KW- Advisable as an occassional meal only! I think that the less processed the better. Comfytummy site has some very good recipes. I was just drooling over the hoppin' john. Check her site out. Lots of good stuff. I have a bunch of meal ideas and recipes I need to post. Wendy

I love Applegate Farms! They have some wonderful products. I don't bother with trying to make a bun. Dog, chili, condiments and a side of slaw is the way I go! May run to the store and have that tonight. The ingredients in Applegate Farms Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs are: Organic Beef...

noguts...The chicken soup in the intro to SCD gave me problems. I had to make sure to skin the chicken. I pretty much just use veggie broth now. I cook my chicken and throw out the broth, debone, add to veggie broth (cook carrots in broth) and it works for me. Also, I do not do well with the...

kiny, I have been thinking along those lines myself. I think the success of SCD, Paleo, etc, is from the fact that it is all minimally processed foods. I also think that a number of IBDers have sensitivies to wheat (GMO!!!). I personally do best when I cook at home. Now, where did I put...

Hugh, thank you for posting about Alan's death. He was a very special person and he really wanted to help people. Wendy

Just to clarify a point- Quinoa is not a grain. It is actually a seed but it's appearance is grain like. Quinoa has more Omega 3 than Flax. Also, the problem with grains is the processing. Look at wheat in the field and then at bleached flour. I personally do my best to stay away from...

Kashi is a decent granola bar. I buy granola (gluten free) and snack on it. No problems. I have even found a chocolate peanut butter gluten free granola. Yummy!

Well, mashed potatoes are my ultimate comfort food... guess I will mash sweet potatoes or cauliflower instead....I just have to figure out how to get my cauliflower smooth and creamy! When I eat low starch veggies, fruit, and free range, grass feed, wild caught proteins - I feel so much...

I take 1500mgs of Boswella if I am inflamed per day otherwise I maintain at 500mg a day. I had to play around with it to find my optimal dosage. The past couple of months I have not had to up the dosage to 1500mg. I am currently investigating Marshmallow root. I have not tried it yet. I am...

This is what I have discovered- Gluten free is good and it relieves my bloating and some of my aches. I am going one step further and I am food combining. When I am faithful to the rules, life is much better. Last night I was not and I am paying for it today. I try to eat with a whole food...

Ravensfan88- Beware of the Oreo! Oreos cause me to have some very dark bms. I have no pain with them just the "oh no I am bleeding internally" scare in the bathroom. The "traditional" rotisserie chickens in the grocery store are safe for me. Tacos or fajitas are okay depending on what is...

JON3S- My diet consists of veggies, fruits, and meat/fish/poultry/beans. Nuts are a go to snack (never peanuts). I eat rice, oatmeal, and potatos occassionally. I eat dairy rarely. I do not eat any wheat. It has taken me several years to get where I am now. I had to combine diet, exercise...

I am in remission without meds. Life is really good. I take yoga classes and I am going to run a 5k this fall. Now to motivate myself to train! There is pain and the dreaded d when I eat certain things. Processed foods are a killer for me. This passes quickly and the pain is not severe...

KL- The supplements are high quality and the labels are accurate. An independent lab (I personally know the owner) has tested them. It is one of the few lines of supplements he will reccomend. I take the probiotics.

Yes, I am in total remission, and I still get some pain. Some doctors call it functional pain and others lump it into IBS pain. Sometimes it is a gas bubble and it will feel like a flutter or the first kicks of a baby in utero. So glad you are enjoying life. Isn't it amazing to work and...

No drugs! Just diet, stress relief, and natural supplements. I have been drug free most of the time. I had to do pred. in 2008 and I gave 6mp a whirl. 6mp made me worse. No drugs since 2009. I am in remission. Yay! I did not go into remission until I changed how I eat. Not always easy...

Breakfast- Oatmeal and fruit Snack - GF granola, almonds, and a date Lunch- Hamburger Steak dressed as if it had a bun and a small green salad. Dinner- Meatloaf, mashed potatos, and veggies.

Gooooo cocks! I am from the upstate of the great state of South Carolina. Happy to see other Carolinians on board. You two may have just given me the excuse to come to Charleston. I have family there and I adore the area. Wendy

Been there...last night...quick food needed... Wendy's Bacon Cheeseburger Jr. Up and down all night. Better today. SarahAnne is spot on- soft, easy to digest foods for a few days. I take jello, bananas, oatmeal, soup, and juice to the office with me on such days. Sometimes I will just...

Brie- I love the Maker's Diet. I am not as good about it as I used to be and I am paying for it. Wendy
