Blueberries and bowel disease

July 13, 2010

My mom's a blueberry producer. Since a was born (or at least since I was able to

eat solid food), I've eaten loads and loads of blueberries. During the season,

the are like a drug to me

When I started SCD and read that we would have to be very cautious with berries,

I was like, " Oh my god, i'll never be able to behave " . Of course, temptation was

too hard and because I have a poor self-control, i ate a lot a them during the

last week.

Well the catastrophe I was expecting (lots of gut pain, diarrhea, blood...)

didn't happen. Actually, my bowel movement that were still a bit loose, mushy

beforehand are now almost perfectly normal. I'm totally amazed.

There is a lot of infos on the web about the protective role of blueberries

against colitis and cronhs. Eaten with yogourt, it seems they could really

reduce inflammation.

So far so good to me... just tought i would share my experience.
