I started site shortly after being diagnosed in October of 2008 with severe pancolitis (when my whole colon was inflamed).
For me, it was a very rough start with severe symptoms. Getting bounced from medication to medication was not easy or too helpful. But, I did meet another UC’er, changes several parts of my diet, and of course the rest is history.

I’ve written 2 different ulcerative colitis ebooks, you can check them out here.
And, the Free eNewsletter, which has important updates can be joined here.
There’s no evidence to support that this type of diet works. See link below. You can google around a find a number of scientific studies debunking this as well. I would assume there’s a strong placebo effect at play here.

Hi Bud,
My apologies for being so delayed in responding to your post, but I do definitely appreaciate your comment, and I’m sure others do as well.
If you’ve been around the UC world long enough, I’m sure you also know that every single medication and every treatment has been debunked or disputed by someone somewhere along the lines. Not to say that any particular debunking is better/more valid or less than others… That’s always going to be in the eyes of the beholder, or holder of toilet paper.
But again, I appreciate your comment and the link, always better to post debunking ideas with something to back it up.
In the end, what works for someone may or may not work for another. This is true for basically everything in life i’m afraid.
Best to you, and thanks again for being part of the site,
Adam
I have just found your site today and am trying to soak up all the information I can.
Can you tell me anything further about the diet by blood-type? Has it worked for others who responded to this post?
Hi Twilia,
Yes it has worked for others, and of course it has not worked for others too. It is just another one of those things where there is no simple silver bullet answer to UC. But, as you can see from other stories, for those who feel it has helped them, they swear by it.
Best to you,
Adam
