Western Diet - WHY it sucks for me and why I think its connected to UC

The onset of my UC symptoms occured when I was about two months into study abroad in South Korea. I was tested for all sorts of parasites before they finally came out with the UC diagnosis. The entire time while abroad I ate like a korean and enjoyed myself. Is it related to the Western Diet? I don't believe so.

Your symptoms that started 2 months into your trip might have nothing to do with your trip or the food you were eating there. Whatever did start your UC might have begun a long time prior - or was already there when the right trigger conditions happened. My symptoms started after 2 years of abusing my digestive system with junk which may be just a coincidence.

Seems more like the UC diagnosis came when they came to the conclusion they don't know whats going on. Maybe some day the right pathogen will be found.

Yes! My doctor explained it to me exactly like that, that the biopsies taken during a Cscope will reveal chronic changes. The changes themselves take weeks, months, sometimes even years to manifest.

I just started manuka honey which is supposed to be a natural prebiotic.

What prebiotic are you taking?

Im taking A.Vogel pre-biotic that has lactofermented whey, corn dextrin and L+ lactic acid. I cant tell you if it had an effect independently since I started it after the probiotics, maybe its small effect, maybe its long term - I dont know all I care about is if it feeds the good bacteria.
