I have been filled with hope when I thought I had come to the end of the road. My daughter (21 yrs.) has battled with UC for the last 4 yrs. Now, we feel we have some ammunition to swing the battle in our favor. She will be starting the diet soon. I believe this is our answer.

A friend emailed me and I recently joined a web site
because I have a special health condition. I was in the SCD Web Library
guestbook and I thought I'd take a moment to email you as well. The
name of the website is called BigHeart.com www.bigheart.com.
The website allows people to find the exact match of a person facing
the same health condition within a protective environment. It is a place
where people can identify others with whom they want to develop a supportive
relationship. Because you have already registered with this site, I
thought you might like to know.

confused as Dr Weil (Better Health throug natural healing) recommends the

years, and now he's on the SCD. We're still learning how to follow it, find
products, and read labels. I signed up for the newsletter but haven't received
anything yet. Is this how I ask a question about the diet? Thanks for letting

- Diagnosed '86. Self-imposed diet (similar). 5 years later, Dr. says probably
a misdiagnosis (CD doesn't just "go away"). I forgot about it. A lot
of pain now. Hmmm. My aunt thinks I "cured" myself with the diet. I
couldn't remember all that I did. Will try it again. lindatutty (lindatutty@hotmail.com) -

for 17 years. But I didn't loos weight - just had diarrhoea. I tryed acupuncture
for a while but now the diarrhoea has returned. So...... Time to try the diet.

Great site! It's nice to be able to read other people's stories and know that
you are not the only one. Erin (Abilena@aol.com) -
- I am on the diet, but i do not have an inflammatory bowel condition. I have
psoriasis, arthritis, and fibromyalgia and I know the SCD is the answer. I've
done tons of research on diet and chronic illness and it all points to low carbs,
but Elaine's book is the clearest. How can doctors remove peoples' intestines
when the answer is so somple? It's a crime!!! Allison - student,
- After my diagnosis and subsequent bowel resection eight months ago, I thought
I would spend the rest of my life a hostage of Crohn's. The SCD is giving me
hope that I can overcome this obstacle in my life. Eileen Hughes (deanb29@mail.idt.net) - sales,
- This website has been very helpful with questions I had re: Crohn's and my
diet. I currently have been following the SCD for 6 months and I think it is
great! Derek (derekpowers@hotmail.com) -
- Excellent info. Just one question on the recipes: why do so many of the
recipes require you to cook/boil the vegetables? my understanding is that
cooking vegetables actually releases the "starch" that is contained
within? any thoughts on this? Derek (derekpowers@hotmail.com) -

doctor was not very helpful, and I thought that diet was the key but I didn't
know where to begin. I have a friend with Chron's disease who has been on the
diet for a year now and having great success. She suggested this for me and it
seems to be helping. Thanks. Laura (scooter@tnaccess.com) - Customer Assistance,
- I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's and am looking for an alternative to
surgery and my new puffy "Prednisone" face. I want to start the diet
soon but I have a few questions to ask some vetrans. This site has been an
invaluable source of information that not only compliments the book but also
fills in many of the gaps. Thank you! TJ (THamil1031@aol.com) - Title insurance/Escrow Assistant,

PEGGY LEBLANC - RETIRED, CSA
- GOT A LOT OF NICE RECIPES Mark (No e-mail address) - library technician,
- Is it possible to remain a vegetarian on this diet? I eat fish occaisionally
but, I must admit the preponderance of meat, poultry, cheese and egg ingredients
in SCD recipies dismays me! Anyone else with this concern?
Paulette - mom,
- Please note that my previous post did not include the correct e-mail
extension, I am sorry for sending the same post three times. Here is the correct

- Thank you so much for providing the SCD Web site. I believe the information
saved my life. I have suffered from chronic diahrea since 1986. Last year
things really deteriorated. I couldn't slow down the diahrea, even with
immodium. I started the diet and the diahrea stopped. I would like to tell you
my story, but there isn't room here. Thora Salamon (tsalamon@hiwaay.net) - bookkeeper/homemaker,
- Hello Mik! Thank you for taking the time to provide such an informative
website. It is a relief to read all this information and confirm that my
symptoms are real, and not imaginary, as so many doctors just dismiss them! Am

chiropractor for your shoulder! : ) Angela (CoudyIns@Penn.com) - Insurance customer service,

- My husband has had ulcerative colitus for 35 years and has taken steriods for
almost that long. His doctor has nver told us of different ways to "heal?
the disease. This diet in some ways is close to the Adkins Diet that we are
both currently on. We have both lost considerable amounts of weight considering
that we have only been on it 1 month. I am gla Clay Herzog (clayzog@planetcable.net) - Engineer, Herzog Design
- Up dated info regarding DCCC and the Reiter Dairy, OH. The Reiter Dairy
currently gets their DCCC from Fairmont Products in Bellville, PA 717-935-2121.
Fairmont currently ships the product in only 50# packages to commercial accounts.
If they would consider packaging for the retail market if there was sufficient
interest. Hmm... Fresh Fields perhaps? Amy Bottom (ALBOTTOMRN@aol.com) - Nurse,
- I think this is a terrific website. I have tried the diet and had tremendous
success. However, for some reason I started cheating and have relapsed somewhat.
Elaine says to add foods gradually and see how you tolerate them. This is
confusing for me as I don't have immediate problems after eating particular
foods. Any advice? Jo (j_32@hotmail.com) - Student Adviser,
- I was so pleased to stumble across Elaine's book and your website. I was
diagnosed with UC Nov97 and am just getting over my 2nd flare up. I'm on my 4th
day of the diet and feeling better already although it's hard to tell whether
it's the diet or drugs at the moment. My Dr isn't the least bit supportive, it's
an isolating experience IBD. Thanks Guys! William (Laing) - Retired,

