What to do if not sleeping- healing from colitis flare up on prednesone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paleo diet/low carb: The best way to improve colitis is by completely stopping high carb foods (grains, lentils, potatoes based items). Avoid nightshades (peppers, tomatoes, eggs). Avoid milk protein since it causes inflammation Low carb foods: fish, meats, vegetables, avocados, some saturated fat (butter, coconut oil), olive oil are very effective. Take vitD3 10k IU/day. You should feel a difference in 1-4 months.
