A member asked:

Was diagnosed with uc 6 weeks ago. decided to try the natural way i've been 24 days vegan and wheat free.. blood has gone but still passing mucus.

Ulcerative. Colitis: It is very encouraging that the rectal bleeding has subsided even though you are discharging mucus. I feel that you should still be followed by a gastroenterologist for your uc even though you're not on medications. He/she can best guide you through your condition.
