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.

Dinner: tossed salad, chicken masala.

Breakfast: an apple, some SCD yogurt.

Dinner, yesterday: some apple crisp before yoga. Afterwards, scrambled eggs with sauteed red peppers, stringbeans, and Havarti. I have found that I prefer the "Light Havarti" to the regular, heavier/creamier Havarti. The consistency is a bit more interesting, and it is certainly easier to digest. How about you?

Here's a photo of Laura and me from Saturday evening's SCD dinner party (taken by Gay Bauer):

What a wonderful weekend!!!!! I must say I will never forget meeting such an open minded, positive, caring, sharing, and interesting group as the attendees of the conference. I learned something from each and every attendee, and look forward to staying in touch with those who traveled from far away, as well as forming a local IBD/IBS support group here in Tucson. Stay tuned...

Dinner: soup of free range chicken, organic carrots, parsley, onion, and celery.

Lunch: leftover salmon, butternut squash puree with ginger and orange juice, tossed salad.

Snacks: nut and raisin mix, fruit.

Breakfast: fruit, nuts. I'm completely out of SCD yogurt, but plan to make more after the conference.

Yes, we're on Day 3 of the Conference On Intestinal Health Through Diet! There are 30 attendees. Apart from the panelists and local volunteers, we have SCD newbies from New York City, Dallas, and Minnesota. We also have people from California and Scottsdale here to learn about the SCD--and based upon their smiles and reactions during last evening's SCD Dinner, they'll soon be on their way to a nirvana of peristalsis through the SCD.

Our menu last night consisted of: crudite and guacamole appetizer; tossed salad of red-leaf lettuce, tomato, onion, with an olive oil and organic red wine vinegar dressing; a puree of butternut squash with ginger and citrus; a sautee of Swiss chard with garlic; three types of grilled salmon (with butter, butter and pepper, and a cilantro-walnut pesto). Dessert: Laura's own SCD cheesecake and her apple crisp (which we deeply regret was not up to par!). What a feast! In reality, it was too much food to eat, eaten a bit too late in the evening, and I didn't get my after-dinner walk in...so I'm a bit sluggish this morning! Note: wine was not served, as the guests brought their own positive karma, natural joy, and good cheer!

Here's a photo of Laura's SCD cheesecake (more photos will be posted soon):
