3 Month Flare Question

[Julie]

Hi, everyone. I’ve been on the diet for exactly 3 months now and I have seen great improvement for my UC. However, I now am beginning to flare. I know BTVC mentioned that this 3 month flare may be common, but I am wondering why? Does anyone know why this occurs?

There is some info at\n http://pecanbread.com/p/how/flares.html ... il/flares/

Thank you so much for this information. Does anyone know how long this flare typically lasts?

[esther]

There is no set amount of time. The length of time depends on a number of factors, eg a person's severity of symptoms, what types of symptoms, what they are eating, if they are taking meds and/or supplements, do they have additional illnesses that may slow recovery. \n\nDespite this, most people find that returning temporarily to easily digestible SCD legal foods speeds recovery from the flare.

Thank you. I will try easily digestible foods.
