I would be finding a new gastroenterologist if it were me. Not all doctors are for everyone. There are good ones and lousy ones, nice ones and mean ones. Some not in touch with the reality of their patients and just pushing through  to make revenue for the hospital. I'm sure you can find one who will listen to you and match more closely what you need.

@geezerette : Let me make some corrections on the diet statement. The gastro doctor said : No caffeine, limit coffee and tea . No excessive eating of Chocolate ( that was brave and bold to tell a Woman). Limit soda.  Then stressed on special menu or diet for UC.

I had already changed to decalf  coffee and tea  when diagnosed with Crohn's in1996. Plus never consumed a lot of soda.

The gastroenterologist really said there is no special diet for UC?

You do need to see that nutritionist.

Please think about seeing another MD.  Especially considering the inappropriate behavior of Dr. Santa Claus.

You need an MD that is much finer tuned than this clod.  

The things that have been presented to you will require careful quality care that may be long term offering much comfort, understanding and patience.

God bless--

I had it several times in the past. Basically once my life ended in an abusive marriage/relationship I found the path physically to healing. It required a change in diet which I received from a nutritionist so I highly recommend that. I had rounds of meds for short periods. I was told I ce diagnosed you always have it but until healing comes with no flares for a year is it in remission .

Diet

No stress

Good sleep

Building your immune system

My mother has UC. She could only get it under control through a rigorous diet. She was never overweight.  When she follows the diet to the letter, she doesn't have flare-ups. She hasn't taken meds for it in decades.
