Please, I need success stories from people who have Ulcerative Colitis/Proctitis

[Guest guest]

Dear Helen:

My children and I are on SCD. I started the diet first because I had UC. I was

having painful cramping attacks every thursday and Friday before starting the

diet. These attacks would be followed with vomiting and severe diarrhia, the

process would take a couple of hours and then I would be exhausted for the next

24 hours or so. I started SCD on Saturday and by that Thursday and Friday, I

had my attack but without the terrible pain (in my mind a miracle). Can't

remember exactly but by 3 months, the once of week spasms of my colon ceased.

Make sure to stick with the chicken soup, cooked veggies and cooked fruit, he

will heal faster. If you can't, it will take longer to heal. Another helpful

book is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I used this book so much for SCD

recipes. There are alot of recipes that are nonSCD so I adapt them. The book

has incredible information on cooking vegetables and fermented foods. It has

really helped increase my variety of foods and inspired me to keep going on the

diet. I hope this helps. Eileen Brown
