SCD Diet - Days 17-22

Day 17 - Wed
Breakfast - 2 x SCD Raspberry Muffin
Lunch
- Chicken, cucumber, cheese

Dessert - Fruit salad (Melon, strawberry, kiwi fruit, pears), Green Tea

Bowel Movements - 1 - More than normal M with a very very small bit of B mixed in.

Weight - 62.2 kgs(136.8lb s)

Other - Today is my last day on 10mg Pred..yeah..I'm happy about that and happy that I'm finally going to drop another 5 mgs tomorrow. Today I realised that over the last week there has been a lot less rumblings and gurgles int he stomach / intestine areas...hopefully that's a good thing. OK, confusion time ... I cheated today with a 2cm x 2cm piece of biscuit...chocolate, toffee & biscuit bottom... I couldn't help myself, it was calling to me...anyway I ate it and liked it (not loved it mind you!) and washed a glass of water down with it. I will try not to do that again.

Day 18 - Thur
Breakfast - Banana
Lunch - SCD Muffin
Dinner - Chicken, Cucumber, Cheddar Cheese
Dessert - SCD Biscuit

Vitamins - Magnesium with Folic acid and Vit D (combo 1 tablet)

Weight - 62.1 kgs(136.6lb s)

Other - Felt sick all day and I'm beginning to wonder is the almond powder is causing a problem. I'll persist for another few days and see if anything changes. Initially I thought it was because of the whole diet. The problem I have with almond flour is that we're not supposed to eat nuts as it can irritate the colon itself...it's hard to know...one group says one thing, another group says the opposite and mean while, I'm stuck in the middle trying to fix myself.

Day 19 - Fri

Other - At dinner time I was so hungry that I felt the need to eat potatoes. Totally fell off the SCD diet. Had an achy stomach all night...I'm not feeling very happy at this moment. I seem to have been in this flare-up for ever. I only got relief from the symptoms in Dec when I went back on the Preds. Since Feb though I've been back in a mild flare-up even though I was still at 30mgs Pred.

As the day went on though, I felt normal, but it is disheartening to see more and more blood.

Other - Yikes, today was not a nice day. Every time I ate things just went through me and I had to rush to the bathroom. I can only assume that have illegals on the weekend, have caused this problem. It felt like the bad old days...little or no notice and one accident. Not happy with myself. Thankfully I was at home most of the day when the urges came. I could have handled an hours round trip to school to pick the kids up otherwise.

Thoughts / Problems on SCD diet
  • Days 19 & 20 saw me totalling blowing the SCD Diet. I'm not sure what was going on in my mind, but I'd had enough of the diet and digressed. I'm assuming that loads of people feel the same thing, but I acted on my hunger and cravings this time.
  • Day 21 - I'm changing back to Salofalk to see if I can see any changes.
  • I seems to feel a lot more angrier these days. Is that the diet or is that just UC? I don't remember being so angry so much of the time before UC. Maybe it was the anger that gave me UC....yes, I've been reading "How to Heal yourself" again...oh, just to be happy with life eh? Now wouldn't that be nice or would I still me mad about something or rather
  • I'm back on the SCD Diet again and I'm trying to be good.
