    Hi Clive

    i have it 25 years.  Avoid sugary things ,fruit ,wheat yogurts and yogurt drinks . Alcohol too. I found my cure from one of forums in Feb. Lepicol the one with the pre and probiotics in it plus psyllium seeds purchased at ' just ingredients' online only place I could get it as it has to be the seeds.  It has all got to do with butyric acid which feeds coloncytes in bowel which keeps the bowel happy .

    Sorry Clive I cut myself off b4 I had finished.. Teaspoon of each in glass of water couple times a day for a while and then once a day now. I have been symptom free from starting this . I also put a teaspoon of hemp seed in mine too ... Good for your system.  Good luck

    i have ulcer colit since 1992 and had a huge dose of hormons  and chemiotherapy with metotrexat. it was awfiul but now i am 42 y.o/ and remembering ol these stuff came to next conclusions1  good sense of humor ( remember that colits often cause depressive disorders } my treatment went very resistent to therapy until i  met beautiful psichoterapist  and began to administer antidepressant .of course diet plays signficant role a simple oat cereals plus hard boiled eggs up to 10 per day. and of course meat you must eat as much as possible. no souces and pepper and other things/ A cheerful mood and avoiding phisical strenth such as gogging and sportive exersises and you need every day administer your antiflammable therapy . 5-asa / and others ." Who dares wins'

      Hi Clive 

      if u take fruit juices small glass only.  I noticed comment re oats.. Me personally I have sensitivity to oats which send my gut into a spin . Trial and error in lot of cases.  U should keep food diary. I would hav had to b more careful until I did the lepicol plus thing.. At present I hav been able to go bac on lot of stuff I couldn't take b4 ....obviously I do not pig out on the stuff

      Also noticed re live yogurt ... I could not take it ....I do not no the problem with me and it. I even made the 24 hour yogurt as per Elaine Gottschall and couldn't tolerate it either .  Everyone is different . All got to do with our genetics me thinks . U may b able to tolerate it ok.

      It sounds like every1 is different, so it's a case of trial and error
