I was dx'ed with IBD (specifically, ulcerative colitis) in 1996 and suffered terribly for ten years before I became committed to the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) as created by Elaine Gottschall. Essentially boils down to not eating anything that isn't a monosaccharide (sp?). Di-saccharides and poly-saccharides are no-no's - that means no rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, or sugar, just to name the main culprits. <BR/><BR/>I'm able to tolerate going off-menu in small doses, but when I first switched over I was absolutely strict for six months. I eat fruits, veggies, meat and fish, seeds, nuts, cheese, butter, homemade yogurt, and honey - no liquid milk products. And black beans. That's about it. Salad dressing is EVOO and vinegar or a mix of no-sugar mayo, stone ground mustard, and honey. <BR/><BR/>The SCD is promoted as a way of managing IBD, plus other conditions. It's a miracle, I can't praise it highly enough. I was soooooo sick before and spent my weekends in bed and I was just getting worse and was in terrible pain. Now I have no pain, have decreased my meds, and kick a$$, energy-wise. I think my descent into IBD-hell was precipitated by my 1994 foray into low-fat eating -- I lived on bagels and all manner of grain-based items. <BR/><BR/>'Eat Well, Feel Well' and 'Grain-free Gourmet' are two good IBD cookbooks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28654720.post-86140229475792190892009-03-09T16:01:00.000+10:002009-03-09T16:01:00.000+10:00Good on you hun :)Em:)Good on you hun :)<BR/>Em:)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956883058763389909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28654720.post-18946723978982637942009-03-09T11:37:00.000+10:002009-03-09T11:37:00.000+10:00I found a recipe for one in my Teressa Cutter 80/2...I found a recipe for one in my Teressa Cutter 80/20 Cookbook, I'm off to the supermarket now to pick up a couple of ingredients and I'm going to try her recipe out.<BR/><BR/>I can't stop thinking about it no Liz.

I am exactly the same. I almost crave the soreness in my upper body. I LOVE it! But I can't handle it in my legs :(<BR/><BR/>Hopefully I will join your list of happy clients in the near future when Hubby stops being a tightwad!
