Try adjusting foods so you can stay in remission for longer periods of time if you only go into remission for short duration. I know theres no evidence saying that food causes UC.
I could not find any offical writings on prednisone and whether it was good or bad, but I did talk with a few pharmacists that held their doctorates in their fields and they told me there should be no interactions. I also talked/chatted with some other people that were in the same situation and nothing bad was reported by them. But I should mention I was on a maintenance dose of prednisone ranging from 5-10mgs. Most people are usually taking a lot more than that (about 40mg then tapering off) well I tried tapering off prednisone but my symptoms returned. Doctor then said I was steroid (pred.) dependant. But if someone were to tell me they are on 40mgs of prednisone, that to me would indicate that the disease/symptoms are sever and I would also not recommend it.
I'll write more about my own experience, and I'll try to dig up some information for you.
