questions about apriso and diet

Hello there,
I was diagnosed with UC in Feb. 2013 just after having my baby. Its been a physical and emotional roller coaster ever since. Im in my second bad flare up since December. I have lots of blood and mucous esp in the mornings. I have just switched docs who wants to do another scope in March, I had one last February. Im currently on apriso, I had no luck with lialda, and when I started asacol and a steroid it made everything worse. My doc says stay on apriso until after the scope.... I just dont know.
Also I have changed my diet, lots of fruits and veggies cut most gluten. Im not sure if I need more fiber or not to " bulk up"?
Anyway just wonderig about tapering my med. Also I feel like im so anxious and have some trouble catching my breath. Is this normal!?
Thanks

Those symptoms are common for pred. It's a fallacy that eating healthy helps UC. Everyone is different. Eating healthy helps some and makes others worse. If I ate lots of fruits and veggies and fiber I would be doing very badly indeed. Raw veggies are totally out for me and I limit cooked veggies, fruits, and fiber.
