What are your signs that remission is on its way?

Glad to read that you feel you are turning a corner.
What are you taking for it?

For me I noticed a big difference in the smell of my bowel movements -- from really putrid to normal, I guess. That's when I turned a corner.

Then it was weight gain because my food was staying in me.

Then the frequency died down to one to three times a day.

Then I had a flex sigmoidoscopy which showed I was free of disease and inflammation.

Still a little crampy when I have a BM but I believe that's kind of normal for me.

Urgency is still an issue, but mostly when I'm in the house.

I began to notice that the cramping was starting to become less frequent. Then the bloating
went away and I could start to button my pants and tighten my belt back up. My appetite
began to increase. Mentally, I finally reached a point where I didn't have to plan my
errands around locations with bathrooms. Eventually I got to the point where I realized
that I hadn't gone to the bathroom at all that day. Good luck with your remission, and don't
take it for granted. Bye now...

I would say remission is the absence of blood, but I am way passed that now, everything is perfectly normal, its either the vitamin D3 or the large amount of aloe juice I am drinking. I used many aloe products in the past, one came all the way from England - aloeride I think, none of them did anything. But this stuff I am drinking now is 99% pure aloe and I drink a lot. I think its helps with the alkaline diet, that coupled with the elimination of vitamin D absorption problems and I am doing great knock on wood. Drinking a gallon of milk a week now is also going to help with the Vitamin D deficiency, I should probably only resort to injections when flaring and absorption is compromised. Elimination diets are great but I also read and believe that we need to have as much variety as possible, never eat the same thing until another 5 days pass.
