Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 As I have stated a few different times I started SCD on the 30th of December right after a " stomach flu " that threw my UC into a flare, well I have done fairly well for just beginning, ups and downs of course and then starting yesterday my flare just got so much worse. I'm not sure what made it flare so bad but I called my doctor and he wants to increase my prednisone back up to 20mg. This completely depresses me! I HATE prednisone with a passion and have decided to follow SCD in hopes of staying away from it! I have been on prednisone sense September last year, and increasing adds another 2 months I will be on it! I know a week is not enough time to tell if this diet will work for me and if anything it has already helped my anxiety and " brain fog " to some degree. I just have so many questions I don't have answers to and do not know where to turn because I feel if I ask them I will feel stupid or ignorant. So I guess I will just ask, given this flare and the increased blood do I need to go back on the intro diet and start all over? There is not a lot of frequency involved, I also don't know whether I should just tough it out and stick to the diet religiously and not increase the prednisone and see where that gets me, but I don't want it to get too bad, I know no one will have that answer but from personal experience does anyone have any opinions? Thanks for reading if you've made it this far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
