What is essential and most important in healing the intestinal walls? Supplements and food wise?

According to my Naturopath, L-Glutamine. I haven't had a chance to try it yet since I'm breastfeeding.

My friends grandma swore by Aloe Vera Juice.

Second on the L-Glutamine. Nutritional seminar couple weeks ago guy was saying same.

L-glutamine, Mucosaheal (which contains l-glutamine), aloe vera (I recommend George's Roadrunner Aloe Vera Juice) and high doses of omega3 to reduce inflammation.

Do a search on l-glutamine and you'll find plenty of threads. In fact, we were just discussing it earlier in the week.

Hey Dr-A, I also take Lialda. I take 4 a day in the morning for a total of 4.8 grams a day. You only take 1 a day? It doesn't do nothing for me. Im also using canasa every night. I also have proctitis......


Thanks everyone for the comments. I will try the glutamine. I'm also gonna start the turmeric.

I actually quit taking the lialda. I was doing 4 a day and it did nothing for me, on top of me pooping them out. Too expensive to pass into the toilet, lol.

Probiotics can also be a beneficial tool in healing the mucosal lining (google VSL3).
