3 weeks after stopping Uceris I am still doing ok on the low carb, high fat & protein diet. Still eating bacon & eggs for breakfast most mornings. And red meat daily (am convinced the vitamins, iron and good protein are key).
I am gaining weight (how could I not eating cheesecake every day?) I'm up to 140 lbs at 5'1", the most I've ever weighed was 145 shortly after I quit smoking 14 years ago. Not too concerned about it right now, just thankful I feel like eating again. Also I remember how quickly I dropped about 20 pounds when I was first diagnosed.
Am I cured? NO, but I do believe the modified SCD diet is a great tool. Particularly because if you have a bad day you can just go back to an earlier stage until it's better.
Still having issues with raw foods, have to cook all veggies. Seem to be ok with moderate amounts of gluten (had pizza last night). I have noticed during my many years of living with low blood sugar issues that having carbs soaked in fat doesn't hit the body like carbs alone. For instance I could only have pancakes for breakfast if I soaked them with butter and had bacon on the side. If I ate them alone then I would get a low blood sugar attack a couple of hours later. Now I am wondering if pizza crust, which by definition is soaked in fat, digests differently than a slice of bread would.
Tex, I also had a DQ dipped cone last night! Not a problem
If the weight keeps going up I may have to give up that and cheesecake.
