Has anyone else used this diet? I've been getting very good results with it and I'm curious about other people's experiences. I started using the SCDiet about 10 months ago and experienced some improvements in my Crohn's symptoms, but I still had flares and bad days. Over the 10 months I kept testing foods and restricting my diet based on how my body reacted. My diet ended up quite a bit more restricted than the SCD, but I have managed to find foods that leave me totally symptom free. No D, pain, gas or bloating (which I had all the time/many times a day for over 3 years) and no bleeding (which I have had a bit of occasionally). Eventually I checked the book "Life without Bread" and found that what I can tolerate matches the Lutz diet almost exactly. It's pretty amazing how my symptoms have vanished, but if I eat many carbs i get hammered every time. One thing to note, I'm also using LDN and a bunch of supplements, but given how much I react to the introduction of carbs every time, I'm pretty sure it's the diet that's making the biggest difference. I just wanted to check and see if other's have had this experience.
Cheers,
Ryan
