UC completely changed my life. Because of it, I am now allergic to dairy, whey, sugar, and eggs; and if I eat any of these things I will get sick/get a UC relapse. So now I obviously changed my daily...
Hi, I was wondering if it is safe for my health if I could bleach my teeth to make them whiter even though I am on medication for UC. My history of UC is that when I first got it, it was a very...

Asia, I already watch what I eat and eat small portions usually. And about the rice pasta, I ate a good amount so I don't think it was bad at all. And yes, I have had rice bread, but I dont buy it...
Nuffinbuttrouble: I get what you mean and I was totally thinking the same way. Also, after a day and a half I stopped my carb only diet. I went back to eating regular foods and Im doing ok (you were...

I do a somewhat good diet overall. It's just my stupid UC acting up and making me have to eat only rice pasta/carbs. I hate it. I would prefer fruits and veggies over that. As for my normal diet...
