Jay, this isn't what you asked, but 30 years of UC is many, many times more likely to lead to dysplasia than Remicade. You probably owe Remicade an apology.

I typed a long winded answer late last night but then as the site was uploading it, I got impatient and switched off before it saved so I will try again, maybe this time being more succinct.

I agree with Scott that dysplasia is more likely from long term battle with UC vs Remicade. Remicade or other biologic use is linked to lymphoma risk. The risk is heightened to the general population by two fold, if I recall correctly it is 4 in 10,000 vs 2 in 10,000 for the general pop. but as you can see still a small statistical risk. very real if you are one of those 4.

I too resisted going on biologics as I was pleased as punch for 19 years taking only the occasional med to fight pouchitis. but ultimately I relented and my more frequent bouts of pouchitis have largely been quelled by going on biologics.

as to your query about diets, my view is that the response is as varied as meds, but if you have the discipline and wherewithal to pursue them try them and see if they help, some people swear by them. me, I'm too lazy Id rather just take meds.

I agree with the above. In regard to finding a "natural cure," there just really isn't any such thing. You can possibly control your symptoms with diet (again, this varies person to person), but you can't really cure your chronic pouchitis that way. I've been on this site a very long time and every person who thought they found a natural cure only found a temporary solution. We'd all be doing it if there were consistent results. Perhaps it is because the causes of pouchitis are varied. I don't know... 

For me, I just want reasonable function so that my pouch does not rule my life. How I get there matters less.
