I have had this horrible condition for some time I put myself into remission about 10 years ago after spending $600.00 at least per month on meds. I started researching what they actually were. A anti inflammatory for my colon. For real?? Then I had this brilliant thought how bout I just not put anything in my system that inflames it. I did a water fast for three days. Stopped taking my meds by mouth and then I did a juice fast for over a month. I used a masticating juicer and problem solved. I am allergic to dairy gluten soy. We shouldn't eat night shades. I tried raw diet to hard to digest. I tried vegan to many nuts and I hate beans I found myself bloated. I bought a vita mix blender and consumed smoothies and ate small meals of meat and veggies. My cells must have regenerated because I fell into bad habits and just got off of a year binge of consuming alcohol everyday and consuming horrible food. I started bleeding annually. Then bamm out of remission full blown flare couldn't even consume water. I forgot how painful those cramps were and how much toilet time was involved. I did a three day water fast and juiced celery juice for 4 days. My stomach is still sore a bit. No more diarrhea. Still going through withdrawals and up and downs but it's only been a week. I will continue with juicing introducing other vegetables and fruits for a month so my intestinal track can heal itself. I was doing research on some stuff see if anything new had come up and ran across (name removed). I would suggest everyone watch at least the ulcerative colitis video as well as autoimmune disorders and the vaccination video. It angers me when they say their is no cure. We are consuming so many toxins in everything we eat and breath that our bodies are so busy fighting off these invaders we develop these horrible conditions. Easy fix quit putting toxins in our bodies your intestines will heal. Depending on how severe of condition some it will take longer than others. No one on the planet had ever been protien deficient. It's all b.s.. If you remove all fiber and drink organic juice you will heal and you will be flooded with nutrients. I only believe in juice fasting if a person needs to over come an issue. I also believe and would like anyone's who responds to tell me if you still have your gallbladder. I think the removal of that organ was wrong we developed stones cuz we put crap in our bodies. I wish I would of juice fasted and cleaned up my system before they took it out. Good luck to everyone. I pray you will put some thought into this. Doctors don't like to figure out what the root of the issues are they just prescribe a pill. So many are just text book smart set in old ways. People just don't believe in the miracle of natural food. Don't get me wrong I appreciate doctors so much. So many of my children and family would not be here without them due to very series accidents. Anyway take care.

This is the best explanation I have found as to why gallstones develop:

"The facts about bile, carbs, and fats
Your liver makes bile, which is mostly water but also contains cholesterol, some fats, and bile salts. When you’re not eating fats, your bile gets stored in your gallbladder.

When you eat a food that contains fat, your gallbladder contracts and squeezes bile out through a duct. This bile goes into your small intestine, where it helps break down big fat globules into tiny ones that are easier for your body to handle.

Now, if you eat a significant amount of healthy fats, like coconut oil or fish oil, your gallbladder empties out pretty often. But what if your diet is mainly wheat, rice, and corn, and contains almost no fat? Then that bile can sit around for a long time. And as it sits, the cholesterol in it can get more concentrated, eventually forming a gallstone. Then, if your gallbladder does need to squeeze out some bile to handle a load of fat, and that stone whooshes into the duct and gets stuck—you’re in big trouble. As anyone who’s had gallstones knows, the pain is horrific.

So what’s to blame here—the fat that caused your gallbladder to squirt out bile (which is its job, after all), or the low-fat diet that caused the sludge to collect and form stones in the first place? In my view, the answer is obvious.

Here’s what it boils down to: Giving your body a moderate, steady supply of fats helps clean out your gallbladder regularly so crud doesn’t collect. Conversely, eating a diet low in fats turns it into a sludgy breeding ground for stones. So it makes sense that a high-carb diet is risky, while a low-carb diet isn’t—and that’s exactly what science is proving."

Even my (ex) yoga teacher who was into this kind of stuff told me not to do a juicing fast because at my peak flare I was already underweight and malnourished so it wasn't safe.

Yep my gallbladder still with me, no signs of stones.

Fiber is an ongoing problem for my gut, it just can't handle much no matter how much I try. Juicing provides good nutrients while removing fiber although fruit juice is also only just tolerated, gut prefers veggie juice.

Juicing does 2 things for me: gives my gut a rest from fiber and hopefully heals a little, gets good nutrients in. But I love food and even though I had good results from juicing as well as intermittent fasting (IF) I only do that when things are very bad, not a way of life.

I make juice and freeze it in ice cube trays then bag them in the freezer cuz it's a pain to go through the process just for a glass of juice when I only drink about 3 oz. at a time with seltzer added. If there was a juice bar nearby I'd do that but nothing within 20 miles of me like that.

If juicing works for you keep it up. GI's have to be careful not to tip UC'ers into food avoidance and anorexia/bulimia. Potatoes and rice noodles are very soothing for my gut (resistant starch). Protein is very necessary for muscles and brain. I was a vegetarian when I got UC but meat is my gut's friend now.

If only the toxins were to cause UC... However, that sounds like a bunch of baloney to me lol. If that's what you believe and it has helped you, then more power to you and I celebrate your success. However, I do not feel it broadly applies to everyone with UC. Many of us have very severe cases that take a lot of strong medications to control.

Juicing has been discussed off and on here, over the years. Most feel great while juicing, but once they reintroduce solids in their diet the problems return.

Removed the doctor's name, as he has a website selling products and services. I advise folks to be careful with these online marketing folks selling you products, services, and "cures."
