Poll on who does and doesn't uses any type of food/diet to help keep UC under control

No diet. Eat whatever.

the first two seem to be the same thing, IMO

i take supplements but diet doesn't seem to cause me flares so i just eat how i want.

I eat healthy because I like to eat a certain way but I have gone through phases where I've changed my diet and it hasn't impacted my UC. I wish I was able to conrol my symptoms better with diet.

On the other hand, I have LPR and I think I am going to have to change my diet drastically to manage the reflux. I've noticed diet almost instantly causing me problems with my LPR.

I adopted the SCD about 4 months ago when I was still on Prednisone and looking for a bona-fide solution to my UC blues. I had no dramatic results from SCD because I adopted the diet after many of my problems were being managed by prescription drugs. However, my symptoms have improved over time. Whether the diet helped or I naturally improved/healed over the course of time isn't clear, but I do know a good diet is a key to anyone's health. I added rice to my diet with no problems and will slowly add other non-SCD foods over time. Being on a simple diet over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now Lunar (Chinese) New Year has been a bit of a challenge, but I have great expectations for the future.

Nothing special here, just avoid foods that cause discomfort mainly alot of gas and bloating.

I try to eat what I consider a healthy diet (everyone has their own notion of what is or isn't healthy!) but not specifically to avoid a flare. I do think that keeping oneself healthy can help avoid a flare or at least minimize the negative impact of a flare same as any other illness.

soystud the top 2 are very similar, but trying to determine difference between a diet given to the you by someone to follow verses foods you have ruled out because they may upset you or make flares worse. I was given a diet to follow which I am doing and stick too fairly well I just wondered how everyone else does it when it comes to using food to help regulate the body. Alot of what I have read talks about less processed food, as it can upset the colon.

such books.

mum of 3 still in remission by using diet and no medication I am very lucky.

Old Hat all those things you mentioned are not in my diet is you boiled rice brown like mine? Do you drink rice milk? I drink almost 1 litre a day now. Just came home from work at 11pm and made a bowl of gucamole ate it with gluten free poppy seed crackers it was great. Is Colazal a type of medication? I am lucky I am now not on any medication at all.

I eat everything except foods containing carrageenan.

I wish I had known this years ago. I've lived in the same goddarn town Ben & Jerrys is made for most of my life and grew up eating the stuff, all through college too!

This sounds ridiculous but I was so bored one day that I went on their website and wrote a pleading letter to them asking to take that ingredient out of the ice cream so i could live happily again.

I am on a diet where sugars, fruits and dairy is avoided alltogether. After 9 months of quite strong flare up got into remission without medications. I am in remission since October last year.

Currently not taking any meds, very few supplements, and feeling better than ever.

Cheers

That's scary about the carageenan. It's in so many foods. Another good reason to eat less processed foods.
