I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2012 and with the help of a medication Mesalamine I have remained fairly healthy. I haven't had a flare since 2017 but I do suffer from joint aches and pains and severe fatigue. My gastroenterologist and primary care cannot figure it out as my last two colonoscopies showed no inflammation in my colon. I followed the SCD diet for over two years and showed enormous improvement. I have figured out on my own that I am sensitive to dairy. Neither Dr will support the SCD diet and insurance does not cover a holistic Dr. I follow the SCD and Paleo diet as a rule but I do cheat. For me the fatigue is the worst. I have the utmost sympathy for all the young people and those who cannot find relief as I know many suffer much more than do.
