Ulcerative Colitis Stories – Colitis Symptoms, Colitis Diet, Colitis Information

Well, as planned I started the SCD intro diet on Monday July 5. The weekend was spent making two batches of SCD yogurt, making the SCD chicken soup and doing some loose meal planning. I must say that this transition to the SCD way of eating came at a pretty good time – I was [...]

I was diagnosed with UC about 6 months ago. As I caught this really bad virus, I started having diarrhea and bleeding. It had probably started one and a half years ago when I started having episodes of diarhhea (lasting 1-2 months) with severe bloating and gasses. I just assumed it was some virus and [...]

I’m pretty happy I found this website as it is the most positive website I’ve found about ulcerative colitis. I was diagnosed a year ago and I spent too much time reading very negative and depressing accounts by people struggling with ulcerative colitis. This is just not the best path for someone who is newly [...]

Hey Colitis People, I had an interesting office visit today with a Gastroenterologist office in San Mateo California.  I happened to be in the office for something work related and I asked the gastro doctors secretary some questions about the common protocol for their patients with IBD and specifically their colitis patients. She told me [...]

Once I was diagnosed with UC, I knew that there was something that needed to be done with my diet. I mean it was only common sense to know that you are what you eat. So I stopped eating meat, ate more vegetables, fruits, grains, and gluten free, wheat free products. At first it worked [...]

Many people find themselves wondering what they can and can’t eat with UC. Or better yet, what is good and what is bad for their ulcerative colitis. So, the hope is this posting will give you an idea with good old High Fructose Corn Syrup and your UC. One thing is for sure, high fructose [...]

This recipe makes four small loaves.  I use four small metal  bread pans (mine are afixed together in a solid wire frame — ez to handle); each is 3.25 x 5.5  inches, smaller than usual.   (The recipe would fill two usual-sized rectangular bread pans — but I’ve never tried that.)  I line my pans with waxed paper [...]

Hey guys, I am still doing good on the diet although I am a little bit put out today as everyone is prepping themselves on Easter egg gorging and eating a big roast with roast pototoes and thick gravy and lamb on Sunday! But I am going to make rasberry pie and eat lamb and carrots…not [...]

Well, I have to tell you, this SCD diet is amazing! The bleeding stopped after about 5 days, still had some blood in the faeces, but that now has disappeared. The headaches have gone and my very sore tongue is gradually getting back to looking more normal than it ever has. I still have some [...]

Well guys it looks like the diet works for me as today I had my first proper bowel movement with not one trace of blood and mucus. I didn’t need the loo at all yesterday and only once so far today. I just find it amazing that in a week a diet did what usually takes [...]
