New on the diet with some questions

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am encouraged to have this listserv as a resource and look forward

to learning from those with more experience with the diet! I have UC,

diagnosed about 5 years ago, but looking back, I had symptoms as far

as 11 years ago. I am on day 4 of the intro diet. I did not have D,

cramping, or blood before I started. I will introduce foods slowly.

I tried a banana on day 3, that wasn't ripe enough, or too early, and

it went right through me. Given that I didn't have D before I started

the diet, is the D a sign that the die off of bacteria is really

happening? Another question is do I have to wait until fruits and

vegetables are introduced before I introduce almond flour baked goods?

I have to admit that I'm not feeling that great (I had a cold when I

started the diet) and would like some legal comfort food! Even though

my symptoms were tolerable, I just had a sense that there must be a

better way to treat this than with medication that isn't working as

well as it used to.

Gratefully,

UC dx for 5 years
