Welcome to the videos part of i have uc. Go get your popcorn, because there is about 10 videos which are about 2-4 minutes each. Some talk about the disease, others talk about food ideas on what I eat which has gotten me past symptoms. Feel free to send in video topics you would like to see via the comments at the very bottom. I’m always willing to try something out at least once besides the Chinese food down the street.

Hi Adam, I was diognised after a colonoscopy with uc 6 months ago. The prior 6 months were torture.
I was prescribed 60mm prednisone and came off over the next 5 months also pentassa which I am still taking.
I felt ok and bowel movements were less frequent pain was gone, blood was gone.
It is all back again.Now back on prednisone 40mm for the next 3 weeks.
I have just found your site, and am impressed.
I did try the special carb diet, but couldn’t handle it. I think yours sounds more inviting.
I am only on your 3rd video so it is going to take some time to get through everything.
The 5 fruit diet, did you blend it or eat it like diced frut?

HI Shirley,
Thanks for joining in on the communications. For the fruit stuff, I pretty much dice them up and eat them like that. I do daily blending with the strawberry/blueberry/bannana OJ and peanut butter smoothie. Actually getting ready to have one once wife gets back from store with more bananas.
I’ll shoot you an email shortly to follow up on some more stuff. And thanks for posting your comments, I hope you enjoyed the videos,
Adam

That salad looks absolutely awesome. Since I found this site, I’ve gone back to eating salads with no ill effects on my colitis. I did have a problem after eating mashed potatoes and biscuits with my dinner though so I am cutting those out.

That’s great Paul, I’m having a hard time cutting out potatoes, but I think my results would be even better if I did, easier said than done for me.

Hi Adam about ur potatoe problem, i too have/had a problem resisting, so iv changed to the lighter coloured sweet potatoes on most occasions, they are white on the inside purple on the outside> just one hint? maybe it will help kick the habit?

Hey Adam, Like the new video, wish I could eat those mushrooms, only trouble is , I’m allergic to anything with yeast or fungus!! No worries , prawns wrapped in bacon on the BBQ work well too (slightly more expensive tho’)
It’s so true about the slippery slope of not sticking to the diet – a couple of weeks ago I started drinking dry white wine (allowed on scd – in small amounts), well as I’m quite an obsessive personality anyway, that glass crept in for a few days and then to 2 or 3, et voila!! Started undoing ally my good work. But I’m back on track again, and fighting the good fight.
Keep up the good work

Hi Adam,
Am loving your videos and am going to try tackling colitis from a diet angle. With this diet are you drug free? and symptom free? or does it just help alleviate the symptoms?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Charlie

Hey Charlie,
With the diet, I am currently drug free, over the past 17 months I was on prednisone once for about 6 weeks to help control a small flare. Other than that incident, drug free.
As for symptom free… I can’t say I’m 100% without symptoms. I have some joint pain that seems to be common with others who have UC, and some occasional loose stools, but I’m pretty happy with how things are, and UC doesn’t get in the way of my daily life right now which is cool.
Glad you’re liking the videos, I’ll keep them coming,
Adam
