While they eliminate many bad foods, and you should pay attention to this, please don't everyone blindly follow it. Keep it mind there may be recommended foods on their diet list which can trigger flare-ups, as they do for me, and as they have for others who as a result have found themselves in the hospital on IV facing surgerical procedures. Keep in mind that those posting messages on SCD forums will only report good things, since anyone else is bashed relentlessly, and therefore has no incentive to share their experiences. So, I'm just saying, please be cautious.
