Welcome to the forum.

Yes, PALEO works!

IMO it's because it's an anti-inflammtory diet.

If you are interested in other things that are natural too, there are things IMO that you can control, which will have a direct impact on your disease, the symptoms you experience and their severity.

I was able to control my UC into remission through various supplements, probiotics, diet modification, and LDN , low dose naltrexone.

For more info on the protocol which has put me into remission, please go to this link: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1666318 , and look at the 11th post.

I hope you feel better and let us know how we can help you.

Paleo and similar dietary approaches like SCD are definitely part of the arsenal that helps me stay in remission.

Thank for positive reinforcement,will encourage me to keep pursuing natural remedies.I have actually been in just about full remission for 25 years but for last 5 months have had a flare up which got to the full blown stage of serious bleeding.Now I have Pancolitis and about to find out what treatment Ill be offered .

Seems foolhardy to not use meds if you now have pancolitis.

Consider the 5ASA meds...oral/rectal.

I do hope you have regular c-scopes to check for precancer changes?

Paleo has definitely helped my UC symptoms but it hasn't put me in remission. I've gained a lot of weight since I started it and my bloodwork numbers are better. I still have to take supplements and meds though so it's not a cure-all.

I wouldnt rely on diet alone to get me out of a flare.

Once you get your flare under control (I'd really suggest you see you GI for some meds) then adopting Paleo may well help maintain remission. I've found Paleo/GAPS to be helpful in maintaining my current symptom free situation.

Don't always rely on one thing. Diet and medication usually works.

Palo has helped me, though I don't deal with the omega 3 part, but has also caused some constipation issues in my case. Fiber is needed, in some cases, so look into that.

Pancolitis needs to be treated with meds, there's no way around it. Good luck.
