Updates from those on sunflower seed/spinach diet

Good to hear Love4Cats, hope the remission and the diet continue working so well for you!

interesting- do you eat grains as well or just the sunflower and spinage. I love banans. I did use banans and spiance to help me with D once. it really worked. but i didn't eat any breads or gluten products that day.

     I eat spinach at least three times a week.  The sunflower seeds I do without because I also have diverticulosis and cannot eat seeds of any kind.  I don't credit the spinach for remission.  I find that remission comes when it darn well pleases to come.  Usually my flares last on the average of three months.  Last year I had a doozy of a flare, hospitalized for ten days and the flare lasted seven months.  This last flare...hopefully in remission now...lasted from mid May till about two weeks ago.

     If I wanted to give credit to remission, it goes to a combo of meds (prednisone, 6MP, Colazal, Cort enemas and Canasa) and the chiropractor who also does acupuncture.  Think I will continue going to him.  Off the prednisone now, continuing with the 6MP and Colazal...no enemas or suppositories.

Adam 1184, I eat baby spinach in my salads, I prefer raw over cooked. I know others eat canned spinach.

I started seeing results in about a week. I was pretty much in remission at the time, but adding the sunflower seeds really got me over the hump to being fully normal.

I'm still in remission from eating spinach and sunflower seeds frequently. Been In remission over three years now! Pretty weird how these foods provide some of us with the right nutrients we need to get in and stay in remission!

So sorry to hear that Potato.

Love for cats i eat raw spinace too. really helped with forming the stool. this didn't work for me wile eating grains. I had to give up the complex carbs for it to work.
