You say that the key to success is the avoidance of fats, vegetable oils and sugar (also limiting acid creating food). >>>In your opinion, are complex carbohydrates in the same boat as sugar <<< I ask this because I have been reading about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (becoming more well know in the States), which seems to view the problem as polysaccharides and suggests eating monosaccharaides because the polysaccharides can't be broken down and the undigested carbs provide food and an acidic environment in the colon for the bacteria to grow. Some root veggies are acceptable in the SCD, but you mention that they may contain the mycobacterium. Also beginning to look at the Paleo Diet, anti-inflammatory diet, which permits nuts but excludes all grains and legumes. >>>Thoughts Are beans ok <<<
My colon seem to appreciate refine complex carbohydrates (white: bread, rice, pasta) and can't really tolerate oats or some whole wheat (some Quinoa either). >>>If I eat these will the remedies not work <<<
My doctor swears that when I am having a flair up I should only be eating refined carbs and white meat (this just seems counterintuitive now that I know that they mycobacterium thrives on sugar) I haven't been following this strictly during flairs - Depending on severity, I can tolerate cooked veggies and it is best if they are pureed. I feel pretty mislead with my Dr. because he never taught me anything about my disorder, he only said you are never going to be cured and you will need to take this medication for the rest of your life.
I am 32 year-old female, 5'6", 118lbs. , Ihave always been thin (but never anemic) and I was diagnosed with UC about 5 years ago after introducing raw serrano peppers to my ceviche for a two 2 week period, although I had been experiencing issues before this but never blood (I thought I was just lactose intollerant). Lots of margarine (the connection to Vitamin K deficiency seems to fit my history), refined carbs and junk food as a child. Have been taking Mesalamine (5 grams per day) since the beginning, which my system has responded well too. >>>Can I take this while trying some of your suggested remedies <<< I have not taken steroids since the first year because it make me feel way too agitated. I was flaring up about one per year at first but have had several flairs over the past year. I have been drinking quite a bit of wine which I am sure doesn't help.
I am not interested in taking RX medication for the rest of my life so I am seeking alternative methods of heeling. Thank you so much for the inspiration (I wish you would write a comprehensive book! ). Please respond, but I know you are busy with patients.
