Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi, I'm new to the forum and hope some of the veterans out there can give me some useful advice. 1) My 11yo son was just diagnosed with UC 2 wks ago after 6mo of intermittent diarhea. He has been started on Asacol/Prednisone, and we also started SCD about 10 days ago. After 1 wk, he seemed to be feeling better with less frequent and more form to his bowel movements. We introduced SCD yogurt earlier in the week, and used it to make smoothies using a combination of bananna, strawberries and honey. Over the last 2-3 days his Bms have reverted back to diarhea with an occasional spot of blood. He has been very strict with the diet and I assume this is from the yogurt. I read in Elaine's book that this can sometimes happen in the first 2-3 wks of the diet, but don't know if this is specifically related to the yogurt. Any advice in general, and specifically whether to stop or continue with the yogurt? 2) Also are there any people with UC/CD that are using the diet that would be willing to directly correspond with my wife who is skeptical because our pediatric GI is telling her there is no role for diet in the management of this disease. She's worried that our son will not be able to gain weight and get the essentials he need to grow. Thank you all for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
