Hi mid Feb diagnosed with UC by GI. Condition chronic, spent 1 week in hospital.Got totally peed off with him and consulted homeopath. Have not looked back. Followed Gottschall legal and illegal scdiet and homeopathic meds. Totally pain free, still do toilet parade 3 to 5 times a day. Was able to start work after one week at home. Did not take asacol or prednisone. All I would like to say is that there are alternative treatments and there is really hope for UC sufferers.

I am happy you found something that works for you. I find that this illness is very individual and while some do great wwith diet restriction, some of us don't have any improvement in our condition at all regardless of what we eat. I barely ate anything during some of my major flare up and I was still on the toilet 10x a day. I didn't pass much of anything but it was very urgent and uncomfortable. Keep doing what works for you and keep us updated on your progress.

yes there are alternative treatments to meds. I'm happy to hear of your recovery but please don't become overconfident.. u must remain vigilant instead. Knowledge is the key to IBD and it gives you as much power as you put in. However, be careful this is not a disease to take lightly. Listen, Learn, Live.
