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.

Get the book:
Ready to get your shit together? Got the intestinal fortitude? Yearning for a nirvana of peristalsis? Buy Breaking The Vicious Cycle! Written by Elaine Gottschall B.A., M.Sc., the book includes guidelines for dietary relief and sustainable remission of Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, and other IBDs.

Feel free to contact me if you still have questions.

Dinner: a big time SCD-fest at Mike and Laura's with special guest Sheila Shea! We feasted upon Lucy's garlic bread, Laura's lasagna, roasted beets with sauteed beet tops, Mike's tossed salad, and an organic Arizona merlot from Sheila! And for dessert: Laura's pecan pie!

Lunch: leftover trout, tossed salad. Someone should beat me over the head the next time I have eggs for breakfast. They are just not worth eating (for me)!

Something Elaine wrote about long ago (and those of us on the SCD already know), but showed up in yesterday's news: Study links intestinal bacteria overgrowth with IBS. "We are concerned about overtreatment with antibiotics and potential resistance to antibiotics. We are currently studying other therapies for eliminating the bacteria, but the results so far are not objective," the Cedars-Sinai doctor said. Nevertheless, a researcher at WebMD disagrees with these findings. Either way, perhaps more people will look into the SCD!

Oh! Last weekend I learned how to print to a shared printer on a Windows 98 machine from my Linux machine. Cool! Special thanks to the guy in Finland in the IRC's #linuxhelp! Next: print to the same printer from Laura's Macintosh...

Here's a post from this morning's SCD listserve, replying to someone else's question about how long one should remain on the SCD. (Bianca (the author and respondant) is an insightful student who is making a short movie for school about her interview with Elaine last November.)

RE: WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO GET OFF THIS DIET????
This is very strange. Some member make it sound like a life sentence. We humans are so ungrateful. SCD diet is a very simple, wholesome and healthy diet. Would you rather eat that ever, and be ill again??? Or end up with ileostomy for the rest of your life??? How soon we forget. It has to be your decision to change your life with diet that makes you well. You are what you eat, let's not forget. I was rather impatient myself, but then I had to use my reason. It took me years to get sick. Is it fair to think we are going to be healed in a week? I think not. Love Bianca
