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.

Current reading: The Paleolithic Prescription, another explanation of how a regimen like the SCD can address 20th and 21st-century intestinal health issues, and The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B-24s over Germany, by Stephen E. Ambrose. Yet another enthralling book by Ambrose!

Breakfast: fruit, cheese, nuts. Laura and I are off to a home show of environmentally-conscious homes (passive and active solar, rammed earth, straw bale, and more!) this morning. It should be a lot of fun, lots of food-for-thought.

Dinner, yesterday @ Wildflower: a glass of dry red merlot; a salad of baby spinach with toasted pecans, apple, and blue cheese; roasted lamb shank with leeks and a medley of baby vegetables. Quite good, but not as good as it could have been (for the price).

Lunch, yesterday: salad, prosciutto, provolone from Cafe Milano.

Jacqueline (in Switzerland) has a wonderful SCD page, complete with quick-reference cards of allowed/not-allowed foods (in English and in French), links, and more.

Way cool: a multilingual food dictionary! Did you know that the German translation for 'Durian' is 'Stinkfrucht'?! But of course! :-)

Question: How far can a dog run into the woods?

Question: If someone is following a prescribed regimen and is symptom-free for a year, and then follows the directions which permit adding previously-disallowed foods after the aforementioned symptom-free year, then is one still following the prescribed regimen? If not, what is this new stasis of remission called?
