Frustrated with SCD

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm new to the group, but have been on the diet for 5 months, since my remicade

infusions lost their efficacy for me. At first the diet really helped; I felt

much better and had more regularity and almost no blood. I never did the intro

diet, but since I wasn't severely sick at the time I figured that would be ok.

I also never did the yogurt since I can't do milk products. I recently tried

Friendship Farmer's cheese and that wasn't good. Other than these things, I

stayed on the diet religiously. The last few months though, I have been getting

worse and now I have stomach aches and blood often, though no diarrhea. I'm

still getting the remicade infusions.

I thought of a few changes: a few weeks ago I did the intro diet for 3 days and

that helped a little with the stomach aches, but the blood never really went

away. Also, I just ordered some SCDophilus from GI pro health.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have been keeping a detailed food journal

from the start. Any advice? Have other people struggled with this kind of

problem?

Thanks,

GIJoe
