Here is what I decided to do:
As long as I don't get any worse, I am going to hold off of the medicine for now. I want give myself at least 6 months to try other things first.
I am going to do the diet and the supplements. Including the probiotics. I am also including ginger in the green juice and taking a turmeric supplement because they are anti-inflammatory.
I will begin a fast when summer starts. I can't work 2 jobs, exercise with Matt, and fast too. The fast needs to be at least 7 days. I hope I can make it that long. I really wish I could go 10 days, but I wouldn't do that without doctor supervision. (That's a whole other story)
Next to try would be the LDN.
After that, I would like to try the worms if I could figure out a way to afford it.
The fecal transplant is impossible, because I don't think I can find a doctor to do it. I know there is a whole clinic in Australia, but here in the USA, we only believe in prescription drugs.
Another note: After reading many peoples experiences with UC, I am really surprised that my doctor choose to start me off on Predisone. Predisone is usually used if other medications don't work because of the serious side effects. If I do have to go on medication, I would like to start with the milder ones first, then move on to the killers if necessary.
