SCD Day 4

John:

Medication: 15MG Prednisone, 40MG Lialda, SCD Probiotic

Passings: 1
10:50PM Not as good as the previous two days, but I suppose it was still like a Bristol 4. A little more broken up, and I'm wondering if I'm seeing some yeast. The parts that look like yeast isn't as bright, and there's not very much. I'll want to consider the digestive enzymes still, which should arrive tomorrow, and/or cutting down the diluted grape juice intake. I had quite a bit of jello and drink.

How I Feel: Pretty good! Not much rumbling and churning around in my gut. The Salmon that I made was a good pick me up. I ran my fastest 5 mile run in years, and am getting back into running shape! 5 miles in under 40 minutes. I'm pretty happy about that. The diet is definitely keeping things in check and keeping my body healthy too, I think. I just really hope I don't backslide into any yeast problems, and I'm hoping my passing tomorrow is better than the one I had tonight before bed. Hopefully I can keep up the night time passings. It'd be nice for my bowels to be on a good clocked time each day.

Food: Had eggs and jello for breakfast, along with a bowl of the Intro Diet soup which we are now out of. Had Salmon for both lunch and dinner, as well as some meat patties. Digestive enzymes are coming in tomorrow, and I will be taking about 6 a day, 2 pills for each meal. I'm hoping my future passings look more like the ones from the last two days and less like the one from tonight. Maybe it was all the fat I saw on the fish today after we pulled it from the refrigerator. At least I'm still at once a day. I don't think I'll budge from that at all. Tonight, I made Pear Sauce and threw in some honey and cinnamon. I'm not too worried about spices, and I won't eat too much of the Pear Sauce tomorrow. We just taste tested it so far. Might have added too much water to the sauce. I hope I'm able to digest it and all of the fruit doesn't promote anymore of the bad bacteria!
