Yeah, my research thus far backs up what you've said. And it does suck. LOL Thanks for the hug.

The research thus far is pretty interesting. I'll post more when I'm done, but so far my stumbling onto low carb dieting may be part of the reason why my symptoms got better. Supposedly no gluten diets along with lactose free diets are recommended. Another interesting thing is the useage of probiotics which someone told me about for IBS but is also recommended for those with this disease.

I also wonder if the the L-Glutamine you recommended is helpful for this as well. I plan to keep taking it for other reasons, mainly due to working out.

My Dr is perscribing Asacol or Mesalamine, but I'm going to research a bit more before resorting to drugs.
