Day 28

Unbelievable weather still in the UK. Sat in the garden at lunch and it was baking! If only it could stay like this til October at least! Though I need to take the hose round the garden as it is parched.

Another calm day of SCD. I cooked so much food the other day in my panic that I have barely made a dent in it. Though I am running low on sweet things. I can't find anything to fill up on at breakfast that isn't almond flour based, so my cinnamon bread disappears pretty quickly, and the crumble is being devoured... so need to do some baking tonght.
Cutting back on the asacol as I have run out, doesn't seem to have had an effect... neither has the lack of VSL#3. Both of these things are good news, but it is too early to tell with either of them. I will go back on the asacol tomorrow then wean off it once I am off the steroids.

There is some junk food in the house at the mo... well there always is! But the pringles and wotsits are hidden in the cupboard and the ben and jerry's is hidden in the freezer. But the cookies and the choc easter egg are out on display! It is sooooo tough when you can see them because you start imagining eating them.  Hmmmmmm.......maybe I will make cookies tonight! I haven't tried them yet. Why isn't cocoa powder allowed on this diet? I read it was for non SCD reasons, just because of the addictive effect of it... is this true? If that's the only reason I may allow myself that vice. Yum!

Please please please keep working SCD.

Drugs: 0.8g Asacol, 2g Pentasa, 5mg Prednisolone
Food: Dinner - Salad, with anchovies, tuna, salad leaves, cucumber and cheese. Breakfast - Cinnamon bread Lunch - Chicken and veg soup with kidney beans added followed by rhubard and berry crumble Snacks - Crumble, cinnamon bread.

    Good thing your UC symptoms aren't coming back, yay ! Too bad for the chocolate, my favorite treat. I think cocoa butter is allowed though. I found this recipe and can't wait to try it :

    Wow! Just looked it up... looks great. Difficult to get cocoa butter though I think... I just saw website that was charging £20 for 750g!!!! For special occasions! All other websites were selling it as a body moisturiser... so I am guessing that is slightly different?

    I'm in Canada, but I order from a US online store : http://www.nutsonline.com/nuts/cacao/butter.html

    £20 for 750g does sound like a lot ! I'Ll let you know if I order it. I think a little of the stuff goes a long way, though.

    Hey, the best place to find food grade cocoa butter seems to be on ebay! I didn't even realise you could sell food there... Works out at about £18 a kilo. SHould last a while! Though not that long if my cinnamon cake is anything to go by!
