We've embarked on a new form of therapy for Cyrus' Crohn's disease: the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. We're in the first couple of days of the diet and are very overwhelmed. We need to persevere though if it is to have any benefit... otherwise we will be back at Children's where they serve up one nasty drug after another. We have not been back for the "what's next" follow up visit since Cyrus' overnight stay. We've been avoiding it and wanting to see how things would go without the meds. Symptoms are back and we're now desperate. The SCD diet has the highest (anecdotal) rate of success of all therapies, but requires a moderate to large diet adjustment. For an adult, no big deal... For a three year-old... big deal!
I'll report our trials and tribulations here - wish us luck...

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf you need any help with the diet, please feel free to visit my blog at www.comfytummy.com. I have lots of helpful resources. I've been on the SCD to treat colitis and have been very successful with it. Lots of luck and all the best to you.
Thanks -- we've visited your website previously and have continued to do so. We're going for the SCD diet, with the blessing of our son's GI doc.
ReplyDeleteBTW - what soy sauce is SCD legal? We liked your salmon recipe but were under the impression that soy sauce was illegal. Haven't found one yet that is... they all contain wheat and soy!
Thanks again for your thoughts...
