Thank you for this! I’ve struggled with LC for some time working with some of the best providers. Repeated scripts of Budesonide with recurring symptoms every time. NEVER has diet been mentioned much less addressed. Your plan is the first comprehensive I’ve seen. I have read that buttermilk, sour dough bread, and other probiotic foods are helpful in restoring healthy gut.

You will know what works based on your symptoms. Repeated steroid prescriptions is just not good, even low dose.

Two Questions…

Was the budesonide tapered over approx 4 mos?

How was diagnosis confirmed? Via a biopsy?

Also, I forgot… No artificial sweeteners. You also may want to try Metamucil (sp?) or a similar product with/without a probiotic. If you try one of these fiber supplements, make sure you drink plenty of water as they can have a constipating effect if there is not enough fluid intake.

Let me know how you make out, all of these things work for me, I hope they work for you!
