Re: 2 things here....

Hi, I don't use tomato juice, so I don't know about this one. I do know

that SCD is a long term process and slow. It took me quite a while before I

stopped having loose and frequent BMs. I kept a diary and it was up and down

with a general trend of decreasing frequency over time, and those first

" trophy " 's ( formed stools ) were a big deal.

It will get better. 2 weeks is very early.Hang in there.

but, I wonder about the SCD and is it suppose to stop all loose bm's ? He has

completed 2 wks on diet now, and in day time hes still going sometimes 3 times

in daytime one sm a night. Sometimes its 4 in daytime and 1 or 2 in middle of

night. Compared to Before SCD much much worse. But if he is still having this

many as I stated is it most likely something he's eating on SCD?

I'm paying forward the help I got from this board when I stood in my kitchen

trying to figure this all out and cried many many times. Your husband is so

blessed to have a supportive wife like you. What seems like crazy cooking does

become second nature over time, and is much simpler once he can enjoy foods like

broiled meat and steamed veggies that take no time at all.

Here is something I tolerated early on. Take an acorn squash, cut in half and

remove the seeds. Cover with olive oil and add salt and place face down on a

baking sheet and cook at 400 degrees until soft ( 20-30 minutes). Eat with

butter and add honey if you like. My kids love these. You can add cinnamon and

nutmeg to make it taste like pumpkin pie filling too.

I hope that your husband feels better soon. This is stressful. Don't forget to

do something for you: take a long bath, rent a movie, get your nails done, go

out to lunch with a friend..

I meant to add, not necessarily. He needs time to heal. As long as things keep

moving in the right direction

generally then don't sweat things like this. Positive change can be very

gradual and will occur over time.

One day he'll realize his general level has been better for a while, etc.

Also, 1-3 times a day is considered normal for all people by medical science,

not just UC people.

So if he is down to 4 times a day already, that is not bad at all.
