I figured I'd give an update on me and my current health. I know this really helps newbies and those who are thinking of starting SCD. I read these stories often when I started for motivation!<br /><br />A little background: I have Crohns disease. I started with symptoms over 10 years ago and honestly can remember "tummy issues" even as a child. When I was a kid, they really just wrote it off as being a milk intolerance though. In my 20s, I battled with chronic stomach pain, indigestion, constipation which later turned into d, and numerous hospital visits. I had 3 colonoscopies and all 3 doctors wrote me off as IBS and sent me packing with pills. I tried Atkins at one point to just lose some weight and found it actually helped my issues. I did a little digging at the time and decided to go gluten free. While it helped my symptoms, it didn't eradicate the issues I was having. In 2008, I had a terrible flare that landed me in the hospital and finally got the diagnoses of Crohns from a CT scan. I cried-at least I had an answer. I had had doctors over the years basically tell me I was nuts, prescribed me numerous anti-depressant meds and had even been referred to a pain management clinic..sigh. I was put on Pentasa and did ok until 2010 when I had my daughter. I was so sick after her that I literally could not even take care of her plus I was recovering from a c-section-not a good combo. <br /><br />I started researching right away! I went to the CCFA forums (scary..lol) but that's where I first read about SCD. At the same time, unbeknown to me, my aunt had ordered me the book and it arrived a few days later. I read BTVC and was sold..I started the next day!<br /><br />While I can't say I had amazing results in the first 2 months, I could tell a difference. I added s.boulardii and the d stopped! Yay!! I've tinkered with some things over the past year to make SCD work for me. I make the soup every week and eat it as a snack..it's such a great healing soup and really helps battle inflammation. I also went high protein/low carb for a while during one of my 3 month flares which pulled me right out! I cut out fruit for a while to battle candida and I'm definitely still low fruit to control that;) Candida is pretty tough to battle-I've switched up antifungals every 2 weeks. It was worth every effort.<br /><br />And here I am a year later! I'm med free except LDN which I added about 5 weeks ago. It's helped with some other issues I have and honestly my gut feels a bit stronger from it. I'm not running to a bathroom everyday and I finally feel free from the gut issues that have plagued me for so long. I still have a ways to go but I know my life will always have SCD in. Thank you to everyone here for your unending guidance in my journey. I may not post often (chasing after 2 kids!) but I'm typically reading. I also run an SCD support group on facebook. I started that because I was already an admin on a Crohns/colitis page and the need was there. I'm trying to pay it forward in any way I can;)<br /><br />My advice to newbies: stick with it! Adjust SCD and tailor it to you! Don't do any illegals-you will pay for it and the price is high. It can be easy to fall off the wagon. I did not but that's because my quest to get better consumed me more than a craving for chocolate. That craving will pass anyways;) <br /><br />In good health,<br />-Tiffany-Tiffanyhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/SCD-Support-Group/130833110312758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544049330412219671.post-4578383412510323842011-06-10T22:35:53.595-04:002011-06-10T22:35:53.595-04:00Allie,
