3 Month Flare Question

Hi, everyone. I’ve been on the diet for exactly 3 months now and I have seen great improvement for my UC. However, I now am beginning to flare. I know BTVC mentioned that this 3 month flare may be common, but I am wondering why? Does anyone know why this occurs?

Thank you so much for this information. Does anyone know how long this flare typically lasts?

There is no set amount of time. The length of time depends on a number of factors, eg a person's severity of symptoms, what types of symptoms, what they are eating, if they are taking meds and/or supplements, do they have additional illnesses that may slow recovery.

Despite this, most people find that returning temporarily to easily digestible SCD legal foods speeds recovery from the flare.

Thank you. I will try easily digestible foods.
