SCDers- clay cleanse?

All-

Debating starting on the SCD diet. Thus far I've been on my "standard" UC diet (no dairy, alcohol, spicy, greasy/sat fats). Been getting plenty of whole grains and psyllium as I feel like it's helps me stay "composed". However, wanted to try the SCD diet for a few weeks to see what happens.

Been reading up and as I understand, the basis of the SCD is to starve off the bad bugs first, and then put good ones in (probiotics) as a replacement. Actually already started VSL this week just to get on it regardless. To further the theory, any pros/cons around doing a more aggressive cleaning, like a bentonite clay cleanse? They call for a probiotic regimen when complete, which tells me it might get the job done quicker and better than an indirect "starve them" approach.

Would love to get your thoughts here- thanks!!

Thank you for the feedback :)

Going to pick up the book shortly :)

While we're on the subject, for as much as everyone is against antibiotics, would a strong antibiotic "flush" get out the bad stuff quicker (understanding it will also wipe out the good stuff as well)? To me this is highly based on the assumption that the bad stuff is a major cause of the UC.
