Second morning w/ no bleeding!

NO STEROIDS!!!

The bleeding has subsided and the pain is lessened. This flare was worse than the last one. If this keeps up it will be my second remission without prednisone. It started last Saturday (so 10 days). I took ideas from this forum and I think it really helped. I increased the probiotics (20-30 Billion with each meal), started taking fish oil (2g/day) in addition to the asacol, and started watching my diet a little more carefully. Yesterday, I ate: organic oatmeal, banana, organic microwave rice/peas/carrots (Amy's), whole sweet potato, lean steak, organic pear juice. The day before I ate: homemade organic carrot/celery/bell pepper juice, lean ground beef, organic currant and pear juices. The day before that, I think it was an apple, organic yogurt, lean ground beef, plain baked potato. I have also been staying very still and resting. I think I will try and go to work this morning! Thanks everyone for all the help and advice!

I think your diet is playing a major role with your UC and apparently you do to since you're eating that healthy and posted everything you ate. My UC symptoms seem to be correlated to my diet also. Goodluck PredJunkie. I'm so happy for you b/c prednisone was great for me but like i've mentioned before, I was on and off it for years and now I have osteoperosis.
