Normal colonoscopy after 4 years on SCD for UC

[Guest guest]

Hello all, I haven't visited this site for a while but wanted to let you know

that I had a colonoscopy a couple of months ago and recently finally got around

to going to the Doctor to get my biopsy results. All my results were clear and

normal, there was no sign of UC.

It took me about 3 to 4 years on SCD to get to this stage, and there were some

very big ups and downs including a big flare about 2 years into the diet which

required me to use prednisolone for the first time. I persevered because I could

feel in myself that I was better on the diet than off. I am continuing with the

diet and will do so for a long time before I am brave enough to do any

experimenting. I am also continuing to take a very low dose of Colazide (2

capsules) as some extra insurance, on my Doctor's recommendation.

My quality of life is normal, I enjoy my food and am extremely thankful that I

found the SCD. My only frustration is that during my Doctor's consult he advised

me that SCD might improve inco-ordination of the bowel but does not work on the

inflammation. It seems my clean colonoscopy is not enough proof for a Dr - only

a clinical study would be.
