Hi sorry for late replies hope you are still interested...
Pecanbread is very good! Keep up the good work. You can search Amazon for some SCD cookbooks too.
It's funny because day 1 of SCD was day 1 of Prednisone @ 30mg so I noticed "results" immediately. I was on the steroid for 3 months and then off, and haven't been on it since. I have "setbacks" that last about 8 days now, every 7-9 weeks I'd say, they are NO WAY NEAR being called flares.
Over the year of being on SCD I have noticed multiple improvements in UC symptoms. Mainly, the randomness. I have completely reduced any and all garbage that enters my body. There is no more random bleeding, or diarrhea. I can "feel" setbacks come on, and when they do I know to just take it easy. Nothing is random anymore, I go 1 or 2 times a day consistantly for the past 3 months now (I'll go twice when I didn't go ONCE the previous day)Ssome days more better looking then else, and some days they are puuuurrrfect.
My 7-9 weeks are very good, it has reduced the inflammation in my tendonitis in my forearms as well. I always get excited about nearing a remission, but then I'll have a setback. I am not sure why they happen, I think it's because I get really low on my taper of mesalamine enemas, or I try something I cannot tolerate too well.
Either way, my life is really intense. I am extremely bright and outgoing, I have a very intense and demanding lifestyle. SCD has let me resumed this passionate life, it is a blessing.
I take the SCdophilus 10+ once in the morning while slowly eating a 1/2 cup of yogurt over the course of 30 minutes (my secret recipe to a perfect crap)
