i am constantly experimenting with diets. i never get tired-it's sort of a passion of mine. i was one a vegan/vegetarian but it did not turn out so well because i was eating mass amounts of ice cream. i am also gluten free (celiac) & i do believe i have lactose intolerance because i get a lot of bloating and flatulence. these last few days i have been experimenting with poultry & my stomach literally feels like its going to shrivel up. i don't think i can consume meet anymore. i think i am going to stick to a alkaline vegan diet but this time around i need to get strict. our lives depend on our diets and medication.

i was wonder..what kind of diets work for you guys?
i want to hear different opinions.

thanks,

I have been on the SCDiet now for 10 months and I have closed a bladder fistula and possibly other fistulae. (All internal)

I have also been using medical cannabis for a year which helps greatly with inflammation and increased energy and appetite. I use it in a tincture form.

I have been on the scd diet since 2007 and I have not had a flare or symptom from CD since.  Two massive rectal fistulas healed up after 7 months on the diet and have not returned.  The only med I take are pentassa. The secret to getting this diet to work is 100% fanatical dedication and eating a lot of homemade yogurt.

Paleo. I'm currently doing the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol, which is a further elimination diet.

I'm not taking any meds do to infection problems, so I rely solely on diet and exercise.

My GI swears if I go to totally plant based my body will heal itself. No processed food at all. Organic only. I find this hard to imagine since it contradicts CCFA's recommendation of Low Residue (which is low veg). All I know is that for years, fibrous vegetables, leafy vegetables make my stomach hurt--so I don't really know what to do, to be honest. I've been wondering what others have tried myself. (Started a thread a few days ago)
