I don't remember how I figured out how to get rid of the pain, but I did, and it works just about every time. It's not pretty, but it works. For me, I get down on all fours and and lay my head down on the ground so that my rear end is up in the air, like a cat in heat. Sometimes this immediately alleviates the pain and I can feel the gas making its way to the "exit." Sometimes I have to sit back up and squeeze my abdomen with my hands, kind of like making a girdle with my hands, and massage stuff around to get it moving, and then lay back in the previous position. It can take a minute or fifteen minutes, but it almost always works, even when the pain hurts so much that I literally feel it up in my chest, neck, face.
All those years in pain and for me it was such a simple solution.
I've also found that it helps to not let too much time go between eating meals. If I go, say, four hours or more between meals, I usually end up eating a big meal and then have a lot of pain and more trouble getting rid of the pain. If I nibble even a little in between it makes a huge difference.View Thread

17 years of life altering discomfort.
The proton pump inhibitors I had to take for 17 years finally had no positive effects. Now 2 years gluten free I have no heartburn, no diarrhea, no lactose intolerance ( it was the cereal, not the milk), no
vitamin B12 injections (proton pump inhibitors deplete the body of B-12), no acid reflux, no more proton pump inhibitors!View Thread

I recently posted on this site. It is titled,"Open for Suggestions". I am new to this and very anxious so if you have or know anything more than myself about IBS, PLEASE take to time to read that post! It was kind of long so I'm trying under just IBS! Maybe someone will find me!
Thank You and God Bless Us All!View Thread
I tried this diet a few years ago and didn't stick with it. I'm not going to tell you the diet and restrictions are not easy. You have to be dedicated, motivated and serious about gaining your health back. I have heard stories upon stories of success by people that cured themselves with this diet. Because diet does matter and makes a difference!
From the people that have tried and stuck with this SCD diet, it has dramatically helped with healing and being able to get their life back.
So, if you've tried this diet, how did it go and how do you feel now in contrast to when you 1st started the diet?
Also, what has your doctor discussed with you regarding food/diet?
I will begin the SCD diet today. WIsh me luck that I will finally get better from this dreadful Crohn's Disease

information about the SCD diet can be found at this site, if interested. I like this site, but keep in mind, there's a ton of information about this diet out there in Web world.
Share a SCD site that you like if you have one! I'd love to check it out!View Thread
