Unless I eat something silly for breakfast, I can usually go the whole day without foods affecting me. If it does, I'll notice an increase in gas and some pain. Somethimes I'll get a weird feeling in...
I eat SCD and have seen great results. Banana pancakes, cashews chewed well, omelets with avocado. Start slow, eating ONLY things that agree with you. It could take weeks for your body to change...
Good point. It probably would've showed up by now. . ....
I would recommend you concentrate on your diet. I used to get chronic headaches, but after being on the SCD diet (and finding the foods that worked for me), I'm feeling amazing. Couldn't tell you the...
I have been on Lialda for over 2 years and have not experienced hair loss. It's freaking me out a little bit, now knowing it's haunting over me. But I'm gonna rock long hair till I lose it (if I do...
Katie, it could always be worse. The best thing you can do is allow your doctor to analyze your body. It's the only way to know for sure what's going on inside your gut!...
Hey, sounds like you're at the beginning of a path of healing! It's important that you realize there's no short term fix. UC is more complicated than anyone can imagine. The Specific Carbohydrate...

Hey, Just heard about Regenokine 'Operations' on the Joe Rogan Podcast (#424 @ 30:00). I haven't done much research about it. But does anyone think that this process could have an impact on...
I will admit I eat to many nuts (cashews, hazelnuts, almonds, more cashews) and I don't have any issues as long as I eat less that 4 at a time and CHEW them really well. There's a noticeable...
Everything is majority mental. The mind has an incredible power to heal, cannabis is simply the key to a door that might get your mind in the right place to heal your body. For me, if I'm not in the...
I've been working on this list for a while.. still can't say it's perfect.. but I miss: pizza, oreos, m&ms, chicken finger subs, McDonald's double cheeseburger, mint chocolate chip ice cream. Man,...
There's two ways to rid yourself of plantar fasciitis: First, we must understand what's causing the stress: This would be the plantar fascia not being long enough for your foot (when foot is...
Holding it in can't be good. My reasoning: your body is telling you to get it out. I had such frequency that walking more than 2 minutes of holding after the initial urge would be all I could bare,...
Chew your food extra well. I've never stopped the SCD once I started, so that's all I got for ya....
Not yet. I don't see it happening for me either. Not that I can't achieve remission; I don't think I'll ever be hire I was pre-uc. Simply based on diet. I was 18 when I got symptoms and ate a real...
I'm with ipoop on this one....
Oh man, what a wretched thought. I've only flown once, and it was before I had really bad symptoms (that have since been managed with diet and Lialda). But I think I would definitely wear a diaper,...
This is the first I've thought it could be from UC, but I have similar unexplainable night sweats sometimes. I'll have to keep better track of them to see if they correlate closely with my other...
What is she eating? This doesn't sound like fun for you guys, I hope it all works out....
That's my last favorite part of UC. Feeling like a puppet that ALMOST has complete control... but can be yanked around with no notice....
No cold pains... however, I've had a mild case of what Caitie is describing. I just take an extra shower a day, making sure the hole is thoroughly soaked and soaped....
I have seen great improvements from a STRICT following of the SCD Diet. However, I'm pretty confident that not chewing food enough can make a big difference in how well it poses through my gut. Don't...
"Symptoms include weight loss, rectal bleeding, and weight loss" haha, sorry, that gave me a good chuckle. But this looks very promising and seems to make sense. Looking forward to the future!...
I wouldn't worry about "stressing your lung tissue". Clearly if you're chugging huge plumes of smoke, you're not gonna help much except getting really high. But, if you can control yourself, just...
Right now, my snacks of choice are as follows: Homemade mixed nuts(blanched cashews, almonds chewed REALLY well) Hard boiled eggs Acorn Squash (I cook a ton of it once a week and it lasts me about 5...
I'm pretty happy. I tend to take on too many things in my life. I love being busy, but it's easy to keep saying yes to people and get stuck with tons of obligations. I generally find happiness the...
Oooo, this is getting spicy! Haha I too am interested in fecal transplants, but if I have to rely on myself to formulate/administer it, I don't know if I'd trust myself.....
We are all so similar. Gotta love it...
I've been on Lialda (4 pills after breakfast) for 2 years. I've never fallen back into the horrible flare I was in before I started it, but I can say that medicine is only one part of the equation to...
I use a Brita pitcher that requires way too frequent if filter changes. It is still a lot better than just the tap. But when I'm out in the woods, I use a Sawyer filter. These aren't really designed...
Welcome to the forum! I can't imagine what I would be doing without this community. I'll often just browse the topics JUST so I don't feel like I'm the only one dealing with this garbage. If you...
I'm avoiding surgery of any type as long as possible. SCD has put me in sight remission, so imma stick with this for now. You definitely need to weigh your options and see what's most important. It...
I don't know about any of you guys, but I can take a wild guess that we all have some pretty interesting poos; ranging all over the consistency charts. I went through a period of time where I dreaded...
As for dressing up, I haven't put enough thought into it. I'll be in the middle of moving to another apartment... but I can't wait to buy candy. It's been so long since I have purchased Abby of that...
Before I found Lialda and the SCD Diet Lifestyle, I was in the bathroom with great urgency 20+ times a day, for maybe 10 minutes at a times. Sometimes longer. Now (2 years later) I'm in the bathroom...
Posts like this make me feel so awesome. To be honest I've been in remission (not really, but compared to a lot of people on here, I have it pretty mild) for some time now... occasional flare up...
SCD ifs where it's at for me; truly a lifestyle. It's a hard transition, but soon becomes the only way to go. Check out YouTube for recipe ideas or just talks/interviews about SCD related topics....
Good luck! Not sure what you've done diet-wise, but no amount if medicine can change what you eat. SCD diet has helped me a ton....
I'm not female, more pregnant, but I too have seen great relief from the SCD. It isn't guaranteed, but you need to be patient, diligent, and hopeful. I eat lots of bananas, coconut products, and...
So mad, just typed a nice response to be told by the site that my username and or password were incorrect.... which they weren't. Basically: I feel urgency is my system, as a while, saying "get this...
Thanks. And I found the almond flour can be similar to the devil. I love adding a lot of it to fluff up my pancakes or whatever, but it alllwwaayyyss comes back to bite me. I think it's just never...
I've been on SCD for over 2 years. Only problems I've had have been traced back to a number of things. Riding my bike definitely jostles my gut, leaving me uneasy and sometimes bleeding. Also eating...
There's also something to be said for a pure living environment. I was living with my parents (who didn't exactly get along) and sister, going to school, and working, and was sicker than ever. Now...
The SCD recipe that agrees with me most is either acorn squash (and nothing but) or banana pancakes (1/1 ratio of egg and mashed banana cooked on a pan, eaten with honey). Keep in mind, if I was in...
This really is puzzling. I mean, maybe not. We are each individual outcomes of 200,000 years of evolution. Some of us just hit the lottery....
I'm sure the FDA is doing the best they can.... It's a lot better than if we didn't have them there, ya know? I'm glad I'm off most processed food. But I'm sure there's variances throughout all...
As much as I hate medicine, I have to agree with ipoop. If tapering led to this, that's a step in the wrong detection. No sense in continuing down that road just yet. I hope you start feeling well...
I'm glad someone's thinking about this type of thing....
From my understanding, THC is the "high" chemical, CBD doesn't make you feel any different, but potentially has healing effects. I've heard some controversial stories of little kids using medical...
