starting out

[Guest guest]

I am just starting out on this diet

I was diagnosed with UC 20 years ago and was in remission

This year it came back with a vengance....I have gone thru

several test and the doctor thinks I was misdiagnosed years

ago and that I have Crohn's Disease.

I was taking asacol which helped for about 2 weeks

and then they put me on prednisone that helped but once off the prednisone the

symptoms came back with a vengance. The doctor took me off asacol and now I am

back on predniose.

I currently feel great(except for the side affect of the pred.)

I have done the starter part of this diet for the past 2 days. It says to stay

on it until diarhea gets better...since I am not dealing with that would it be

safe for me to add other foods??? and what can you add at first???does it need

to be one food at a time???

Would love to figure some new foods out before starting back at work on Tuesday.

I love salads and fruits just don't know how quickly I can add them. I would

love to get off this prednisone asap... I am currently taking 10 mg down from 40

to start...would like to taper off to zero..

I would still go slowly. Fresh fruit and salads may be too rough on the system.

Have you seen the pecanbread.com stages? They area good guide. It is a website

for kids with ASD and they don't use cow's milk, but you can have legal SCD

yogurt and cheeses. One reason for problems on SCD is advancing too fast. For

work, I would try sliced chicken, beef, and some cooked fruits and vegetables to

start with. If you are OK with eggs, hard boiled eggs are good too.
