I began the diet Sept 2006 for Ulcerative Colitis. I was on steroids for 3 years and had to begin Remicade March 2006. After starting the diet my symptoms were gone by Jan 2007 and I have been great since then. I also have Lupus and it is felt that the Remicade may have induced a flare. I was afraid to stop the Remicade for fear of a flare up. However, I have been off the Remicade since the summer of 2007 with no symptoms. My Remicade levels had been next to zero and my antibodies were elevated showing that the Remicade wasn't working except for the side effects leading me to believe that the diet had been working all along.
Even when I am able to begin eating certain foods again, I will never go back to the way I ate again. This diet has truly changed my life. I have more energy and memory since starting the diet. I am a Nurse Practitioner in an emergency department and just completed a Doctoral program in Nursing. Something I don't think I could have finished without the diet.

"I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis just a few days after my 16th birthday. Today, at age 18, thanks to Dr. Hoffman, Dr. Kroner and the rest of the Staff at the Hoffman Center, I have become 100% symptom free through diet, supplementation and Low Dose Naltrexone...When I saw my GI doctor in July of 2007, he refused to acknowledge the benefits of the SCD diet.... My parents and I walked out, and we haven't spoken to him since."
