I also ate a lot of avocados and put coconut oil in everything!Want to do more with Windows Live? Learn “10 hidden secrets” from .

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Greg - Please be careful about using herbs. For one thing, most of them are probably not SCD-legal. Several years ago, before I started SCD, I used a combination of herbs that were prescribed by a Chinese herbalist (unfortunately, I don't remember which ones) and also tried reducing my Asacol dose at the same time. My next colonoscopy showed increased ulceration, so I gave up the herbs and went back to my regular medication dose.
