was the asacol for 5 days your docs instructions? Asacol usually takes a few days just to start working...I think most people get worse on intro for the first few days, and then slowly better then worse then better ect. 2 steps forward 1.5 backwards.

Can someone get worse on the intro? I've been doing the intro for two days and I still can't go to the bathroom. And last night a little bit of mucus came out. I have some canasa in suppository form and I wonder if I should take them to calm down my gut. I'm also taking asacol but only for 5 days. Any thoughts? I was thinking maybe I need the intro for another day?

On Christmas eve I was told what I have-uc. My doc said " take your medicine and

eat what you want " . Huh? That makes no sense. I've been trying to figure this

out through food and waivered btw having some soaked grains (oatmeal and barley)

and then thinking that was wrong (just from reading through the scd sites. My

doc initially gave me the asaco (6/day) and suppoitories. I didn't trust him

because be also told me " stop doing research because it has already been done "

Oy. So here I am starting at the beginning bc I didn't know about the phases.

Truly day 3. I am just worried bc I don't have insurance But I'm a very

determined person I think I needed reassurance that I'm not doing harm. Thanks

I was told the same thing. Eat what you want. I do not understand the resistance

to diet changes. I too felt like I was out on a limb here without support from

my GI doc. I would not even want to discuss this with him.

My attitude starting SCD was that I had nothing to lose and everything to gain

from trying it, I'm in my 10th month. It's a long slow process to feeling

better, but thankfully I do feel much better.

I remember being afraid at first too, but it's a healthy diet and I do not

believe it does any harm, and can do a world of good. Starting out is a big

change, but you get used to it and the cooking gets easier with practice.

Thanks

The phases didn't exist when I started SCD.

While they're a helpful guide, I think they can be unnecessarily

limiting. <g> My cheese cake didn't turn out very well,

either. I didn't tolerate the cooked carrots at all. And I was

feeling too lousy to fiddle with it and figure out why. I ate two kinds

of roast, steamed zucchini, and soft boiled eggs I tolerated eggs, which

are usually counter-indicated in brisk diarrhea) from the

beginning.
