i've got uc. I had one colonoscopy, 3 sigmoidoscopies, and 3 Remicade infusions, tons of prednisone, Humira, Colazal, Asacol, Sulfasalazine and some other stuff. But I'm doing pretty good and drug free and my colon is making some pretty hard craps lately. I have been using an extreme diet makeover to treat my disease, actually its not too crazy.

Diet made all my symptoms better –
I took out red meat, do not eat anything fried or greasy (I pay for it even If I have something a little greasY) eat lots and lots of cooked veggies and fish, do not eat dairy unless it is goat or sheeps cheese (can handle a little of that) – never drink cows milk (use almond milk, so yummy!)and have no gluten –
I eat other grains (rice, beans, lentils) and can handle them
I have been off predniosne fora month – take some colozal and supplements(fish oil, multi vitamin) and am feeilng SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Dotors who say diet does not matter are nuts – what you put in your stomach makes a huge huge difference -my gastro said to eat easy but not much else – when I told him I took out red meat he said “I do not eat it either” when I asked him why – he said because it is hard on your whole GI system -… See More
wow – preach what you practice!!!!

hello to all i am new to the chat room, well where to start Im 29 years
old had colitis since i was 17 in 2006 they removed my entire large
intestine and just recently i got cuffitis(which in lamen terms i felt
like i was shitting razorblades for 2 years)i had a bag for 10 months,
they also found 4 blood clots in my lu…ng and i am lucky to be alive. So

I am so horrified to think that for so long I was told and really thought there was nothing I could do about my UC. I totally trust my doctors but now understand that they are like scientists who see an illness and try to cure it with medicine. I now know that we can do SO much with just changing our diet. I am wheat/gluten free and even though I have a teeny tiny bit of milk in my tea I’m also dairy free. I’m still on Asacol (12 a day!) but no steroids now for 3 whole months
My doc said I can maybe start bringing my Asacol down too. Feel better than ever thanks to my new healthy diet!
