Hi Khurt - I understand and now feel quite badly I asked about sugar free ice cream. No - I don't think it would be a cure - just nice. I also understand because my husband has ulcerative colitis...another disease people just don't understand. Everyone thinks diet controls it - NOPE or Remacaid is a total cure - NOPE - or steroids are a good solution - NOPE. It's frustrating and I know my husband feels as if he's alone in this even though his new doc is a good one.
