Here is a list of some good ulcerative colitis books:
You can read and learn more about diets which have worked for many people who are struggling with Ulcerative colitis, also books to get you more familiar with UC if you are newly diagnosed.
Adam’s Cookbook of: Ulcerative Colitis Foods that Anyone Can Make (Adam has been treating his ulcerative colitis with diet since August 2008, and since then he has had really great success with diet as the sole treatment.)
This is the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet
that I base my diet off. It is the same book that the girl who explained how she got better from UC with diet used. Basically, I wish this book was handed out when people come out of the colonoscopy, or when they are talking with their doctor about bleeding/bowel movements. It’s a must read in my book.
Here is another book Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: The Grain-Free, Lactose-Free, Sugar-Free Solution to IBD, Celiac Disease, Autism, Cystic Fibrosis, and Other Health Conditions (Healthy Living Cookbooks)
Another new book, is written by Tucker Sweeney, who also wrote a post on IHAVEUC back in September of 2011(Tucker Sweeney’s Post about his new book and his ulcerative colitis). His book is Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: A Journey Through Life, Ulcerative Colitis, and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet

Has anyone tried “Listen to your Gut” by Jini Patel Thompson? Any comments/experience to share from following that route of healing vs. SCD?
Thanks

I’m reading Listen to Your Gut now. It’s complimentary to SCD, not instead of. Or are you thinking of Jini’s IBD Remission Diet? I think that can also be used along with SCD. I haven’t tried Jini’s IBD Remission Diet, but one can do that, achieve remission and then go on the SCD.
As for Listen to Your Gut, I use it as a reference for supplements and treating various symptoms. It’s packed with useful info and how to guide for specific healing protocols. I understand my disease a lot more after reading it and have a chest full of tools to heal myself in the short and long term.

When considering books you, can go to Amazon.com and find them new or used and very affordable. I just purchased Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet for under 18 bucks including shipping. I hope this is an answer to my UC. At almost 42 yrs of age I’ve had UC for 1 1/2 years taking Mesalamine and Casana. My Doc is uneducated in diet or alternative options other than the typical pharma or surgery and said that diet is not the cause or the solution. He had no recommendations, yet I find that the World Wide Web has a whole community of people with varying testimonials and recommendations. That is what I am counting on and I will shout it from the mountaintops when I get better.
So glad your out there!

CONGRATS JOEL for looking outside the box, or “the doctor’s office” I guess. I think you and I are in the exact same boat/book. Good luck to you. Please keep us posted on how things turn out for you, all the best! -Adam
