Aspirin, however, is also a killer for anybody with Crohn's. It irritates the heck out of the gut. That is surely compounding the issue. It'll pass but in the meantime it's difficult, I know.Are you using the yogurt? S. boulardii? Acidophilus on its own? Drinking a lot (water) to flush out your system? n ______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi , I had my first flare / die off about 2 months in too. Still don't know which one of the two it was. The way I got out of it was that I went back on the SCD intro for a few days and then stuck to stage 1 foods (see http://pecanbread.com/p/how/stages.html). It took me a little over 2 weeks to get out of it. Sorry you're dealing with this. But I do want you to know that sticking with SCD through that flare was the first time I've had a flare stop without serious medical intervention. - Raj SCD 1/2010 UC 3+ years My SCD recipe blog: www.flipcookbook.com > > I am doing so bad right now. Just started this week. Bad D and bad gas. Bad pains in my gut too. I have Crohn's and have been on SCD since 4/1/10. What do you think could be the cause? I haven't eaten anything illegal that I can think of other than taking some headache medicine earlier in the week. I know I shouldn't have aspirin but my head was pounding and I took 4 pills over the course of two days. Or could this be a die off? Could I have the 3 month flare early? This is one of the worst flares I have ever had. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
