Been on SCD 3 weeks now. That, along with the Humira and Imuran is keeping me functioning - although mostly no formed stool and sometimes b and m! Tonight, I cheated and had crisps and chocolate! And I feel so bad! I wouldn't feel bad if I wasn't having symptoms cos I suppose it wouldn't be too bad! Ahh this disease is so hard and the diet restrictions make it so much harder. Having a fed-up day and needed to vent. Back to being good tomorrow.

Last Tue I had the worst flare ever, after few days went to the ER, was dehydrated, no need to go into details, most of you here know how it is...

Yesterday decided to start SCD, are there others who are on this diet? Can you share experience? Any extra info would be of great help то ме.

(I am new to this forum, never had the guts to write until now. English is my second language and I apologize for the mistakes, or if I sound funny to you :)) )

welcome Fermina. We try not to make fun of anyone in this forum but "somedude" (that's his forum name) may be the exception. Try and understand he is harmless like a puppy dog.

Diet modification (which is what SCD is) has been the reason for my remission. I've given SCD a couple of very good tries, very faithful, but ultimately it did not work for me. It has worked for others however and you'll need to see if their particular diet suits your gut.

Good luck. Diet modification is rarely an overnight success but hopefully you will see some improvement in symptoms.

Ah. I can't imagine not being able to eat CHOCOLATE on next Valentine's

Mucho respect for religious SCDers

I just started SCD on Thursday. Craving for Luger's steak sauce... on my plain steak.

Beware of the puppy dog :)) Thanks for the heads up.

SCD seems tough, but this time I am going to be very strict, for as long as I can... I am sooo tired of being in this vicious cycle for almost 2 yrs now. Yep, it took the doctors forever to send me to colonoscopy this Jan...

Hi Fermina, welcome to the forum! I never would've noticed English is your second language - you're good ;-) I am over 3 weeks on SCD now and it's working for me - along with ALL of my medication. I'm not perfect but definitely able to function! I've been eating a bit too much raw fruit though so I need to cut back on that as its running through me! I cheated this weekend (as above) and didn't have a major effect but it definitely didn't agree with me! Have you bought the books? Raman Prasad's Recipe Book is really good. Almond flour has saved me from my cravings! I currently have my banana muffins and blueberry muffins in the oven! I put 200g of almond flour, some nutmeg, some cinnamon, two tablespoons of vanilla extract, two eggs, teaspoon of salt, 40mg of butter melted in the microwave, two tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and then either mushed banana or mushed blueberries all mixed in one big bowl and in the oven at 170degrees Celsius for 20mins. I eat 3-4 a day most days. I'm going to make bread next. Ive made pizzas too. I also make scones. Haven't tried the yoghurt yet! For other diet modification, I would avoid onion, chilli, caffeine, alcohol and limit the almond flour and yoghurt. Try peppermint tea and take 3 tablespoons of olive oil every morning or night. Good luck!

Thanks, Minners! I just bought the almond flour today, will try your recipe. I've been reading here http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes/r_006_00407.php but will get some books too.

Fermina Dasa, you said you were just at the hospital last week right?

If you are having bad D, i would say stay away from Almond flour.
It's one of the common mistakes that SCD beginners make. It's for advanced SCDers as their symptoms are reduced or under control.

And did you buy the book yet? page 69 has the intro diet which you can start with.

So glad you told me... Flare (or some infection) started Tue, Sat I was at the ER. Started the diet yesterday.
I had mostly fruits, eggs, soup (turkey + carrots)... Today basically the same, but now I am about to roast some ground beef. Ugh... i was sooo hoping to have something bread like, more solid :( Will by the book in a day or two...

FWIW there are not 'stages' in the original book.

blog.scdrecipe.com/2012/02/09/stages-scd/

There is an intro diet, and foods you should not eat while symptoms are active.

This leaves me basically nothing... I am going to disappear :(
