A Regimen for Remission
This log tracks my regimen of attitude, exercise, stress management, and SCD foods. Since I started this regimen in 1997, I've been able to keep my Crohn's in a drug-free remission.

Monkey-see,
monkey-don't
Even though I may have experimented beyond the SCD from time to time, one must remember that everyone is different. Follow the intro diet for 3-5 days, and stick with the SCD until you are completely symptom free for at least one year before experimenting.

Breakfast: an apple, some dried figs, and then two fried eggs. Off to play some tennis on this glorious morning--probably the last of the "cold" sub-90 degree weather until November!!

Dinner: grilled zucchini and eggplant, cauliflower "mashed potatoes", and some leftover roasted chicken. And a glass of merlot.

Cauliflower mashed potatoes, for the uninitiated, are simply a mashed potato substitute for SCDers. They are awesome. Here's how to make them:
cut a whole cauliflower into 1"-2" cubes. Microwave, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on how large the cauliflower is). Empty the cooked cubes into a food processor, and along with 3 pats of butter, a sprig of parsley (stems removed), and salt and pepper to taste, chop until everything is turned into small flakes. Enjoy!

It pisses me off when I hear that Crohn's and Colitis patients are told that "diet doesn't matter"! I got another email from a guy in California today. He's 29, just diagnosed with Crohn's.. and told that the SCD (and anything else for that matter that doesn't come as a prescriptive drug) will do nothing. The guy gave me his phone number, I called him, told him how it works, and he is going to try the diet for 30 days. Chris, good luck! :-)

Many people really are tired of not being able to take matters into their own hands. If you fall into this group, then try the SCD. :-)

Lunch: gazpacho, grilled turkey sausages, and a big, juicy salad.

Mood meter: I'm having a really nice day. I just took a break from html to make gazpacho. It is chilling in the fridge, and will be just perfect, just in time for lunch! I'm listening to Ketama, a jazzy flamenco beat which just adds to the ambiance.

Breakfast: some fresh fruit. I'll be working from home today, taking a "comp day", and expect to get some major work done on scdiet.org's site. Hope so, anyway.

Yesterday:
Dinner on Delta..a piece of processed turkey and some cheese. Ug.
Lunch: another sandwich (that I had to remove from the bread).

Dinner: fried walleye, tossed salad, and onion rings @ some bar/pub in Lansing, MI. Whatever. Pretty tasty stuff!

Lunch: sandwiches, so I piled everything onto one half of the sandwich and ate it anyway.

Breakfast: an apple, and some cubed fruit @ the meeting I co-facilitated.

Yesterday: airplane food. Lousy, non-SCD stuff, so I was pretty much starving all day.

Snack: cold leftover turkey burger, gazpacho, and manchego cheese.
mhs@09:28

I'm off to Lansing, MI for a few days. A friend suggests "bring your camera if you like green".
