Stopping Remicade, Using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet Now

Hello All, I have had Ulcerative Colitis since 2005. I ve been taking medications Imuran, contisone, asacol, canasa etc. and Lately the famous Remicade. I do not have diarrhea, is just the horrible urgencies to the bathroom and the pain. I had 3 Remicade infusions and I gave up, it did not do anything for me, it made me fell tired all the time and I started to have breathing problems, something wrong with my lungs.
I call my doctor and told him that I don’t want the Remicade any more. I started the SCD diet and I just taking my pills Imuran, asacol and canasa at night. I am hopping that this diet work. I really want to save my colon. So far I am doing well, to be honest I cheat couple of times in the office and I eat something sweet but I am ok so far. It is very difficult but I will keep trying.
Adam, when you prepare the smoothie, do you add the SCD yogurt? I am afraid to try it, does it cause diarrhea?

Thank you all and I will write again to tell you more about the diet and how I feel.
