Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks! The no more crohn's website is fantastic! I just wish we could have dairy - it would definitely make it easier. I'm going on the SCD to give my son moral support, but I'm also hoping that it will get rid of my psoriasis. It's the only problem that I still have after being on a restricted (gluten, dairy, soy free) diet for years. I used to have IBS (suffered for years) and developed debilitating arthritis after the birth of this same son. (Somehow, this is ironic to me.) For an entire year I ate NOTHING besides fish, rice, sunflower seeds, most fruits and some vegetables (no nightshades). I could have small amounts of corn after about 6 months and some rice milk to go on rice cereal and that was all I ate. All of my health problems (even ones I hadn't really noticed) went away. I slowly added some things back, but stayed gluten, dairy, soy and egg free for several years. When I tried adding spelt, I developed a kidney disease. It went into remission when I went back to fanatically gluten free. I've stayed soy free and mostly dairy free (butter and small amounts of goat or sheep milk cheese) and I was able to add eggs back about 1-1/2 years ago. Thank goodness for this! Anyway, a long way to say that I am experienced with restricted diets. There's a learning curve for this one, but I'm seeing that it's do-able and I already cook a lot of similar main dishes. The real challenge will be during basketball season when I'm teaching full time and coaching a HS girls' team. I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff in the freezer ahead of time. > Hi Liz, Very wonderful that you are going on the SCD along with your son. > Welcome to your new life!
