Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Marilyn- Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions about my sister. Her biggest struggle is that first diet of only broth, chicken, etc. She gets weak and mentally discouraged. She also did not tolerate yogurt or the cottage cheese....maybe lactose intolerant??? Maybe she needs goats milk instead. Is there anything else in the beginning to keep you feeling stronger that she could do? Nikki She has tried it a couple of times with some improvement but can't stick with it because of the difficulty. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone out there gone into remission by this diet. Please share!!! Any advice would be helpful.Well, hurricanes are on my mind, it being hurricane season. First off, tell your sister that if I can manage to stay 100% SCD during two different hurricane evacuations (Katrina and Gustav) AND do SCD out of a 4 cu ft dorm fridge with variable electricity and the nearest grocery store 50 miles away for six months after Katrina, she can surely do it with the resources of functioning grocery stores, a full functioning kitchen, and the help of her family.Second, yes, people can and do go into remission. The lady who was my mentor on SCD was told she needed immediate surgery because her gut looked like bloody lace. She chose SCD instead. After 14 months of fanatical adherence, she had another colonoscopy -- and the doc said if he hadn't diagnosed her himself he wouldn't have believed she was the same patient. Because all her lesions had healed.She's just one example.What does your sister find difficult about the diet?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 That is just for two days, though. And if there are things she can't tolerate, than she can change theintro diet up. Add some very well cooked and soft veggies instead. And eat beef as well chicken. Maybe get some help with the initialcooking and prep work from you and your mom if she is feeling weak.
