SCD-Week the Third (Or So)
It’s too soon to tell if the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is doing my ulcerative colitis any good. I fully believe that even if it isn’t fixing the disease, it’s a very healthy diet. It’s especially good for Frank since he has type 2 diabetes. However, I’m always SO FREAKIN’ HUNGRY!
Part of that is because I’m still on prednisone. But still, I have a hard time finding things to snack on, and stuff takes quite a bit longer to prepare than I’m used to.
And what about when I cheat? How badly does it set me back? I didn’t clear out illegal foods when I started. So until I’ve scarfed down the last of those Lil’ Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies, a cheater I will be. I’ve already cleaned the house out of hershy’s kisses.
Physically, I’ve been running to the bathroom at night with gas, but with no real gotta-get-there emergencies. The problem is, I can’t tell the difference yet. It might be gas, or it might be explosive diarrhea. They both feel the same, so better safe than sorry. Sometimes my multiple-movements-accompanied-by-severe-cramps happen in the wee hours of the morning, and other times they occur when I’m trying to leave for work. Either way, the frequency has decreased since the first of December, even if the urgency has not. It’s my understanding that this diet should eventually help. But not if I keep cheating, of course.
Hungry Again..
…to the point of distraction. One of three things must happen:
- I’m going to have to figure out how much I need to pack in my lunch box to snack on throughout the day;
- I’m going to have to stop taking this prednisone (it can make you hungry);
- I’m going to give up this Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
I’ll add a more detailed post about how it’s going later this evening.
