Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hello all, I'm new to the Group, and am hoping that some of you may be able to shed some light on the " three month flare " . I started the diet on January 5, 2009, after a six month flare of ulcerative colitis. It took about three weeks to see some results in the form of less frequent, more solid bowel movements, and I seemed to be progressing fairly well until about a week ago, when my movements began to loosen and give off a particularly foul odour, almost ammonia-like in scent. Blood has also begun to appear in my movements as well. I know BTVC mentions the possibility of experiencing a three month flare, and I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with such. Specifically, how long did it last and how severe were the symptoms? Also, has anyone restarted the diet after experiencing a flare? The return of my symptoms coincided with a decrease in my dosage of Prednisone from 20 to 15 mg/day, so I'm concerned that the flare may also have something to do with that. Thanks very much in advance, and apologies for the graphic nature of my post. Brad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
