What is this book you are talking about and what modifications did you make. I just got out of the hospital again and everything I eat I get such cramping and pain I can not take it anymore. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate. Kris Denise,

I was having meetings with the surgeons before I tried the SCD diet the first time. I wanted to ask you a question though about the skin lessions, because I had those too when I was in the middle of trying all sorts of medications. Did you take Humira or Remicade infusions for your UC? Reason being, there was a recent study published, that I posted about on the website about a small percentage of IBD patients breaking out with psoriasis type lessions after taking those types of drugs. Anyways, just wanted to throw it out there if it might be the case for you, as it was for me. I have another post somewhere with pictures of what my horrible looking skin looked like at the time, thankfuly, it has all cleared up and gone away for the most part, minus some that is still on one foot. Keep me posted, and best of luck with the SCD diet! I wish you good success like so many others of us have had with it! Hi Elizabeth,

I thought I knew what it meant to live with UC, but I really had no idea until this last flare. Things got out of hand when I got pregnant and and continued to spiral out of control after Mickey Jean was born. She is now 15 months,and I just got realeased from a 3 week hospital stay. I have been on prednisone no less than 35 mg and up to 60 mg doses for over six months now and two weeks ago I had a scope done that sbowed very liittle decrease in inflamation. I have also developed pyadirma with this flare up and have skin lesions breaking out all over my body. I am so afraid that I am going to be faced with surgery and I cannot wrap my head around that as an option. When I got home from the hospital my mother and my husband informed me that I am going on the SCD diet and I am scared enough to try anything at this point. I am praying this works, as I havenot been able to take care of my own childern, my house, my husband, my life for almost a year now. I am so tired of my body hurting me. So many positive stories related.to this diet give me hope. Thank you. I have had UC for 15 years. I thought I knew what it meant to live with UC, but I really had no idea until this last flare.

Ive been doing it for 3 days and have began to get realy hungry! And some times stomach ache! Is this normal? I spoke to the ibd help line which my doctor had gave me and when i mentioned this specific diet she hadnt heard of it. Its so confusing my gaestronoligist told me to have a healthy balanced life style and to have potatoes and veg etc. Im thinking of doing a food diary and trying to pin point the different foods that give me an upset stomach. I dont eat much bread or startch anyway but i am usualy too ok to eat potatoes. I realy wish i could have a normal digestive system people take it for granted!! Its putting me on a downer! Everyone else seems to manage on this diet! Xx Hey!! Thanks for the breky tips! Ive been doing it for 3 days and have began to get realy hungry! And some times stomach ache! Is this normal?

I do that alot, and it seems to be working out great for me. I think you should for sure give the SCD diet a go. As for me, I don't have any milk products anymore, I used to cheat and have some in my coffee, but I have stopped that 100% and I think its helping alot for me. Most people on SCD don't drink any milk, or atlease if they do, they do VERY rarely. best ofluck with it, and keep us posted on how it goes! Hey Danielle,

I've found that most carbs bother me in way or another. Anyway, I will post more later & I'm happy to be here.

Hey, regarding the almond flour, there have been several people who have also said that too much almond flour has definitely irritated them, so it might be a good idea for you to take it easy with that stuff until later when you are either more healed, or just to go light on that for quite some time. I try not to put down too many muffins myself when I am not feeling 100%, even though they taste so good.:) Hey Adria,

I was diagnosed with UC when I was 15. Took meds for maybe less than a year and then started smoking when I was 16. I went into remission not even really realizing it. Now, 24 years later, I quit smoking a year ago to live a healthier life and all signs and symptoms have returned!! Was it the nicotine or all the chemicals that kept it at bay or both. Geezz! I was actually thinking about the nicotine patch(might be to potent though), but maybe the lozenges may help? Certainly do NOT want to smoke ever again. I have come across some articles about smoking(nicotine) that help suppress our intestines. We might not be stressed but our intestines do not now that. As far as the SCD, I love it! and it has helped me quite a bit. Been on it, well, actually 1 month today. Although does anyone know about the alomond flour. I think I may have been eating too many muffins and alomond flour bread that it has irritated my colon. Thank you... Hi Sherri, I also smoked. I was diagnosed with UC when I was 15.
