I have been reading a lot of articles about SCD. I often heard people saying elimination of starch is the key. HOwever, I bumped into this article today: http://www.drmcdougall.com/med_colitis2.html Not sure if anybody heard about this before. Although SCD works for some people, it doesn't work...

Just wanted to report back since almost 2 months have passed. Unfortunately it's still almost the same. For me this is the longest "issue period" since in the last 5 years, the "symptoms" normally come and go within 1-2 weeks max and I would feel pretty much normal after that. Due to the fact...

I have heard so many ppl talking about the huge side effects of crohn's drugs. Things like SSI might be a good alternative to consider if the side effect really becomes an issue...

I just saw this news: http://globalnews.ca/news/606100/new-clinical-trial-for-Crohn's-disease/ The theory of "too clean environment" made some sense to me. I immigrated to Canada about 10 years ago from China and I started developing bowl issue 6-7 years ago. The environmental difference is...

I was browsing this website and found it quite informative and motivating for us crohn's patients: http://scdlifestyle.tv/ Just thought I would paste it in case it's useful for other people. HOpefully I pasted it in the right place in the forum.

Thanks. It shouldn't since I am not on any medicine other than a suppository I used at night. I was still experimenting with my breakfast and trying to keep a diary. It's been very interesting so far. No D with just avocado and green tea. I switched team to rice congee and got a D and then...

Thanks for the suggestion. more frequent smaller meals is definitely my goal. The pattern detection is hard. It seems the knowledge of the pattern is extremely important when you feel the tummy is about or already in the flare-up. what's bothering me is when in remission, I often doubt if what...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have been trying to eat a very simple breakfast. Has been good for a few days. I think people are right here: it might be some food not related to breakfast or might just be the intestine is weak during flare-up so it could react to something I am probably fine...

I was firstly diagnosed as Proctitis in 2007 but confirmed to be crohn's in 2011. My flare-up normally is once every a few months and typically it's been some sense of discomfort (or low degree cramp) in abdomen and occasional diarrhea. I haven't been on any medication other than the suppository...

Thanks a bunch! Probably it's just me but I do feel scared a bit when a flare up like this happened. It makes me feel I am losing control of life and future becomes really unknown... I guess mentally I am just not tough enough. It somehow also makes me feel "lonely" even though I am accompanied...

Hi everyone, I am a new member here (37 years old) :) I started the journey of digestive system issue in 2007 when out of no where I found my stool had blood! I freaked out and after a while finally I was diagnosed with ulcerative spondilitis (basically a mild form of UC). Ever since then, my...
