In reply to Shaneclimbing:
The cynic in me was expecting this to be you selling something, but fair play to you an honest video, do you not consider qing dai to be a medication then?
The SCD seems to have helped many, and it's probably quite a healthy way to live anyway.
I found it too restrictive but have used it to help settle flares.
There won't be a universal cure all for UC however as there seem to be different types, for myself what worked the most was moving from a stressful career. Mine started in 2005 and had two large flare ups s year. Now no longer on azathioprine and not needed any steroids for a few years and only low dose anti inflammatories.
SCD is definitely worth learning about though
