I quit coffee long before I got UC but I still have tea occasionally and chocolate on a fairly frequent basis even when I'm flaring hard. (Note: I only go for chocolate without milk or emulsifiers...
I agree with iPoop - #4, none of the above. Chocolate is repeatedly said to be inflammatory yet I can eat a lot of dark chocolate with no problem, same goes for a lot of other things that are...

Back when I flared I shared your symptoms from drinking alcohol. I'm currently in remission (no blood, no mucus, fully formed stools) and alcohol is perfectly fine although I don't drink it very...
I also have proctitis, zero STD history....

I have proctitis!! For the first 3 years I was on suppositories it slowly degraded until I had to get on prednisone during the peak of the flare-up about a year ago (so yes I needed steroids at one...

Hey, the less you stuff your body with all kinds of medication the better but mesalamine is very, very mild medication so if you can get that at a decent price it's worth trying (prednisone is a...
I can't tell if I ever had any problems with gluten, I went gluten-free back then after reading something about paleo and deciding to go on full keto (which is no longer the case for either, hehehe)....
I was gluten-free for a few years (about 2013-2016; diagnosed in 2014), last year began to bake my own sourdough bread using wheat bread flour. I eat 2-4 loaves each week. Sometimes I have white...
I live in Canada and take 4,000 IU daily from October to April/May....
