Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Wow, ... this is great. I'd have to say this is not the first time I've read of a very fast effect and such huge changes.... but no, it's not really the usual thing around here. It's amazing.... but you can never really know how he was feeling before. He may have just gotten used to being in pain all the time and that was really clouding everything. Feeling good tends to make a person really perk up! And yes, SCD *can* relieve pain that quickly for some. I remember one SCD mom reporting that her very verbal 7-yr-old daughter told her one day.. " MOMMY! My tummy stopped hurting! I though it was supposed to hurt! " Turns out she had pretty much gotten used to ALWAYS being in pain. She couldn't remember a time when her tummy didn't hurt.... EVER. Kids are so incredible in what they'll accept as " normal " for them sometimes. I'll stop short of saying " Don't look a gift horse in the mouth " ! But... do try to enjoy it. You probably feel like pinching yourself to see if it's just a dream! Hope it continues to just get better and better. Patti 4th day into diet Good afternoon, We are the 4th day into the diet. My son is 10 yrs old and diagnosed with Crohn's (a year ago). Today, I noticed this HUGE difference with him getting up from bed, getting himself dressed (without ANY hassle - normally it is a fight to simply get him out of bed) and getting downstairs. He literally ate his breakfast (scrambled eggs) in about 10 minutes (again, this is VERY abnormal). He did exactly what he needed to do in order to get out of the house. In fact, he had 15 minutes left over from the time we needed to leave. When I picked him up from school he immediately asked if he could have some chicken strips or some other type of snack. Is it normal to see this type of result this quickly? I never thought the diet would actually improve this type of behavior. He usually never wanted to sit down to eat. He has always been VERY slow at eating (and for that matter everything he does). I don't know what to think - is this the diet?? Thank you for your help!
