My fiancee was diagnosed with IBD and Ulcerative Colitis about a year ago. Her case is a severe one and over the past year she has been on several different classes of medication, high dose prednisone throughout and has failed to improve for the most part. What a nightmare it has truly been. She was put on remicade about 4 months ago and is slowly starting to see some improvements from the drug, however we are anxious to get off it as soon as possible and do not see it as a long term solution for several reasons.
I know this thread is about natural solutions, we are starting the SCdiet today. We had tried it back in august with some good initial results but after a couple weeks we gave it up because we had assumed it was the Remicade that was providing the relief. Looking back, it is now more clear that the Remicade was not helping but maybe it was the diet so we are trying it again. Here are some links to check out.
Good luck.
