In A Mild Flare

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd report that I am in a mild flare. I think it's due to stress.

Even though I have been off meds and have introduced non SCD food at times into

my diet, I am basically mostly SCD.

I have the most minute dilute spotting of blood and slightly looser stools with

slight intestinal discomfort before BM.

As many of you know, I only had mild UC limited to the procto-sigmoid area.

My stress has been pretty intense: I have been in the process for the last 2

months of buying the dental practice where I have associated for the last 22

years, and I drove 6 hours roundtrip down to Darien, CT

for an incredible MD who diagnosed my son with PANDAS. This is very

positive....I have been trying to get him diagnosed for the last 2 years and

now, finally, we can get treatment. This doctor is phenomenal. And finally,

after 19 months in court with my ex--he has withdrawn his motion to reduce his

child support. All positive things, but they have been stressful.

I have to apologize to some members who emailed me off list about CHL issues. I

have had and I have no time to answer. I will try to in the future, if you still

want me to.

So, I am eating yogurt and my chicken bone broth for a day and then I'll add

some protein into my soup and go from there.

I post this so newbies can see that you can go into remission and have healing

and still get a flare from stress. The good news is I always knew it might

happen and I knew I had the tools ( SCD) to handle any flare. I also restarted

my Lialda and LDN which I haven't taken for close to a year.

Even nicer, if I need any advice I know where to turn!