Susan (sfordi@aol.com) - wife of U.C. patient,
- Good site. Coincidentally I found a blurb in a book about Attention Deficit
Disorder (ADD) that patients often have some form of IBD. Lots to think about.
My husband was a super-fast child, and still exhibits much of the behavior of
adult ADD. Hope this can help someone. Thanks for your website. Matsy Walker (matsy@netdoor.com) - Retired/Genealogical Research,

on the diet for about 6 mos. I feel so much better, although Christmas was hard

- Crohn's disease, diagnosed 1967--2surgeries, many hospitalizations, am on
Pentasa--just heard of SCD, not sure it would work for me Dana Dennis (danadennis@mailexcite.com) - Assistant manager Paint industry,
- Very Informative. But, does anyone know of a link between Crohn's disease and
hyperactive thyroid? Is there any people with Crohn's that have this thyroid
condition. I found the diet to be very effective in treating Crohn's but haven't
tried it now that I have developed this thyroid condition -- possibly due an
immune suppressing drug prescribed for Crohn's. Ann Poor (poor@capecod.net) - Customer Service,
- I am responding to a discussion about acne & yoghurt applied to affected
areas. Jim in his 5/3/97 email said it helped him with his acne, so I started
trying it & now it is worse than ever. I would welcome anyone's comments about
this. Is this normal for it to get worse while using the yoghurt face pack before
it gets better? Any comments would be appreciate Jocelyn Martinkus (Martinj7@miamiu.muohio.edu) - student, Miami University
- This site has made me more optimistic towards the diet. I was diagnosed with
UC in May of 98 (I am 20 years old) and am weaning off pred and am on asacol. I
feel great now, but last month was hell so i am willing to try anything. I would
love to hear more stories or suggestions! thanks Bob Jamieson (rbjamie@ibm.net) - Environmental Manager, Fortune 500 Company

Ted Jaskot (jaskot@msn.com) - Software Engineer,
- I am about to start the diet however, I have read on various news groups that
the diet does not work for some people. What I have read was alot of people with
blood type other than "O" the diet won't work. I have some hesitance
about starting but I think I will give it the old college try. What I read in
Elaine's book makes sense. Ted Tanya Zilberter (zilb@sunny.MPImF-Heidelberg.mpg.de (Dr. Zilberter)) - physiologist, Mining Co

- Interesting and informative. My brother has UC and is currently on a strict
liquid diet, has been for almost 1 month and will be for at least another 3

injections.... Carol Watson (cmkwatson@juno.com) - teacher,

- Have been on the diet since March 98. I have Ulcerative Proctitis. I am now 10
weeks pregnant and having difficulties gaining weight. As you can guess, all of
my favorite foods are not allowed on the diet and going without saltines is quite
difficult with morning sickness. Does anyone have suggestions? susan tremble (stremble@greynet.net) -

about foods not specifically mentioned in the book though.
Karen (KLKinnaird) - Office Manager in family business,
- Just starting diet for my 19 year old daughter, doctor told her diet has
absolutely nothing to do with Crohn's Disease. I don't buy that. She stopped
dairy products 2 weeks ago and her diarhea is getting better, but she's still
bleeding. He upped her Pred, said maybe a hospital stay will be neccessary. I
sure hope this diet works. Max Johnson (maverick@stockholm.mail.telia.com) - Crohn's Disease Sufferer,

others in similar situation. Judy Gardiner (gardiner@cbmedia.ca) - admin assist, publishing
- Although I have a very mild case of Crohn's, a reaction to drugs prescribed
for a flare-up put me out of work for four months. It's taken forever to get over

stay hopefully s Linda Lafferty (Dovehaven@aol.com) -

Amy Rasberry (nrasberry@startext.net) - student,
- I have had the specific carbo. diet for over a year now and can attest to the
success of it. Sticking to the diet will make my pain disappear and improve my
mood greatly. Other than lacking discipline the only other problem I have
encountered was the development of scar tissue after 3 months on the diet. Still,
it's the best treatment I have ever tried. Liz MacKay (mackays@ns.sympatico.ca) - customer service,
- I have been diagnosed for almost nine years and haven's had surgery yet. I am
glad to see that there is a place where people acn get new information and share
ideas. This page is now bookmarked for me and I will tell others. Thanks and keep

see if it works? Quit smoking/nicateen three months ago and gained 25 pounds -
can't lose it even with 1 1/2 hrs of exercise a day. Other than my pot belly I'm
in great shape. Denise Dempsey (stellar1@pacbell.net) -
