SCD Day 11

John:

Medication: 10MG Prednisone (Goes does to 5MG for a week starting tomorrow), 40MG Lialda, SCD Probiotic, ProZymes

Passings: 1
9PM (Florida Time, since I flew back to Florida from California today) This passing seemed even better than yesterdays! Very little undigested fat. Maybe the tiniest bit of yeast spotted, but I think I'm responding well to bananas, so thats good. I won't go more than 1 a day from now on. This part is gross, but even the smell that reaches my nose from the bowl of the stool even smells like a normal stool. If you suffer from a gut disease, you know that those messy stools just aren't corrected in any way at all, shape or form.... or smell. No undigested foods were spotted. Soft Bristol 4.

How I Feel: Such a blessing to be using the restroom only once a day. I didn't have to go on the long plane trip home at all from California to Florida (where I attend college). My body is feeling normal. I hear no gurgling or churning in my gut anymore that's out of the ordinary. I mostly hear it only from my stomach, which makes sense because I didn't have many opportunities to eat big today. In the first third of the day, I thought I might have been feeling funny and reacting to the bananas I introduced yesterday. But the "results" that came in later at 9PM showed a very nice stool passing. Bananas will not be abused, but I'm very glad to report that I'm pretty sure I can handle them raw. I'll continue to eat them for another 3 days to make sure I continue to react well to them. I think any feelings of bad reactions are sometimes just in my head. I worry about what I put into my body so much lately, and I wince whenever my gut makes a noise. But in the end, it always keeps turning out alright!

Food: One banana for breakfast, one banana on the plane flight (thank goodness they happened to have bananas on the food cart on my DELTA flight), and I cooked 4 eggs with turkey meat for dinner with a side of 2 cups of applesauce. I purchased Motts NATURAL Applesauce. This seems to be SCD Legal. The ingredients are just Apples, Water, and Ascorbic Acids. Make sure to get NATURAL and not ORIGINAL, for ORIGINAL has corn starch. Tonight I will puree SPINACH and introduce it tomorrow.
