SCD diet works for everyone? need help with diet

No. The SCD diet does not work for everyone. There's no one size fits all solution for UC. Our UC treatment toolbox contains many tools to try, some work well for an individual and others do absolutely nothing (or even make symptoms a whole lot worse). Fortunately there's a lot of tools to try until the right one is found. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of trial and error and frustration during the interim. All of us have very different solutions to our UC, often full of contradictions (what works for me won't for someone else).

SCD is a very restrictive diet and some have trouble maintaining weight on it. Give it a fair chance of a month. Keep with it when it works, ditch it if it does not. Take every treatment with a healthy skepticism, and expect results! There's many treatments that won't work and only a few that will work.

I've found no benefit from diets like SCD. Others swear by them. That's UC!

i went to remission while eating gluten.it means my gut ok with gluten?
or its just because of pred and other meds for a short interval of time that my gut dont react to gluten

right now i am taking 25 mg pred,i was on 15 mg before then increased it a symptoms increased.i am taking azathioprine 50 mg and meslamine 1.2 g thrice a day,1 folic acid tablet and 1 vsl #3,which i dont think working on me.sometimes i feel like symptoms return as i lower pred,i am taking 5 mg out every 10 days,started from 30 mg and i was feeling good after 7,8 days but then took 20 mg for about a week and symptoms returned.i have one more question,do you think that pred not gonna work if i am eating something that my gut cant tolerate.while i am flaring because during flaring its hard to find whats not gonna work with my gut.i go to bathroom 4-5 times,brown sticky liquid for first 1,2 times then stools starts to come formed covered in that brown or little red liquid and i only go in morning,it takes 2-4 hours.

SCD has worked very well for me for the past 15+ years. I am unable to tolerate mesalamine aside from short-term, very low doses so I've been managing my illness via SCD and other supplements (see signature). I've never had to take predisone or other strong meds and had a 12 year remission. My UC was moderate severity upon diagnosis and my subsequent colonoscopies have been clear (no inflammation) aside from the most recent one after a flare that begin in jan, which still showed mild rectal inflammation, but colon was completely normal. My BM's look normal and no urgency.

There are thousands of people like me out there that are managing UC with diet/supplements and intermittent use of meds.

Just keep a food journal. SCD is not a miracle or anything so track your symptoms and you may have to adjust. You may be one of the "lucky" ones that can manage it via diet.

Lastly, SCD is a stage diet. Most people that don't get results don't introduce foods in stages and don't start on the intro diet for a few days before starting to incorporate foods slowly and testing it out.

I do think that steroids help with being able to eat foods that we probably shouldn't or are unable to eat when not on steroids. I usually feel so well on my high steroid dose that after a few weeks, which generally coincides with a 30 mg/day dose, I get over-confident and hungry (and feeling deprived) and eat sugar or gluten, etc. Then I end up with some symptoms, which usually coincides with a steroid reduction to 20 mg, which I usually end up blaming on the lower steroid dose (the symptoms). But is that true? Or is it the food I've eaten? It's *really* hard to tell, so probably the best advice is to keep at the diet/food diary while reducing steroids, and then to keep at if you are able to successfully stop. Only then will you be able to tell for sure (IMO) if the food is affecting you.

Now, to follow my own advice!

well yesterday i started SCD diet,first veggies then i will try fruits.hope results will be good because i think veggies will be no harm to gut,and i have eliminated all grains and sugers which is not a negative point.its just like i didnt add anything new,i just removed some of the food from my diet so i think there will be no harm

the problem with SCD diet is that i am a vegetarian so if i follow that diet there is no source of protein left and if i give up grains then there is no source of carbs left for me and i lose weight too fast and no energy left in body

i only eat cooked veggies

The Crohn's and Colitis foundation is studying SCD now. This trial is for Crohn's only. Hopefully some useful information will come out of it.

There are some vegetarian sources of protein with SCD such as eggs, scd yoghurt and green leafy veg. The other sources shouldn't be introduced to early in the diet but they include almond milk, lentils and nut butters.

The following is a really good website for being vegetarian and following SCD:
