Different foods affect people differently. I know that from my communications with numerous UC patients from a couple support groups I am on. Even when I have been hospitalized, on just IV fluids and/or liquid diets, the bleeding continued, relentlessly. The only thing that stopped the bleeding over the years has been medication (biologics and/or prednisone). When I was in remission on Entyvio for 13 months, I followed a strict plant based diet and didn't see a drop of blood in all that time. I actually felt "normal" and didn't even think about UC. The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation has done extensive research and has published their data on IBD and diet. They recommend and have much clinical evidence on IBD and recommend either a plant based or Mediterranean diet. I'm glad you found what works for you. I am hoping Xeljanx will be my magic pill. If not, I will have the proctocolectomy. I need to get some quality of life back. This disease has taken so much away from my family and me and I resent it! Good luck to you and better health!!
