With respect, If Mickey Mouse was the source of the info it wouldn't change the fact that it's the truth....
that would be great to have something that can give you a quick answer about inflamation!...
Right because inflammation has nothing to do with Crohns? lol So by your logic no one should try to get healthy because we are all going to die anyway. Good point! lol Maybe you missed the point of...

http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/126185/diet-change-can-have-anti-inflammatory-effect-in-weeks-study Updated at 10:09 pm on 22 January 2013 An Auckland University study has found a healthy...
I found some interesting articles on sugar and it's effect on inflammation. The webpages have references on the bottom of the page....
Jason..Isn't it common sense if what you eats creates an environment in your intestines that evoke an immune response? Our guts are a complex eco-system. It took time to create an imbalance of...
If certain people on here are only interested in studies and shoot down what works for an individual then why come to an internet message board? Is it only to let that person and everyone reading it...
wow If this website wants to have any respect at all It should start taking a good look at itself and question what is allowed to be posted. Amazing that someone comes on here and shares a success...
Everyone can list doctors with every credential and until someone can show me just 1 that can positively tell me the root cause of IBDs I will continue to do what I know works. I eat like crap. I...
By the way..I'm not exactly so strict with my diet also. But I never had bad symptoms and when I feel the slightest bit of anything I eat well for a few days and I take anti-fungals....
Who are these Crohns researchers you speak of? No such thing. maybe you are referring to drug companies. The way drug companies work is they find certain chemicals that have certain effects on the...
I was never laughing. You were the one that laughed at me. What do you attribute your success to?...
mountain of what??? All of evidence of a disease that is classified as "unknown cause" by the so called experts? Are you for real?? The same experts that tell you that what you eat has no effect on...
Ambling..Thank you for your reply. i was diagnosed with "mild crohns" by one doctor and "non-specific colitis" by another. Truth is it doesn't matter what it's called. its all inflammation. The only...
I'm not looking to get into a pissing contest on HW again. Some people are just set in their thinking and I don't think anything will change their mind but.. The TNF is not a "known cause of CD"...
If there's a environmental cause of the inflammation and you remove it and you get better it isn't a cure? Why not? because mainstream doctors who admittedly say they don't know the cause is say so?...
Here comes all the negative replies about someone who HEALED. It's unbelievable how its so hard for people to understand that a digestive disease can be healed by eating foods that your body is...
Hello..I hope everyone is doing well. Shubi...What SCD does not get into is molds or yeast. Yeast feed on any type of sugar. I feel sick when I eat too much of any sugar. SCD legal juices and fruits...
Have you been eating lots of fruits, juice or honey lately? NCOT...The bad bacteria do not eat the same stuff as the good bacteria. Also yeast and mold do not feed on the same things. If that was the...
NCOP.. wow..We actually agree on a few things :) Now let's just put the pieces togheter! IBDs has never been proven to be an auto-immune disease. There isn't any anti-bodies being produced against...
My ASCA test came back negative as well as the PANCA test but yet one of my doctors who did a colonoscopy said I had mild crohns. There's an article from Dr Ali that mentions when he was a...
The thing I don't understand about SCD is why don't we hear more about things that help kill off the bad bacteria,viruses yeast? I'm taking Nystatin and this Berberin pills and it stopped my colon...
This is an extremely unnecessary comment. I think it's best if we don't turn this into a shit-flinging fest just because we might not all agree with eachother. The fact of the matter is, none of us...
Thanks..The Umass study was based off the SCD diet..and Dr Gallands diet is pretty cool. He not only tries to fix the gut flora he also uses stuff to heal intestines like Glutamine. Now I have to...

NiceCupOfTea said... You admitted that you do think that SCD and it's premise "should" work. Uh, no, nowhere did I say that. You also mentioned that it would "effect" your quality of life. It would....
NiceCupOfTea said... @C6H12O6 (just noticed for the first time this is the chemical formula for glucose :p) - Thanks for your post. I'm glad SCD worked so well for you. I'm still trying, without much...
NiceCupOfTea said... Sigh, of course it's hypothetical . The whole point of scientice is that scientists think up hypothesies and then devise experiments to 'prove' (in inverted commas) whether they...
NiceCupOfTea said... @livingwell - All of those links specifically mention 'animal protein' or 'meat', amongst other things. And all scientific studies use qualifiers like 'may' instead of 'proven',...

My symptoms were mostly gas, some mucous and a bit of constipation. All my blood work was normal but a colonoscopy showed mild to moderate inflamation in the ilieum. I think he saw 2 small ulcers....
Balancing out gut flora (bacteria & yeast) has worked for me and many many others. I just can't see anything else but an environmental factor being a cause for intestinal inflamation. Balancing out...
NCOT you wrote "Those last two would be for symptom control only and have no bearing on the course of your disease." Do the other dugs you mention have a bearing of the course of crohns? If the...
TJ Im kind of in the same boat. Whatever the tests show the main thing is that the inflamation is low or not there. Crohns is a scary word. Sometimes reading stuff on a messge board can make it...
A GI prescibing the SCD diet? Is he in NC?? I might make the trip!...
NCOT.. you wrote" "Oh yeah, another one for the Paleos! If meat is so pure, why has a high animal protein diet been positively associated with getting IBD" link? If you are reffering to MAP then...
NCOT....I've been doing research on IBDs for a long time. Gut Bacteria is the only thing that makes sense to me. SCD does addres this but there are other things that address this as well. I do think...

Nicecupoftea would you like the link to my doctors addess? Maybe these links can help.. http://scdlifestyle.com/about-the-scd-diet/...
My GI is as mainstream as you can get. During my visit last week he mentioned how there is new research on how IBDs are caused by a bacterial inbalance in our intestines. Interesting and thank God...
If the premise of the diet is correct, it doesn't matter how bad the inflammation is when you start it or not. It should work. Although I can't tolerate some of the fruits and juices on it. I don't...

Humira basically shuts down your immune system. An opportunistic infection such as C Diff would likely thrive in such an environment. It makes sense to me....
