Ulcerative Colitis – Colitis Symptoms, Colitis Diet, Colitis Information

Bongiorno Ulcerative Colitis People, I was talking with some good buddies last night named Mario and Luigi and they said SCD Pizza is rather easy to make.  So, like any good UC’er following the SCD diet program, I dove right in.  It’s been close to 16 months since I’ve had a slice of pizza, and [...]

OK, has been a while since I posted an update. I have had a few bad weeks, especially since my current GI doctor prescribed Imuran. I started to have uncontrollable movements and felt like I am falling apart. I decided to stop the Imuran last weekend and felt an immediate improvement. Last Monday I went [...]

So, when I wonder what I should eat today, I just think, “hey, what would a cave women eat right now?” Mmm…. Lets see. if your on the coast. [...]

The Story: I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis my last year of college in 1987. I’ve had flare ups over the last 23 years, some bad, some tolerable, and all of them HUMILIATING! As I’ve “matured” (gotten older), the flares are less and less. I’ve taken all kinds of the typical meds, prednisone being the [...]

So I have been on SCD for almost a month. It all started when I began to flare in January of 2010. The worst flare I’d had since the summer of 2009. I’d had mini flares, but this one I just couldn’t shake. Nothing was working. I tried cortisone enemas but I couldn’t “retain” them [...]
