Back to SCD and Intro Diet

[Guest guest]

My wife has some auto-immune tendancies, with Reynods and severe IBD...We put

her on the SCD 5 years back. She followed the diet rigorously for 2 years,

completly regaining her health, and remission of her Reynods and IBD. We

gradually re-introduced ALL foods, and she ate normally for 3 years following.

It was amazing. Just as proclaimed! She has recently come off her second

pregnancy and nursing, and she was hit like a truck. She began showing signs of

high gas in Dec, and by Mid Jan was bleeding, had internally observed mucus, D*

four to ten times daily. We have been back on the diet for almost 2 months,

although we skipped the intro diet thinking that if we hit it early, we could

nip the problem quickly. She has shown no improvment. Obviously, we have

resorted to the intro diet to see if this will help, but are only 1 to 2 days

in. Most see improvement within a month, how many don't see an improvement in

2? I'm concluding the intro is extremely important not matter how quickly you

hit the diet; we recognized the problem quicker than most, and hit the diet

right away. We had such great success the first go around, but her condition

has never been this bad. I'm confident we will get there, but have others taken

so long to show improvement? It must be that no matter how quickly you observe

the problem, the intro diet is a must? How reliable is the intro diet in

killing flare ups for those already on the diet...have others tried the diet for

a month or two without the intro and failed?
