Help, My Doctor Gets Irriated If You Ask Questions

I have written on here before. I posted that I thought the SCD diet was working but it was kind of early to tell since I had just had my remicade. I have had UC for almost 6 years..Remicade seeming to be the only med that is working right now. Unfortunately, I am getting sick again :( Bleeding and severe cramping. I haven’t told my doc yet, though will be calling him today. This has kind of got me down. I am suppose to be singing in 4 weddings in a couple months. I can’t be sick :(..HELP

My question is for all you out there who have UC and have been trying the SCD diet; despite being very strict, I became symptomatic with UC 3 1/2 week into the diet. Sort of a disappointment and I am finding it hard to keep going with it. How long exactly does it take? I am going to need Remicade early-severe symptoms came out of nowhere. Also, I am going to a GI doc in Cincinnati who really doesn’t listen to me all that much. He is a good doctor however, his cure for me is either prednisone or Remicade.  He gets irritated if you ask questions at all. He doesn’t really think diet has a lot to do with this disease. Does anyone out there know of a good doctor who is open to thinking about diet and natural remedies and how it affects the body? A doctor who knows what He is doing but also one who listens. I am in the Cincinnati area but am open to driving elsewhere to find a good doctor.
