I am Dinu here from India(Kerala State)

turmeric and ginger are very anti-inflammatory

eat very mild curries (since spicy foods are pro-inflammatory)

drink Chai (without sugar and milk)

Hello Dinu

Many of us have had success with diet modification (plus continuing to take pills). The SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) has helped many people reduce their symptoms and restore their health. Here is a link:
www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm

Simply put you eliminate all forms of grains (wheat, corn, rice), starchy vegetables, sugars including sweet fruits and all dairy in the beginning until symptoms are reduced. This probably sounds like an impossible diet but the difficult part is just in the 1 week beginning. After the 1st week you can begin to add some types of food back in unless you see that they cause symptoms to come back.

Everything you need to know about SCD can be found on the internet.

Best wishes on your health.

Dinu

perhaps you misunderstood my message. you don't need to buy the book. all the information that is in the book can be read online. if you go that link you will find the information or by using an online search for "Specific Carbohydrate Diet".
No need to spend any money, no special foods to buy, you simply eliminate some types of food.

[img]/community/emoticons/wink.gif[/img] To all suffering from Ulcerative Colitis.



I had a colonoscopy done and result were devasting.....I was taking meds. Mesalamine, Iliada, and the dosage was up and then down. Crazy. Meds side effects are the same as your Ulcerative colitis, so you never know if your getting better or not.....Side effects are horrible, and gastrologists and all alike say you must take meds for life.....However, doctors told me that my condition was terrible and a colon surgeon would be calling me so I could discuss procedures. Well it has been 5 months and there have been no more visits to the anyone....I personally started drinking like an antibotic 4oz of cabbage juice 3 times a day....like it was my antibotic. I brought a Juicer (PRO WARING) you can get at Sears and I have seen them at Lowes... I take Cabbage and slice it up only on day I need it and put it in Juicer. I did this regiliously for up to 40 days. (Once the Cabbage is cut and Juiced you must consume it within in a Minute to keep the Vitamins potent.)

Times were 6am / 2pm / 10pm ....it was a little in convenient to keep clean the juicer, however ....sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes to get your presciption at the Pharmacy...so I will gladly do this , for it means my LIFE.



There are enemzyes and amino acids in the cabbage that heals the intestal walls and helps with the inflammation. One is "Glutamine" look it up on google and read as well as what is Called Vitamin U which really is not a vitamin. The vitamins given in DRINKING CABBAGE juice as well as others is awesome. I now after doing that have added about 3 carrots to the cabbage because the taste without is horrible for healing.... I also have started juicing BEETS. I do not do many of them because they are very potent. I do about 2 beets a week with adding in a carrot or something. Must add something to them. They detox your blood and helps with your cells as well as cleanse you..... ALL THIS INFORMATION is how I recieved help with the ULCERATIVE COLITIS. I don't have the bleeding anymore....and as a Maintenance Drink I will do periodically 6-8 oz maybe once a week if at all.

PS : Regardless of what type of Colitis you have Gastrologists and doctors are going to give you anyone of the types of meds and emma's. Mesalimine, Asacol, Lliada, and there is another...and if they don't work they mess with the dosage and tell you to keep trying. PS Stress is not the Cause of U.C. however Stress does cause U.C to flare up. SO TRY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO NOT BE STRESSED, AND ALSO I found that Taking at least 15 minutes a day, and just get to a place of quietness and just practice Breathing in and out.....RELAX....

THIS IS HOW I TAKE CARE OF THE ULCERATIVE COLITIS I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH...... 1. I TAKE NO MEDS, 2. I HAD NO SURGERY 3. I EAT MOST THINGS, AND I DO STAY AWAY FROM THE FOLLOWING FOODS.: CORN, POPCORN, SPICEY FOODS, NOT MANY MEATS , HAMBURGER FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT MOSTLY EAT EVERYTHING.

AND I'M DOING GREAT, IF YOU NEED ANY INFORMATION I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU JUST EMAIL ME. I took out your email addy for privacy purpose, please put your email in your profile PS ALL THIS HELP ME AND I M SURE IT WILL HELP OTHERS....BUT EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT WORTH CHECKING OUT. AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE ULCERATIVE COLITIS I WOULD DRINK IT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FOR ALL THE VITIMINS IN IT.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE!
