I have had it and it SUCKS!!!!!!! Here’s what I did. I ate ONLY boiled skinless potatoes and steamed broccoli for one week. Then I ate this and added some baked skinless chicken. Stay away from caffeine, DO NOT eat grapes, corn or peanuts!! I also took fresh bee royal jelly from beeroyalproducts.com. What it does is it coats and heals the ulcers from the inside. It is also soothing to the colon. The reason I got it from bee royal products is my doctor recommended this company. He said a lot of the other companies "water down" their products and this company has the freshest purest available. Oh also stay away from tomatoes or anything else with a "skin". Don’t eat any fried foods. No beef. No dairy. After you heal you can slowly add this back into your diet. Oh and one of the previous posts said to eat more fiber. Yeah if you want to feel like you are dieing. The doctor will tell you to eat that crap but their not the ones sitting on the toilet feeling like…. Well you know.
NEVER EVER take aspirin, ibuprofen or Advil!!!!!!!!! This stuff will eat more holes in your colon. No matter what else you do, just remember to never take anything containing aspirin.
Edit:
I reread the previous post and she is right. I misunderstood adout the fiber. She said you can eat solulable fiber and she is right.

what you eat is the number one treatment for ulcerative colitis. Grapes are definitely harsh because of the skins. You cannot eat any fruits or vegetables that have skins unless you remove the skin.
1. ALWAYS eat soluble fiber first, eat soluble fiber whenever your stomach is empty, and make soluble fiber foods the largest component of every meal and snack.
2. Minimize your fat intake to 25% of your diet, max. Read labels and at restaurants, ask.
3. Never eat high fat foods, even in small portions, on an empty stomach or without soluble fiber. Better still, don’t eat them at all.
4. Eliminate all red meat, dairy, fried foods, egg yolks, coffee, soda pop, and alcohol from your diet. This may be the most difficult dietary strategy to adopt, and I know it probably won’t be fun or easy – but neither are IBS attacks.
5. Never, never, never eat insoluble fiber on an empty stomach, in large quantities at one sitting, or without soluble fiber.
6. Eat small portions frequently, calmly, and leisurely.
7. If you’re unsure about something, DON’T EAT IT. It’s not worth the risk.
8. Food is fun and eating should be pleasurable. Take the time and make the effort to eat safely, and then enjoy yourself.
9. Remember that you have absolute and total control over your diet. No one can force you to eat something you know you shouldn’t – if anyone tries, think of them as a drug dealer and just say no.
10. Practice creative substitution, not deprivation. Use soy or rice replacements for dairy, two egg whites to replace a whole egg, try low-fat vegetarian versions of meat products, replace some oil with fruit purees in breads or cakes, use veggie broth instead of oil in sauces, bake with cocoa powder (it’s fat free) instead of solid chocolate. Use herbs, baking extracts (vanilla, peppermint, maple, etc.) and mild spices generously to heighten flavors.
If you’re currently trying to break the cycle of ongoing attacks, it is best to strictly limit your diet to soluble fiber foods and peppermint tea for several days. This will allow your GI tract to stabilize, and then you can gradually and carefully add in other foods .
I’ve enclosed a link to a website that gives very detailed information on how to eat with this condition.
Go to this website http://www.ccfa.org/info/diet?LMI=2.5. Your diet is not a treatment for colitis and there is no natural remedy for this disease. Somethings can bother your gut more than others but you can not cure colitis by eating certain foods. Your colitis can go into remission or be brought under control, but what you eat doesn’t cause or cure your disease. Grapes may bother you and may not bother someone else. From the Mayo Clinic website: As for pain relievers. For mild pain, your doctor may recommend acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Don’t use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen (Aleve). These are likely to make your symptoms worse.
ULCERATIVE COLITIS CAN NOT BE SELF-HEALED!!!
I believe that ulcerative colitis can be self-healed in 99% of cases with a simple non-invasiive method. It’s a dietary/lifestyle measure only and it works.
Why am I so sure? Because I just interviewed a guy at http://www.passionforhealth.org/ who runs a center in the USA for the treatment of crohn’s and colitis. He’s also written an Amazon.com best seller on the subject.
His name is David Klein and he had ulcerative colitis so terribly that they were ready to cut out his bowel. You don’t need to suffer with this. There’s a simple solution.
There’s lots of other info on the site as well as the interview. Go to http://www.passionforhealth.org/?s=ulcerative to list all the articles about this simple effective and lasting self healing method.
This weekend, The Times newspaper in the UK will feature a case study of this very thing. She was helped by a lady called Gina Shaw. Gina is also interviewed on Passion for Health and there is a case study too.
