I looked over the list of foods you're currently eating and the one thing that

stuck out as a potential cause of D is the eggs you're consuming. My son, who

had all the symptoms of crohn's -could not touch them at the start. When he

began the intro diet 18 months ago he stayed on it for 6 weeks (at the time he

was under the incorrect impression that he could not move forward with adding

new foods until all his symptoms had disappeared) and was at the point where he

felt SCD was not going to work for him. As a last resort, he removed eggs from

his diet and within a week he was having formed BM's for the first time in 6

years. At 18 months into SCD he can tolerate small amounts of eggs and cheese

but cannot overdo either without the D returning. It always seems to take

approximately a week to clear, as well, if he does over-consume either.

Everyone is different but after seeing the dramatic turn around here, removing

eggs from your diet is certainly worth a try.
