Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 hello, i am new here and will try to introduce myself with all info i can think of at the moment. i've been ill since around january, which is 2 months after i gave birth. the D and urgency didn't start out very bad at the begining, but i have been in my house almost every day for the last 2 months. about 6 weeks ago my dr. finally tested me for parasites, found one type and took flagyl to kill that. but the flagyl made me feel terrible. i still took the meds the whole time to make sure the thing was dead. and then after i stopped the meds i still felt bad and D was worse than before meds. so on to the GI specialist. more tests showed that the parasite is dead. did the sigmoidoscopy which showed signs of u.c. he did biopsies to confirm and i will get those results back tomorrow. those will also be more accurate tests so we can be sure the parasite is dead. so after hearing " possible u.c. " and not having any idea what it is, i of course search and search online and find out about all the drugs used to " help " the disease. mainly because i am still breastfeeding and want to know about safety for baby. and then finally i stumbled across the scd, and stuck to it strictly yesterday. (chicken soup, boiled eggs, banana). but i haven't been able to make the yogurt yet. i will be making it later today. and the book BTVC is on it's way. i am still losing weight and am concerned about that... and this morning i woke up feeling very weak in all my muscles. like they are all tired. this also concerns me. i was wondering if anyone knows if the weakness is normal while getting used to no bad carbs? thank you in advance for any info! aloha, heather u.c... maybe. day 2 of scd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
