Is there a way to heal my Ulcerative Colitis, or is it just about managing it? I have a hard time believing that I'm stuck with this condition, and I’d like to think there’s a way to fully heal my colon and bring down the inflammation and autoimmune response.
My question is regarding healthy alternatives for managing ulcerative colitis. My 22-year-old daughter was diagnosed in the last year, and it's crushing to be told we need to accept she'll be on medication for the rest of her life to control it. She is athletic, has good muscle mass, and eats a high-protein diet mainly sticking to whole foods with minimal sugar, caffeine, or alcohol. Since being diagnosed and placed on Mesalamine, she's been in remission. Any suggestions would be a huge blessing.
I have a question about the episode 332: How to know if your gut issue is something more serious | New York Times bestselling author Danielle Walker and the clip Food Saved Me. I want to start on a journey towards better health, as I have had the exposure and health concerns you speak about, like ulcerative colitis (UC). While I no longer suffer from UC, as it turned to cancer at 26 and I had a total proctolectomy, I am concerned that without a colon I may need different guidance. Any thoughts on how to move forward?
