Hello everybody, first time here.
I’ve been healing and dealing with Crohn’s disease for 10 years. Thin doesn't do my physique justice, I'm about 25 pounds underweight. Diarrhea three to five times a day isn't out of the ordinary; I call that Tuesday. GERD has been a struggle too, acid burn on and off for months at a time is quite depressing.
In 2009 a friend told me about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and tried it for a year with good, but not great, success. But it got boring, and I got lazy; all last year I fell off the diet horse, eating carbs, sugar and other junk, and became very inflamed, losing a lot of weight again and feeling terrible overall.
Since last month I've been trying the Paleo diet and it's been the best thing I've tried for Crohn's yet; just with diet alone, and no medications, I'm able to completely eliminate diarrhea and GERD. I'm amazed and feel great that I finally have some control over things again.
Well that's a good introduction to me. If you're interested in more of my story and writings I have a personal web site at: happy-tummy. org
