Using a throwaway account. I was diagnosed with Ulceritive Colitis about 2 years ago. Took all sorts of medication. All the docs I consulted told me diet has nothing to do it and its just my body developing auto-immune symptoms. My symptoms be came severe to the point I was having bloody stools (lots of blood) few times a day and I could not walk more than few mins. Decided to quit my work. Took few courses on Biology. Specifically on or related to: Physiology, Brain, Harmones, Cell and Gut. Read about 20 or so books on Gut, Food and Pharma (trying to understand how it evolved and the ecomonic models, how the FDA is the single boss of both the cop (Health Industry) and the con (Food Industry)). Started experimenting with foods and logging results in a food diary. Got the tests done for Food Intolerances. Avoided foods that are causing food intolerances. Avoided too spicey foods and non-veg food: Mutton, Chicken, Fish and Eggs. Taking a lot of fiber rich foods: Gourds and switched to millets (its traditional indian grains). Taking Marshmellow root and ginger tea two times a day. Eating Millet Porridge for almost two months now. Taking help from a nutrionist and functional medicine expert to make sure I am eating a balanced diet and meeting the nutrition requirements of my body. Happy to let you all know, after what it felt like an endless suffering, I am back to healthy life and have not noticed blood in stools for past 3 weeks. I am getting better and better. Time between my flare ups has been increasing gradually. can walk for hours at a stretch. I see a path to beating my gut problems.
