SCD Diet

Hi all,

So I decided to see an integrative health doctor - she’s a MD but also a holistic doctor who combines modern medicine and holistic medicine. She told me she to do the SCD diet - said it doesn’t have to be forever but for 2 years and she gave me a few supplements to take on the side. She told me her previous clients did very well with the diet. Has anyone here been on the SCD diet then been able to eat almost “normal” afterwards. It’s a very difficult diet with very limited options

I also had great success with SCD and I recommend it. I have been on it since 2013 and was able to get off Remicade and now I am only on 5 ASA. My GI says it’s a miracle. I was med free for six years, and this year I started taking 5 ASA because I had a mild flare-up that was caused I think by stress. My problem is that I always follow it strictly, and when I’m doing really good, I start eating wathever I want. Sooner or later, I start having symptoms again and go back on it strictly. This is not the proper way to do it, but I think that if you do the diet properly for two years and reintroduce food one at a time, you could be successful. Yes the diet is hard in the beginning and takes a lot of preparation, but it’s much easier than being sick with UC. Now I am so used to it and it’s not hard at all. There is also a ton of blogs and cookbooks out there, so you can make pretty tasty recipes. Now I don’t feel the need to make complicated recipes and I do eat quite simply with lots of fruit and vegetables. Honestly I feel that the SCD changed my life. It’s definitely worth a try.
