SCD Diet

The diet has helped a few but don't bet the farm on it. Doesn't hurt to try and see if you are one of the lucky ones. There have been several where SB has helped but don't remember anyone where it has brought them to remission. There are some good studies on it. SB made me much worse.

I second Gary- scd doesn't hurt to try. I did autoimmune paleo and had some relief with that- the dairy and nuts in scd didn't work for me but everyone is different. Some people do really well with SB- I was not one of them! It brought me more symptoms. If you haven't tried VSL#3, I would recommend giving that a try. I have the double strength prescribed by my doctor and it is aimed at people with UC. I'm a big fan.

I am a fan of the SCD diet. When I was diagnosed 10 years ago, I was on rowasa enemas, colazol & asacol. At the time, my GI wanted to give me prednisone, but I refused it. I couldn't get rid of the symptoms and was miserable for 6 mos. In desperation, I tried supplements, and the SCD diet. I think the diet helped me turn a corner, but I don't think it would work alone (for me anyway). The meds played a part, too. I had remission for several years, then another flare. My longest remission was 7.5 years. I am in my third flare and started the SCD diet again a month ago. I was getting worse last week...and (fingers crossed) now I feel I've turned another corner for the better. It's really a mystery, this condition. I think SCD works well for some people. You have to give it time. I bought a cookbook this time and it has helped quite a bit. Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.
