Anyone else have UC & alter diet to alleviate symptoms

Ulcerative colitis, crohns or any other tummy issues out there? I have ulcerative colitis and I have battled trying to stay off prednisone and other meds. I am on remicade but otherwise I try to balance myself out with good diet. Its so frustrating when I think I am eating well and still get a flare. That is what is happening now. Sometimes just going with the low residue diet works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know if the vegetarian route seemed like it worked the best for me. Any suggestions or support?

I have crohns. Things are "under control" since having a resection in June, but I still have tons of extraintestinal manifestations that they can't do much about, but I'm finding most if them are diet related. Eating a vegetarian, mostly grain free diet seems to be having the greatest impact. And no seeds/nuts.0
