Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi , SCD helps with a myriad digestive and IBD issues. It is a healthy diet, just one that needs very strict adherence to. I would suggest you give it a try for at least a month to see if you notice ANY improvements in your symptoms. Then decide if you would like to continue with the diet or not.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 For anyone without insurance, if you contact the makers of the meds directly, they can sometimes provide discounts/coupons, etc. > > Also, unfortunately, my student health insurance expired (I graduated) and I currently have no health insurance. The prescription I was taking, Entocort EC, is over $1,000 per month without insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Why were you on and off of SCD? It won't work unless you are on it 100%. And being on it 100% is very tricky. It took me many weeks of trial and error to get it right. I kept finding that some of the stuff I was eating was not legal even though I thought it was. This was especially the case with supplements, spices, and other complimentary stuff that is very easy to overlook. I still make mistakes from time to time and my body quickly lets me know about it!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I just wanted to mention that you need to taper off entocort, just like prednisone. That's probably one of the reasons you're in a tailspin.

I've been off and on with SCD, and have tried other things as well (Primal, Paleo, Guts and Glory, etc.) but have been having major problems lately. > > Also, unfortunately, my student health insurance expired (I graduated) and I currently have no health insurance. The prescription I was taking, Entocort EC, is over $1,000 per month without insurance. I've tried ordering the " Budez CR " generic from Sun Pharma in India but I believe that's what sent me into this tailspin. > > I was finally able to find a new GI in my area (I recently moved) that will take cash patients (amazingly, and frustratingly, most will only accept new patients with insurance!!) My appointment isn't until early November. I think I may have to try a new medication. I'm not sure if the Entocort was working that well, anyway. I've been on it at the full dose (9mg per day) for 6 months. > > Does anyone here happen to have Microscopic Colitis, and if so, have you had success with SCD? Are you on any medications, and if so, which ones have seemed to help you? > > Thanks so much! > > Desperate, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
