SCD Yogurt induced Diarhea?

[Guest guest]

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
