I sprinkle turmeric powder on many of my foods. I make what i normally make and add turmeric powder to it.

I drink Chai throughout the day. This page should help get you started if you want to make your own Chai:

I usually tweak the recipes according to my tastes. It's a trial-and-error process.

I don't add sugar or milk if I'm flaring. I'll add a bit of milk when I'm not flaring.

Namaste Dinu,

I've lived in India for some time, and from there I learned my diet for the rest of my life: Indian vegetarian food without the spices. During the years we have added some Mediterranean food as well as Italian meals into the diet, but the basic diet for my family has for the last 30 years been Indian. Dal with rice is an excellent, nutritious meal with chapati, for example.

Cut the meat and get vegetarian sans spices and there you go.

If you have a problem finding or making Indian meals in the UAE, try cooked vegetables with rice. You can even add some chicken and fish if you so desire. Spices are not good. Coconut water is pure energy. That is what I drank in India when flaring.

So, my diet came from Madras. turn

Take care my friend.

Dinu,

Remission is when you do not have any symptoms of the disease. Flare-up means that you're experiencing symptoms; i.e. blood, diarrhea (some people constipation), blood, mucus, etc.

It's 'normal' to lose weight while flaring. Eating carbohydrates (rice, bread, beans, lentils, potato, olive oil is great, spaghetti, oat meal, banana, etc) help you to gain weight. You need to watch out what you can eat, what works with one person, is poison for a another.

Dal and rice with bread is usually good, but it's lentils that may give you gas.

What exactly are your diagnose and medications?

I feel so bad you're not at home with your family and friends.

To sum it up, you can eat Indian vegetarian food without spices, and add some chicken and fish if you want for beneficial meals. One more thing, drink a LOT of water.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask anything. We're here to help.

3 weeks Before

 

I Met Surgeon and he advised me to go for a colonoscopy and I did it on 10th June ,

 

And they sent biopsy for test .

 

On June 21 ,2011 I received my biopsy result and Dr. Told me that I have Ulcerative Colitis.

 

From June 21 , 2011 start medicine for Ulcerative Colitis.

 

Dr. Gave me tow tablets Asacol 400 mg(Mesalazine ) and prednisolone 5mg each 2 tablet for three time for two weeks

 

Now blood and mucus/pus with stools reduced .but not fully stopped.

Diny, I've to go to deal with a few affairs. I'll be back.

Your prednisone regimen - 30 mg/day - is very low in my opinion, but that is what the docs today usually prescribe. If you continue to have symptoms and they do not decrease, you need to contact the doc again and up the dose.

It takes a few weeks for the meds really work, so do not despair. Your symptoms have decreased and you need to stay then course. That is a good sign.

Try to think about the diet. It's easier for the colon now that you're flaring. This is very important. You need to do everything to assist the meds and your body to heal.

I'm certain other members will jump in and give you more information.

Take care.
