what should I add to my diet +

Currently doing the SCD with no dairy, grains, legumes, coffee, sugar and low-sulfur with no eggs, cruciferous vegetables, onions, and garlic. I can't cut the meat because I'll starve, although it might further decrease the amount of sulfur. I'm 5'7 and 115 lbs and need to gain a little. Still flaring.

add turmeric, seriously. Not so much to add calories, but to help. A spoonful at night and in the morning. I don't believe that would violate SCD and it actually has clinical research on helping colitis (it's been my savior).

IMO SCD and its ilk are a distraction. It's good to test out if it makes you feel like you're gaining some measure of control, but you're doing all this and you're still flaring. It's hard to enjoy life and live on an extremely restricted diet that has little to no scientific basis-- true remission is being a normal person and eating whatever it is you want to eat. But just my opinion, not trying to threadjack.

And if you want calories, imagardener hit the nail on the head with oils-- except you can just eat them by the tablespoonful (don't over do it or you'll poop yourself, or if you choose a high cholesterol oil, get heart disease!). Nothing has more calories per ounce than oil-- serious mountain climbers take olive oil pills with them for energy and calories in a small package.

I would say nuts but I've read that nuts can be rough on the intestines. Maybe certain nuts would be okay until you can add more variety?

I tried SCD diet for a few months when I was in a terrible flare. I lost so much weight, I was down below 100 pounds and I was sicker than ever. I couldn't eat anything. It wasn't due to the diet so much as the awful flare up that I was experiencing. I was constantly on the toilet and I didn't retain anything I ate.

When I was on SCD I ate a lot of meats. A steak and some veggies or fish and vegetable. It can get pretty boring but it's actually probably better for you than eating all of this grain and sugar. I just didn't see enough change in my condition to justify eating like a bird and spending loads of money on the diet. I am back to eating whatever I want. I know I should cut down on the sugars because I feel like my body is craving it too much, like inbalance where I need sugars. It's just so hard to stop, even to cut down, I want more and more.
