   I had a beautiful older sister named Sheri, who we lost at a very young age and I have not seen the spelling very often, so I love your name and the spelling.

   Yes, the SCD is the diet from the Breaking the Vicious Cycle Book. I lived on a lot of whole foods, meats, fruits, and veges. I ate a good deal of fiber, even when it caused pain (I slowed fiber and meats when I saw bleeding). My greatest fear after seeing my first scope (everything was jaundiced, yellowed and looked like someone started a weed-eater in there) was that my gut would scar and form a blockage, and many people helped me monitor myself, including a Doctor friend. They would not use most Crohn's drugs due to allergies and other issues. I used Asacol for a short time, then stopped after becoming symptom free for a time in hopes it would still work if I needed it in the future. This time when I chose to have my scope it was right after the holiday season, and my diet was kinda crappy all last year. I was a little afraid of what we would see, and I'm ecstatic with the results after trashing my diet for a full year prior. The diet is very difficult, not for everybody, and if I had had any choices, it would have been the last thing I would or could have done. My nephew was DG'd at 3 years old, has had 3 surgeries, been crippled off an on for a good part of his life, and swears a good deal of it could have been avoided, had he known about the SCD sooner.
   There is SCD info in the resources (above right), and I will send you links to recipies if you want to know of what we eat, of want more info.
