I appreciate your feedback on

this Kim. I didn’t see a reference to this phenomenon in Elaine’s

book unless I missed it. Mara said that this hyper-sensitivity occurs in the

beginning to middle stages of healing?

Thanks again,

Donna

It's

also true that once we've switched to SCD, and detoxed, we become a lot more

sensitive to the additives and synthetic chemicals used in most commercially

processed foods. So we can't go back -- and maybe we shouldn't go back. I'll

do some research and find out if this phenomenon has a name, and more about the

process involved.

May I ask which foods you are more sensitive to now?

Cecile,

That question got me thinking about how we measure

sensitivity to food. That’s something I’m learning. Prior to SCD I had flares

typically once or twice yearly and they would last two months of so, except for

a major one a couple of years ago. When not in a flare I could eat anything.

When in a flare I would become highly sensitive to food in general…but I would

avoid dairy and nuts

I have to preface the next statements by saying that I am

seeing very slow but steady progress on SCD since I started in February ‘08. My

blood work from January compared to August is showing improvements…bone density

showed significant gains since one year ago…no more blood in my stools…no

stomach pains at all…haven’t had to increase my standard medications and

haven’t missed a day of work since starting SCD. On the other side I feel like

my body has been responding to food, since I started SCD, as if I’m in a flare,

albeit a lessening flare as the months progress. My stools are still loose and

I still get a sense of urgency. I thought this was fine until I had a

colonoscopy in July and it showed moderately active UC. I believe that even now

the UC is still active, though lessening, since July. Even so, that’s the

longest time my UC has been active since being diagnosed 11 years ago.

Thanks for the question

Donna
