Ulcerative Colitis Advice
On my earlier post Best of the Web: Ulcerative Colitis, I listed a few websites recommended by health professionals. Now I would like to say that I also like the University of Maryland writeup.
Here are the main lifestyle suggestions I have found on these websites:
1) Exercise.
2) Avoid stress.
3) Avoid milk products.
4) Don’t eat foods that bother you, period.
5) Stay on a low fat diet.
6) Eat lots of vegetables and fruits.
7) If vegetables and fruits bother you, cook them.
And I would add a few additional pointers:
1) Stay away from most fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat frozen produce. (See A Fish and Vegetable Diet.)
2) Avoid all grains. (But you might want to try Quinoa.) Do not eat granola!
3) Do not eat red meat.
4) Do not eat at restaurants.
5) Do not eat processed food (meals, meats, snacks, frozen dinners, cereals, etc.).
6) Fix your own meals. Don’t trust other people to make your meals for you.
7) Take tumeric every day. (See Frontier Turmeric Root Ground
8 ) Take a good, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil every day. (I only recommend Nordic Naturals – Ultimate Omega
9) Get out for a hike or walk every day, or use the treadmill.
10) Do not eat whole nuts and seeds. Eat nut butters and seed butters.
11) Get plenty of rest. Do not overwork yourself. Take time off. Relax.

you will find that world-renowned experts write, “The Mojave has a very toxic venom that has caused human fatalities.”
