                        rebecca, maybe i can help.  i was recently recommended a book called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" it is a diet especially made for uc, crohn's etc.  It contains all kinds of recipes and other useful info.  I have had uc for 9 years and have just started using the book.  right now i am not on any meds and i am having normal bowel movements.
