I've had ulcerative colitis for 11 years. It used to be severe, but through changing my diet it's basically in remission unless I get very stressed.
Basically I avoid excess sugar, omega-6 rich seed oils, and fast on a semi-regular basis. I believe most modern diseases are related to metabolic disease, and I believe most metabolic disease is a result of hyperinsulinemia. Anecdotal, but after changing my eating habits to promote lower insulin levels (both fasting and after meals), my autoimmune issues have gotten better. I tried other diets, and they all help to some degree, but the common element between them all seems to be a lowering of things that stimulate insulin production.
