Am in remission currently.  But last night as per tradition we had saurkraut and pork at midnight.  Supposed to bring good luck.  That along with the usual beers for the holiday, as well as shrimp, spicy buffalo dip.......  All that equals miserable day today.  Not quite as bad as when I was flaring but wow...  Many many trips to the bathroom this morning.  I know I brought it on myself, but I just had to enjoy the holiday cause last year I couldn't because I was just coming out of a year long flare.  I think to be safe I'm going to up the spinach intake the next couple days....  Will probably even use the old butt meds again the next couple days just to be safe.  Oh well.  I guess it was worth it.  Anyways Happy New Year everyone.

If nothing else - you get a really good "cleaningout"!!  Happy New Year!

YES - up the butt meds - surely will help!

You should have gotten the fermented Sauerkraut from the refridgerated section in the health food store. I just got some pickles, I saw the kraut, almost got some but didn't.

happy new year! Hope you improve quickly.

I make a real good kielbasa & sauerkraut supper in the crock pot, with caraway seed, & mustard.. so good! It doesn't seem to bother me much, but if I had few brews with it, I'd be in trouble! I love cabbage, prepared any way- all I get from it is extra gas. I've been eating too much holiday treats also- since the week before Christmas, it seems like there's tons of candy, nuts, etc. around. I've managed to avoid the booze, & thankfully am back on my "regular" diet, but still...... a bit of digestive upset, for sure!

If anything I'd say the spicy shrimp and that dip did it, and maybe the pork, and the beer. I think sauerkraut's good for you. I forgot what's good about it though lol. But I guess if it was only a couple beers that prolly wouldn't do much either.

Sauerkraut/pork is a folk-cure for hangover, LOL. Well, my colon couldn't take that, no way! So far so good with a tulip glass of brut champagne + baguette with properly ripe Brie, mmmm! Hope you make a fast recovery, Bubba-- take care. / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

took the butt meds last night. Been up for an hour and so far no bathroom trips. Guess I'm back to normal. Of course.... now its back to the diet regime.

Hey Eva Lou, I am catching up on old posts after being away for a few weeks.  Any chance you could post your recipe for this, or email it to me?  I'm a big fan of the crock pot, and this sounds so good.  Never made anything like it before and I'd love to try it!

here it is- I LOVE sausage, sauerkraut, anything German... part of my heritage, I suppose! If for whatever reason the link doesn't work, I got it from allrecipes.com. Break out the crockpot, rye bread, & beer...yum!!!!!

Hey Eva Lou, Me too, I would love to see some of the details of that recipe, that sounds real tasty! both my wife and I love sauerkraut as well!

Good Luck also Unclebubab on getting over your current ordeal. Are you going to do this ritual of your again next year?
