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.

It is quite hot here in Tucson during the summer. For the last 2 years we've been true environmentalists and refused to fix the broken A/C in our 1992 Saturn. This year I insisted on getting it fixed because I consistently cannot find covered parking during the day and hate to arrive to my destination soaked with sweat. Anyway, Saturn quoted us $900+ to replace the expansion valve and the condenser, including 5 hours' labor. I decided to get a second opinion, and found a local shop which quoted me $500 or so, (but I would have to buy the expansion valve from Saturn myself). So I bought the valve, the guy swapped the valves, and now the A/C works perfectly. Final cost..$170...total (because there was nothing wrong with the condenser after all). The moral of the story: get a second opinion from someone who isn't knife-prescription drug-wrench happy.

So, you've probably been wondering where I have been and why this hasn't been updated in a few days. I was out of town (doing some consulting/training work in Scottsdale). Suffice it to say I've been eating some SCD foods, as well as a bunch of illegals. But I'm a seasoned SCD-er and I understand how to balance a complete regimen (it's more than just diet for me, after all) and which things are less problematic for me. No problems to report at this time. :-)
