I have been on and off SCD for UC for over ten years.  I am ALWAYS healthier when I am on it.  I am currently on SCD, and in a clinical remission.  My recent labs were all within normal range with slightly low Vitamin D which could be blamed on being cooped up inside all winter (the blood work was in March).  My current goal is to remain healthy and to do so with SCD, and to eventually wean off of mesalamine meds in consult with my GI.  I credit SCD with helping me avoid biologics and autoimmune suppressants which were recommended during my flare a year ago.  I chose SCD and it worked again!  I am very grateful!
