Hi all,

I've suffered what they thought was IBS for many years. I collapsed last year twice and was diagnosed with UC. I'm now on Mesevant xl, which isn't too bad for side effects.

Has anyone helped or cured their UC with diet please? I've had some success, but I am curious about other stories?

Thanks

    Hi, I've had ulcerative colitis for years and have kept it under control with diet until a few weeks ago when I started to bleed badly. I,m sure mine was down to diet and not resting more.i was given suposatries that helped, I suggest you go and see your GP or consultant. Hopefully you feel better soon. X

      Hi thanks. I eat vegetables fruit rice can't eat bread, nuts or seeds due to diverticulitis, with the UC I can't eat fried foods..it's very difficult. I make sure I know where the toilets are when I,m out. I use a salufaulk tablets and suppositories.they all help.
