Die off after 1 yr and 3 months?

[Guest guest]

In the last week or so I have started suffering a pretty bad flare up of my UC.

The dates could mean it is a die off but the symptoms are different to those I

have experienced in previous die offs. As I say I have been following the SCD

strictly for a year and three months and had die offs at roughly 3 month

intervals.

Currently my symptoms are:

- A temperature and hot skin that seems to come and go

- Urgent D with bright red B (I hadn't seen any B for about 2 months previous)

- Fatigue

- Stomach cramps

I understand that these can be symptoms of a UC flare but i've never experienced

this before.

It just strikes me as odd that the UC would come back after I have been on the

diet for so long. I am considering getting back on the pred but it has been a

year since I have used it so i'm reluctant to go back there.

What I was thinking was that it could be some really stubborn bacteria that are

kicking up a stink and the other side of this flare could be a real

breakthrough.

I was wondering if anyone had had a bad flare-up/die-off this far into the diet

or could give me any advice on what to do. I don't think i've been this ill with

the UC since it first started up 6 years ago.

Thanks,

Mike
