Hi Jennelle! Thanks for reaching out. The SCD diet has helped many in your shoes – after all, it’s about getting rid of inflammation, strengthening the immune system and healing the gut. You have nothing to lose by trying the diet first, yet everything to gain. You can get started here: https://healthygut.com/scd-quick-start-guide/

I am a little hesitant because of some of the stories I’ve been reading but I am also looking for a way to keep the inevitable inflammation down in my cysts/abscess. Can a diet help my situation or do I bite the bullet on this and try Humira?

Hi Richa- I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling.
We’d really recommend you consider working one-on-one with a functional medicine practitioner who can help you customize the diet to work for you (and address your cholesterol levels) https://healthygut.com/practitioners/

I tried the SCD diet but most of the vegetables don’t suit me making it impossible to follow the diet.Also I cannot tolerate cheese or nut flours making it even more difficult to survive without me feeling dizzy and weak.
After starting the diet for a month and a half my Cholestrol levels hit the roof!!
I don’t know what to do…..
Please show some light on this problem.

Thank you

I can’t even look the Humira reps in the eye any more. Nor the Nexium reps. Or any other pharm rep who is pimping something other than a natural way to health.

This couldn’t hit closer to home and is a great reminder why many of us strive to eat healthy and loose the drugs!!!
