SCD for 4-5 months isn’t really a true test to see if SCD works. It took at least a year to really “work”. Trying biologics now; worse off with it so far. Was on basically the exact same regimen as...
Hi Rusty, I just started Humira 5 weeks ago. So far, the results have been WORSE. I was in a pretty stable place before. I'm looking forward to week 8... What supplements did you take? Just ordered...
Just started Humira 3 weeks ago. Anyone experience a lot of diarrhea in the beginning? I was having formed stools before this... Thanks...
John, I very much appreciate your response. This forum is so great. When I first started here there was a guy who was on a spinach and sunflower butter only diet. Do you remember that? Anyway, I’m...
Hi folks, It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I experienced a decently long remission and checked now and then. Any way, according to my doctor now instead of mesalamine > biologics, the research...
Well after a year and a half long remission I’m dealing with a flare. I believe it started when I ate a sugar coated papaya spear on accident. I’ve been on scd for 3.5 years and have seen success...
Bad news, coconut water is not legal. It has water from young and right coconuts similar to how eating green bananas is not legal...
I have done SCD for 2 years. In remission now. SCD does not make money. There aren't any "products" I own that are labeled SCD besides Elaine's book. It cost $15. Worth it....
I'm so sorry to hear this. The Lord be with you...
I agree with the above, SCD questions should be asked on SCD forums like Facebook or Yahoo groups. Those are the two best I found remission with the SCD diet as well you can find my story on healing...
I definitely see fall/spring as being tough with uc. Like some others said you should find a steady treatment that doesn't result in flaring every year. However I can feel this season being the most...
Please read my story I hope it helps. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=3649406 I suggest scd intro diet immediately with plenty of ripe bananas for energy. Also, douse your...
Depending on what you eat . The smell can be better. Try scd. Stay away from foods that ferment in the gut....
Hey everyone, just updating this thread. Still keeping to the protocol of the SCD diet along with other lifestyle changes. In remission. Haven't taken Lialda for the past week. Nothing bad is...
I am so sorry. Please message me if you'd like. I've got some remissions tips... I teach as well....
OK, I have no idea why my signature will not update. This is an old signature....
Just an update, still doing well. Two months ago I added fermented foods. This seems to be very good for me. I listen to a podcast where a microbiologist was giving scientific research that's been...
I definitely recommend lightly cooked sauerkraut!...
I can confirm fermented foods and the SCD diet works. This is my first time posting here in a few months. I've had a pretty stable remission after being diagnosed with pan colitis. I've been on the...
Check out my thread on how I found success with scd...
It is challenging that's for sure.....
Thanks ipoop I appreciate it...
The SCD book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, has the recipes you need. If there's something specific you want to make, let me know....
Hey all, My progress has ebbed and flowed since I was diagnosed with UC in Feb 2014. At first it was terrible. After the first colonoscopy I was WAY worse. Every terrible symptom of this disease I...
Went searching again for answers and totally forgot I posted this. I'm going to contact my gastro in the morning and ask about this. I can't sleep tonight! My symptoms are not bad at all. Almost gone...
Coconut IS good for UC. Coconut bread is one of my go to foods for UC. I haven't had much problem with coconut oil. You'd would think it would heal the gut since it has been used to heal skin...
I highly recommend a specific carbohydrate diet. Stay on the intro diet for four days then slowly add foods. If you find yourself having issues go back to the intro diet. The chicken soup and bananas...
Just stud obviously ipoop meant that low doses don't give your body a chance to heal. Have you tried any alternative therapies?...
Made the switch because Balsalazide didn't really seem to be doing anything. I've been taking it for about a year now. Maybe it's helped don't know. Diet change and rectal meds have helped the most....
No don't take the pred Wait until you're prescribed a course w taper Uceris did me some good. Add rectal meds, be diligent about oral meds and you could see remission easily. The nice think is those...
A stress free vacation ALWAYS puts me at 1-2 solid bms a day (now not when I was doing very bad) My wife and I went to the keys last november and I felt great the whole time. Stress is a huge factor....
Interesting, I'm thinking about skipping a day so that I don't take too much. It might've been good for me to ease into it. Today hasn't been so bad, three bms mostly formed and probably won't have...
I appreciate John's optimism. I hope for a cure as well...
Took fish oil yesterday. Solid bm today Could be a coincidence as my system has been up and down Also when I started to flare about 5 days ago I went on the SCD intro diet again and that always...
Search "breaking the vicious cylcle" It's called btvc.info or something like that The book explains the diet well. It's not easy but worth it not to be sick or on serious meds. The intro I think is...
The tough thing is I'm also a concert performing musician. What I found is there is a certain anxiety before performing that makes me need to go. If I can go right when I get that anxiety, right...
I am a college professor, Right now my symptoms are generally under control. I've had some hard days, even an accident. Luckily I peaked in and ended class without anyone knowing. I've never been so...
I just purchased Carlson 500 ml Norwegian fish oil. I read it was the highest quality fish oil out right now. I got the unflavored kind because I am maintaining SCD. I'll report back with any...
Consider going on the "Intro diet" for SCD. A few days ago I was feeling terrible but doing this (and drinking plenty of homemade broth) totally reset my system. Also, try cort enemas just to get you...
So sorry this happened. I've been in your shoes. I tend to just run away fast as I c an though. It has taught me this though: I'd do anything to get better and not have another accident...
OhCrap! Your story sounds just like mine!!...
I probably drank about 5 oz each day. I juiced it myself. I've seen some of the other posts, but many praise it for its ability to heal ulcers......
Anyone have issues with cabbage juice? I've heard it's good for UC and started taking 2 days ago on empty stomach. But today I wasn't feeling great......
Great advice juststud. Thanks Symptoms today are slightly better, perhaps tomorrow I will try increasing to 9 a day. This disease is so aggravating...
I may be wrong but this has happened once before. My dr prescribed 6 Colazol per day because I was in remission. I very recently began seeing symptoms return so I stepped up to 9 and contracted this...
Ugh, back in a mild flare again after a short remission. Little urgency but liquid bms today. Also I have a TERRIBLE sore throat. I just started using cort enemy's atain tonight I will use once a...
Great question, I hope more will contribute For me it's been SCD diet and high fiber coconut bread...
Interesting,,, will check out...
Yes change diet. Go SCD. Don't drop meds...
It's the fiber I'm thinking about posting a list of some of the best foods for ulcerative colitis for some of the new people on here. Blueberries are definitely on my list. I've learned a lot about...
