5. I just read that Casey Abrams, a current American Idol contestant and favorite, missed a show because he was in the hospital due to UC. He is now back in the game - what a trooper and an inspiration!! I was already a fan of his soulful vocals, but I'll be rooting for him even more now and I really hope he goes far. I also like how he sang "I Don't Need No Doctor" for his audition!

It's been five days on the intro diet and now I'm moving on up to Stage 1. My flare had already subsided quite a bit by the time I started the intro diet, but I can tell you that after a couple days on the intro, I really felt better. Even if you are not feeling better on the intro diet, it is advised to move past the intro after no more than 5 days or you will have very low energy. I added in bananas today - I love bananas and I generally always keep them around because they are a quick and easy snack. When I was previously on SCD, I was channeling my inner monkey and eating 3 or 4 a day at one point! On SCD, only ripe bananas with brown spots should be consumed because much of the starch has been converted to sugar.
