SCD: Specific Carbohydrate Diet/Ulcerative Colitis
I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis for the last 5 years. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory cronical disease of the bowel that usually affects the distal end of the large intestine and rectum. I have had the disease under control the last 3 years making it possible to live a normal life doing normal stuff but still probarbly use public toilets more than an average person. This thanks to heavy dosage of Asacol(Mesalamine).
I find the amount of drugs needed very scaring and Im thinking of trying out the SCD Specific Carbohydrate Diet developed for diseases like the one I got.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, IBD, and IBS.
Of all dietary components, carbohydrates have the greatest influence on intestinal microbes (yeast and bacteria) which are believed to be involved in intestinal disorders. Most intestinal microbes require carbohydrates for energy. The SCD works by severely limiting the availability of carbohydrates to intestinal microbes. When carbohydrates are not digested, they are not absorbed.
Funniest blonde joke ever
I normally hate blonde jokes, but this one is great.
