[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 797484, member: 91575"] My brother-in-law has Ulcerative Colitis (very badly), but is not diabetic. He has found a diet that helps him, and it is similar to my LCHF and we often compare notes. They are in Australia, but whenever we get together meals are never a problem because they know about carbs and fat. Before I started on Dr Bernstein's diet, he forwarded his guidelines as below:- Ulcerative Colitis, Specific Carbohydrate Diet - SCD The Science behind this diet is pretty simple. I’ll try to explain it to you in simple terms. “Bad bacteria” in the colon are triggering the immune system to fight. And, that bad bacteria we create from certain foods we eat that isn’t fully digested(certain breads, wheat products, certain sugars for example, corn). So, when we eliminate those “bad” foods that cause “bad bacteria growth” our immune systems don’t have to keep killing off invaders and attacking. That’s the idea. It’s Pretty Simple Below is a list of some Good and Bad Foods: Good Foods: Chicken (baked, broiled, even off the BBQ if that’s all you have) Chicken soup (without noodles) Hamburger meat, along with most other meats (baked, broiled, off the grill) Fish Eggs (many people can tolerate eggs very well, some people cannot, so don’t freak out if that’s you) Vegetables (a common misunderstanding is that vegetables are bad for people with UC. I eat veggies everyday and have for years since my diagnosis. There are times however, like if you are in an active flare where you may want to limit and/or cook veggies more than usual to easy the digestion process) Fruits (many people can handle some fruit in their diet, especially when symptoms have calmed down) Bad Foods: Grains Soda Beer and most Alcohol Cereals Milk and most milk products Most processed foods (often there are all sorts of unknown ingredients/additives) Ever since starting this website, I’ve been amazed how many people have joined me in changing their diets to treat UC. Much of what I do in terms of diet is based on the “Specific Carbohydrate Diet[emoji769]” or SCD. And its been a pretty incredible journey to say the least. After 5 years of success, I’m happy as ever and how my body has come back to life and hopefully you’ll feel the same very soon too! SCD has actually been around for several decades, but to most people it’s previously unknown. (It’s almost never talked about in the doctor’s office…big mistake number 1 doc!) I’d never heard of it either. Not a single doctor ever told me about treating my UC with diet. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet[emoji769] has actually been tested out for well over 45 years by two pretty spectacular people. Both Elaine Gottschall and Dr. Hass spent thousands of hours figuring out what works well and what does not in terms of foods. And I’m very grateful for all their hard work. May be worth considering [/QUOTE]
