GAPS and SCD Diet and Still on the Rollacoaster

Now I have bloody stools which are very loose.

My problems became worse after I had my daughter, I guess the stress contributed as well. I was on Asacol for maybe 5 years and then it was better and I stopped taking them. Half a year after colitis came back so I tried Chinese Traditional Medicine in Chinatown which was very expensive because I had to take a new batch every couple of days. That helped so I stopped again, and of course, colitis came back. Then I tried acupuncture which helped for a bit, but I couldn’t pay any more. So I went back to medication, my doctor prescribed some enemas to ease the symptoms and Sulfasalazine 550 mg, 6 per day. That helped for a while too. I think that whatever I tried (Manuka honey helped for a bit too) it helped only once and not again, so my doctor sent me to a GI specialist who told me to stay Sulfasalazine for the rest of my life.
Then I found something on the internet about GAPS diet and SCD and decided to give it a try as they are very similar. I ordered the books too.
I put my medication in one of the drawers in my kitchen and decided to stop taking them.I started GAPS diet on February 11, 2012. For a couple of days it worked and then I ate some almonds and peanuts, which was too soon, so the bloody diarrhea came back. Then I started eating bone soups and it was fine until I had a lot of garlic with home-made yogurt ( I wanted to get rid of all bad bacteria at once). So now I still have blood in my stool and no idea how to stop it. I used lotus root before to stop bleeding but I am not sure if it is allowed. I am not in pain anymore so something is getting better. I just wish to stop this bleeding.
