SCD diet and meds!!! help

I was just reading the ingredients on the mesalamine tablets and enemas and they all contain some illegal ingredients. I don't understand why they put this stuff in there. For example in Pentasa, they put sugar- in Claversal there is a potato starch....Why???????

Now I'm wondering how I can taper off these meds- as they go against the foundation of the SCD diet, and conceivably are the reason for these perpetual flare ups! I know the SCD helps me, because as soon as I have an "illegal" food I have a flare up. At the moment I don't have blood, or any problems- but the moment I don't sleep to well, or get super stressed, my stomach gets weird. I can't help but think med companys do this on purpose.
They create a medication which is anti-inflamitory and flamitory at the same time.
After all, if we were all healthy, they'd lose millions right?

Any SCD people, can tell me how to get off these meds? Are there alternatives that don't have illegal ingredients?

I think you might get better responses/help if you condensed? I noticed you made 3 posts this morning about the same thing. Honestly, I think those things are pretty common drug binders, not an evil plot? :o)

I take capsules not pills so binders shouldn't be in them. Is this possible for you?

I have read that people with a "compounding" pharmacy get some medications done this way (without binders).
I've used a compounding pharmacy once (non-UC) for a dermatology cream Rx'd by my doctor, they made it in-house not a factory.

I wouldn't worry about the enema too much but some people report when they stop vitamins and supplements with these binders/additives they improve. The only vitamin I take D3 has no additives.

Your questions could be better answered by the SCD experts on another forum. The one I read is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BTVC-SCD/messages.
You will get a response if you post your question.
