I am also without medicines.
Pre diagnose I thought I had milk allergy as my symptom became worse when using dairy products. I was earlier a lacto-ovo vegetarian, but I dropped both milk and eggs from my diet.
After diagnose I quickly learned I am allergic to Asacol. Endocort worked just for a short time. I did not accept to take any immune depressive medicines, so I dropped all medicines and begun testing.
While flaring pretty badly I tried many different things (VSL#3, aloe vera, SCD, many different natural stuff like golden seal, slippery elm, eating food cooked at least 3 hours (all starch broken down) etc etc). Nothing had real effect on me. I was having constant D and that combined with a lot of gas.
Finally I learned about
food combination. It took one day and I was a lot better! From that I had hardly been able to walk, I could take walks in the forest.
Now I am trying to eat a bit of almonds and walnuts each day, I also try to eat plenty of fruits and I can say that all of my symptoms are gone. I am not eating any medicines. My bowl moments have been almost on the too hard side (almost constipation). This feels almost unbelievable after 5-6 years of watery D and sometimes consistence like porridge.
