Foods that soothed for newbies

[Guest guest]

I have been on the SCDiet for almost 3 weeks now & I just feel like I'm doing

something wrong or I'm missing something. I am commite4d to this diet as it is

truely my only option and it is so depressing to feel worse on it than I did off

of it, despite all of my energy being put into it. I know this is nothing new

here, I just need to vent a bit! I am soooo hungry all of the time & my bm's are

softer/loser now than they were when I followed SAD. I worry about urgeny & not

being able to make it to the bathroom in time. The good news is: I posted last

week about gas pains (Asacol vs Lialda) & fortunately that issue has improved,

may be because I did switch meds.More good news is I do feel better despite

starving and loser bm's. I have been able to turn onto my sides in bed at night

something which I haven't been able to do it years because it always made me run

to the bathroom. My mood has improved, I sleep better and I am having less bm's.

IMO the diet is working but boy is it giving me a tough time at the start here.

I am currently eating limited foods-chicken broth w/ boiled chicken, 1-2 small

pieces of well-cooked carrots a day, Welch's 100% grape juice, 1-2 eggs every

other day, about 1 oz of brick cheese (Colby or Jack), Dole 100% Pinapple juice

made into pops-may be I'll have 1 a day and bananas. I already cut out most

dairy (yougurt, DCC) & beef patties so I am so scared that I have to cut more

things out but I have a feeling the bananas are an issue. What do you think?

Also, is there a food that I am NOT eatting that might help fill me up but is

not aggrevating to most?

Thanks,
