very helpful and seems to work

I've suffered from UC for the last 30 years. This is the first time I have heard of any solid nutrional advice for this disease. I have been following the advice given--especially the vitamin suppliments and avoiding meat and fried food and dairy for the last 4 weeks and have noticed a difference already! I do need to keep taking medication of course but hope to reduce the dosage by April. I most certainly have more energy and feel better overall. I only wish the author had been more specific when he said he conducted interviews. How many people did he actually talk to, and what the break-down was between Crohns and ulcerative colitis sufferers. It does matter after all to know whether a 100 people said something or 1000 said it.

Helpful Advice

This book has some very helpful information about the balance one must maintain between omega 3 and omega 6 oils. I have been living with ulcerative colitis for 10 years now. It has helped me a great deal after only one month. I urge anyone with IBD to read this book on this balance or get the info. somewhere else. You will likely benefit from it.

The New Eating Right for a Bad Gut : The Complete Nutritional Guide to Ileitis, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Inflammatory Bowel

This book has been very helpful. After being diganosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and having a bad time with it, getting off steroids has been difficult. I found the information here to make the most sense of any thing I've read. I've been following the advise with some modifications. (Having some lean, organic beef now and then seems to be fine... for me...eveyone is different.) I've really noticed a difference in how I feel. The idea of treating IBD by reducing inflammation is right on track. But, the book is very redundant, and can be a bit confusing at times.
