New SCD diet - How long until results ?

Hi,

I was diagnosed with UC January 13, even though i had a flare in 2011.. i just didnt know what it was.

I have been perscribed with Prednisone and Salofalk, a Probiotic, Antibiotics and as nothing made any improvement i was hospitalized for a week.

After that, doctor said i could eat almost anything except for spices, sauces and fritures. I have been taking prednisone for quite some time and have experienced a lot of side effects.

I have also suffered significant weight loss (about 30lbs), joint pain and "acne" or some sort of spots/eczema.

After a few months doctor kept me only on Salofalk, and recently ( couple of months ) UC is back and its bad.

Its not that i have a lot of pain, because i dont, but everytime i go to the toilet there is blood, and of course diarrhea.

I started a SCD diet one week ago, basically on chick soup, carrots, chicket meat and eggs.
I feel a lot better and i have had days in wich i only went 2 or 3 times to the toilet. yet, still diarrhea and a lot of blood.

Any idea on how long until i get better results ? i should also start adding other items to my diet, but, at the same time no real progress has been made. Any advice ?

Hi, thanks for your reply!

Doc kept me on oral salofalk, but once during a flare i was pescribed with salofalk enemas wich stoped the bleeding in 3 or 4 days. So i guess this is what works for me, and maybe i should forget granulate salofak wich i have been taking since the beggining (and until the end of my days, says the doctor).

Im going to refill perscriptions tomorrow and will ask for salofalk enema. In the meanwhile i will keep up with my diet and start the food journal. Since i started reading all these posts, i realised how much it makes sense!

Thanks :)

hey b girl - happry t day !

I think i'd ratder eat the nana and throw them taters in dat smootie

Hi,

Question here.. Are peanuts a bad ideia ?

I ve been eating peanuts for the last couple of days to supress that hunger feeling of eating no carbs.

Im also back on meds for 2 days now, Salofalk ( Oral ) and Pentasa ( Enema ).

Blood seems to be gone, but i still have severe D and im going to the WC 5 -6 -7 times a day for the last days.

Other than this i still with my SCD diet, and started a journal of everything i eat or drink to keep track.

Im from Europe.. i never actually ate guacamole in my life :) but it seems nice and easy to do. ill probably like it.

Havent used Mayonnaise for a lot of months now.. always though it would be a bad idea, but as you say.. its not more than oil, lemon and salt.. gonna try that in a couple of weeks.

I dont really bake, but i had already seen recipes with almond flour in the SCD book. Ill try that whenever i get cravings for something that looks like a desert.

The sweet potatoes are "ilegal" for SCD, but maybe ill give it a try. if it doesnt work i go back to carrots!

I ll introduce stuff as i go along and journal everything to see what works for me. Lets see how the meds+diet combo work for the next week.

Thanks a lot for all the info!
