What does healing look like for UC?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've only been on SCD for a little over 3 weeks, but it is helping a lot. I have ulcerative colitis. But I still have blood sometimes, and still seem to have a lot of gas (although only once or twice a day most days, as opposed to 10-12 times a day before). After initial great improvement, the improvement itself is slowing down (still MUCH improved from 3 weeks ago, but pretty much the same as yesterday). I know that BTVC says that it takes most people two years to recover from UC. I was wondering if any of you who have UC and are farther along in the healing process would share what that was like for you? Do you still have episodes of gas, bloating, and blood throughout the first year, even while on the diet? Do they just get less and less?

Thanks,

Ann
