Searching didn't turn up much that was relevant. My IBD is out of control no matter what specific foods I cut out and is still undiagnosable, so they can't even tell me exactly which disease I have and how to treat it. It seems like every time the ulcers develop they take longer and longer to go away, and I know I'm having an outbreak right now since I'm pooping blood and mucous. A macrobiotic diet seems to be about as clean and non-irritating as a diet can get. I know I can't prevent the ulcers from forming but I should be able to avoid irritating them, right?
My question is, how hard is it to adhere to? Like, am I going to start eating crap again in three days (and just sucking up the side effects) because the food is awful or even worse, stop eating completely because it's just a chore and tastes icky? Who here does/has done a macrobiotic diet? How bad did it suck? Did it actually help whatever it was you did it for?
