Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ginger, Thank you for such a positive email. Good luck with your appointment on wed. Let us know how it goes! It is our hopes that more doctors will be like yours!!!! I would love to be that person in a few years that my dr. is amazed at how a diet can help. Thanks again for your story. sandy' scd 3 month uc since 2004 "ginger.caro" wrote: You asked if I have had any flare ups since I started the SCD - I have not had many bad times, but I have made some mistakes with the diet. With this support group and rereading the book over and over, I am getting better about staying exactly on the plan. I have also mistakenly eaten some things in restaurants that I thought were completely OK and then found that something was added, or just got a stomach ache and not known why. Also, I have cheated, on purpose, a few times, once in Italy this past summer when I ate three gelatos in one day, frustrated that I couldn't have pasta and then at Christmas with ice cream, I think just in defiance. I have never cheated with bread/wheat products because they are supposed to be so damaging.Most of the past 2.7 years have been very good with few stomach aches and rare diarrhea. My doctor says I am his healthiest patient and finally acknowledges the SCD plan as successful and is even giving my email to some of his other patients. This has come a long way from the first year when he wouldn't even look at Elaine's book.Finally, I'm going in for another colonoscopy Wednesday to see if the disease is active at all. If not, he will take me off my medication completely. We'll see.Ginger CaroCrohn's 2.7 yearsSCD 2.7 years--- > > --- . Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
