RE: Re: After the intro diet

[Guest guest]

,Not consistantly throughout the entire year, but on an off again. There are so many variables, getting sick, taking other meds, ect. This last time I got something like strep throat, had to take antibiotics, and that set off a major flare. So, back on more meds and starting from square one again on the diet. Everyone is different though. Some people get better very fast, while others have been on the diet for 4 years and still have problems. My time will come, and if it doesn't... at least I tried and gave it my all.-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: adamssoft@...Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 14:31:31 -0800Subject: Re: Re: After the intro diet

Thanks, . Are you saying you still have D after almost a year? No solid BMs?On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 5:15 PM, T <scdguy26 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote:

PJ covered just about everything for ya. In my opinion, starting out is the hardest, so rest assured it only gets easier from here on out. It takes what seems like forever but eventually you'll learn what foods you can/can't eat. Later on as you heal you can always bring back some of the "can't" foods. I've been on the diet almost a year and I still have setbacks. It's going to be 2 steps forwards and then 1.9 setps backwards. Very frustrating, but keep with it because eventually you'll be all better

I still have D, blood, everything I had before but it goes away much quicker than it ever did with the use of meds for a short time. So, I keep chugging along! If you have problems with the yogurt, try dripping it and eating it that way. It's thicker, creamier, and gets rid of the "whey" which is the liquid part after you ferment it. What's left will be almost pure casein. a great source of protein! I eat it after the gym.

Good luck!-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD

Understood. Thanks for the advice. I am OK with moving slow as long as it means there is some small level of variety. The intro diet is very specific about what foods to eat. My DW has made a wonderful chicken soup which I have been eating on for the last three days and I will have no problems eating it at least once/day. I'm having some trouble locating DCCC in my area. Might have to place an online order...

My main concern right now is: what do I do at the end of that period if I still have D? I believe I understand from all my reading and research that the intro diet is not meant to go beyond the five days. What do I eat past that point? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated? Has anyone else had D past the five day point? THANKS!
