After 25 years I have found the key of success for me and it may help you. Id love you to have an easier time than I had so you can call me - I am not an expert but someone who benefited from another person who healed their colitis supporting me - what a gift. And now I eat whatever I want - but I did follow the diet closely to get well. I had been saying I i had tried the SCD diet and it only worked a little for me, but online I found someone who actually had successfully followed the diet (I had never had a GI doctor who was knowledgeable on how to follow it - just said it worked for some not for others) and learned that I had to have the yogurt maker and I couldnt cheat at all. I got better! I went from a bout of going to the bathroom constantly including while i was trying to eat (bleeding etc) to seven weeks later being completely clear. I had never had the support of someone to call after 3 weeks and say, "I am not at all better, why?" And Lucy from Lucys kitchen said,"It could take a while stay with it and dont cheat, it is a healthy diet." And I got completely healed. Now I still eat the special yogurt for the healthy bacteria but I eat whatever else I want including sugar etc, and if I feel the colitis coming on, Ill eat more carefully. I likely should follow the diet but I have a sweet tooth and love eating yummy things, but overall I am a healthy person and I prefer more of an organic vegetarian diet and not eating too many animals (and those I do eat are free range) and the upside is maybe that is why I look so young for my age (Im 46). In the past things that have helped tremendously have been food allergy testing, acupuncture, ozone therapy, pharmaceutical suppositories but nothing as cheap and as effective as the free SCD diet. I found a way to put myself out to support others, and I just met somone via email who had been sick for 6 months and getting sicker with harsh drugs being recommended by his doctor and he was feeling so badly I remember that place and it is so hard). He decided to try the diet and it wasnt easy for him, but after 3 weeks on the diet had his first good day in months and was amazed and now is healthy. I didnt know if it would work for him or you, but why not try - it is a healthier diet than most people eat and it is a shot at a pharmaceutical free life. So if I can be of some support to you like I was supported as why not try it, it is free and it can give you a new life if it works! I am also happy to support parents as I am a mother too and have an interest in nutrition. Kindest Regards, (604)873-3586 Vancouver Canada
