ulcerative colitis diet

Ulcerative colitis treatments?
I have ulcerative colitis in the last 20cm of the intestine (colon) and I've tried several different treatments including Asacol and salofalk drugs (pills, enemas etc), corticosteroids and azathioprine (Imuran), but it was no use, since the disease's syptoms remain. So I would be grateful if someone who managed to control this illness could answer me and tell me in short what drugs he/she used and whether he/she followed a diet (and what kind of diet). I know that there is always the surgical solution but it is my last option.
As regarding the cortisone it was Medrol 16mg
a new drug infliximab an anti-inflammatory drug also used for treating crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis is now used for ulcerative colitis
The medication is administered intravenously, with an initial regimen of three doses of infliximab, followed by maintenance infusions every eight weeks. Nearly 70 percent of patients receiving the drug experienced clinical response and remission early in the trial, and nearly all had significant results after one year of therapy.
