Hello Greedo51 I am glad that I am not the only one who has for found relief for this dreaded illness. I have been suffering from U.C for the last 22 years and the last few years were really horrible until 2 weeks ago I discovered the miracle of the humble coconut. It's cheap, has no side effects, its tasty and I started feeling better only after three days of eating dessicated coconut.P.S : Has anyone else dried coconut? I am very curious to know.
