I haven't posted here in quite some time, but seeing this thread is very encouraging for me. I was here a few years ago when Colby (cfromutah) first made his discovery of the SF&S diet and posted it...
After I read this thread, I ordered a lb. of the seed powder online, as they only had the husk powder at Whole Foods. I am very anxious to try it out!...
Glad to see this thread surface once again! If you get tired of the seeds, or just want to change it up a bit, I'd suggest the sunflower seed butter. Also, I would only eat the spinach cooked or...
Update?...
Like someone already mentioned, the Heineken's don't bother me that much when I'm flaring. Thing is though, when I've been in remission, I can drink other beers and be fine...EXCEPT for filtered and...
I've said it here recently, but this diet has worked for me 3 different times with remission lasting about 2 months each time. Unfortunately, I keep finding new foods and drinks that will put me back...
Well, like I said earlier, the sunflower seed and spinach deal has worked for me multiple times in the past. I was just fine eating mostly what I wanted, but there were certain things I ate and...
I get them weekly and I can't say it has hurt or helped my UC....
That's umm...interesting. Raw veggies...no thanks. The sunflower seed and spinach diet has worked for me 3 different times for a month or two. Unfortunately, those 3 times in remission, I managed to...
This is what got me in remission...Regular foods I always eat PLUS a dozen handfuls of roasted sunflower seeds and a can of chopped spinach for about 10 days. Then I stopped the spinach, but...
I'm glad your husband is feeling better. I hope he can keep everything under control. I'm also really glad to see this thread because I haven't seen a whole lot of talk about the spinach and seed...
I used to be disgusted by it too but I've figured out a good way to eat it and I'm set. Check it out Adam, it's easy for me and could be easy for you. I either eat it for lunch or dinner but...
Everything is still good since I last posted. I been eating a can of spinach a day and it is helping me tremendously. I feel great, living my life again and enjoying it. I been gaining some weight...
I guess the cortisone was just a freak thing, I dunno. Anyways, the last shot I got didn't seem to do much. HOWEVER, In the past week or so I have been eating a WHOLE can of chopped spinach in a big...
Yep, I'm gonna go back and get another shot next week. It seems to be wearing off as I had a few loose BM's today and yesterday. Not cool but without a doubt the sunflower seeds help shot or not. I...
Living with UC at a young age is the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life. I feel all y'alls pain, I was like 18 when I found out I had UC and the past few years of my life have been...
Well, let me try to make this as short as possible. I went to the allergy doctor last Tuesday to get a food allergy test. I was just getting over a sinus infection so they gave me a cortisone shot in...
Can you update us Shellie? Have you tried the diet? Excuse my ignorance but what is "SCD"...
I've read some helpful things in this thread so I think it deserves a bump....
Thanks for sharing, I've been thinking about how my alignment and pinched nerves are effecting my body. Perhaps they are the cause of my UC? That is something I have been wondering for some time now....
The sunbutter seems to digest well with me. I have only been having maybe 2-3 tbsp a day in addition to 5-7 oz of seeds a day, and half a can of spinach. I eat my canned spinach with ramen noodles,...
I ordered some organic sunbutter and it just came in today. I will report back in and share if it's been good or bad for me. I'll probably have a few tablespoons of it a day as well as continue with...
Holy sheet that's a lot of spinach to take in! Feel free to post up some good recipes or ways to take it in. WOW, I'm baffled, that just seems like so much!...
I have an update. So, since 1.11.09 (12days) I have been pretty good about eating roasted and salted seeds and fresh spinach. Roughly 6 to 7 oz of seeds and one or two HUGE handful of fresh spinach...
For any reason, could eating oatmeal EVERY morning be a bad thing though? And yes, I will agree that oatmeal helps make stools more formed. I witnessed it a few hours ago....
[/quote] Call me crazy but thats what worked for me this summer. 2 weeks, I kid you not. I felt so alive. Now I figured a way to get spinach in my diet, EGGS....
Carrots screw me up. It took me 2 weeks for this diet to kick in when I tried it this summer. I was taking in about 8oz of sunflower seeds a day and thats all it took for me. Unfortunately I slipped...
That is great news. Earlier this summer I tried the sunflower seeds for 2 weeks and was feeling back to NORMAL, yes, NORMAL in 2 weeks. I couldn't do the spinach but was eating I believe 8 oz of...
Just curious if anyone has had any luck at a clinical nutrition center or something of the likes. I am just now going to one and have been given a few supplements to take. In addition to that, I, for...
I couldn't handle the spinach so I stuck to seeds and within 2 weeks I felt great!!! I had an appetite, I was gaining weight, I felt like a completely new person! No joke, just sunflower seeds and I...

Sorry forgot to add that. I am eating the ones already out of shell. Chew them up REAL good. I have had no problems with the scratchyness...
Only addition problem I face is the smelly farts. But I can live with that because I feel GREEEEAT!...
I peeked my head in here 2 months ago or so and I ran across a thread about a guy who said that eating spinach and sunflower seeds helped him tremendously. Well, I gave it a try. The spinach, hell...

Well] a year. A couple months ago I got a colonoscopy and the doc said I had UC. I was prescribed asacol. It took the meds and THOUGHT I was healed. When I ran out of the asacol I got some more 2...
