scd question

I would ask instead whether you have seen any improvement in your symptoms in those 5 months and whether you think SCD is the reason. Then decide whether to continue, change your diet (I modified SCD to suit my colon) or try something else.

After a year I had more BM's than 2-3 day but it was a huge improvement over what it was like before starting diet mod. so I kept with it. In order to eliminate D (for me) I had to eliminate all dairy, that was the key for me. May be something different for you.

Some of us have very stubborn symptoms that's all I can say. I didn't want to go on stronger biologic meds so I kept with diet mod. and keep exploring foods. And keep seeing improvement even almost 2 years later.

Good luck.

i think i am going to try to remove raw fruit first because i noticed sometimes my symptoms get worse with things like apples, grapes and citrus even with the peels removed. sometimes even if i cook vegetables till soft, they still cause D yet other times i can eat a small amount of salad with no significant change.

apples are a no for me, except in compots.

citrus fruits are not ok, because they tend to irritate your gut.

imagardener is right. if you've seen benefits then go on, if not stop it. no one pushes you to keep this diet :)

my best results were obtain after almost 1 year on the diet.
sometimes i still go 2-3 times a day, but D episodes and the pain are reduced to minimum.

good luck.
