I have had UC for 30 years and have gone through the gamut of all the drugs as they became available. I would have an episode every year for three months and whatever the current medicine was,it did not seem to matter. After all these years I had the worst episode about two years ago and went on Remicade to which I had an extreme allergic reaction. After that I went on probiotics recommended to me by a doctor of integrative medicine. (Specifically for UC, VSL#3). It is only available online and it is costly. It put me in remission for 6 months and then the UC came back but not in the same intensity. I am now on a combination of VSL3 and Humira and I am now without an episode for 9 months and feel good.
As for food, I am skeptical of all of it. I could eat what I wanted except when an episode came . If there is one supplement you should take it is psillium fiber( found in Konsul and oatmeal ( not sure I spelled that correctly). It really worksView Thread
