After 5 years of ulcerative colitis suffering finally feel much better!

It's great that the clay has helped you. I just read a little about it. Is it the minerals and trace minerals in the clay that benefits UC? Do you have a link to a website with some good info?

thanks

Did you use any other supplements with the clay? Or just the clay alone. Can you tell us which brand you ordered?

It is a complicated answer. I guess it is minerals, ionic charge, ability to detox by pulling the bad stuff(bacteria and toxins) out and so much more. There is a detailed explanation and research on one website, if you just type Terramin clay, you will see. As for Pascalite clay, just type the name and you will find it. I do not think moderators will like me to put the websites here. Just type Terramin clay research. I am so glad you listened and got interested!
If you ever read about PH and how it affects the body, I can tell you after taking clay my Ph (urine, not blood) is much more alkaline, around 7.6! The higher PH the better environment for healing, bad bacteria die and good bacteria thrive. I sound like an advertisement again, sorry!

I would like to know where you sourced it and start there. I can activate an email addy under my profile if that is how we have to exchange the info.

Thanks

Thanks. I just ordered TERRAMIN TABLETS - 1 GRAM (250 COUNT).

I have not seen blood in almost 2 years. That flare was so bad I could not ride my motorcycle or turn in the truck unless it was slow gentle turn. I was headed to the hospital when my Dr agreed to change my meds to sulfasalazine and Librax - instantly the blood stopped but it took 2 months to taper down from 100mg prednisone that was ineffective but contributed to a stroke or a thrombosis ( Sagital Sinus Thrombosis ) which resulted in paralysis and a $64,000 ICU stay. 18 months later I am no longer on any meds as I got the blood thinner terminated early and pitched the rest. I have better memory now than I did before the stroke and zero loss of any motor function. I just pulled off a near personal best year in income finishing in 2nd place working up to 100 hours per week with next to no sleep for months at a time. I had a custom home built 4x the size of my last one, we just moved in and I found a buyer for the old one yesterday. Complete and total reversal of circumstances. Pride goeth before the fall so I am leery.

I now have a walk-in pantry with lots of shelves for my thousands of supplements I have attempted. Making slow food with daughter in a gourmet kitchen now too.

I will be chucking all the supplements except for :

-purified water from Vitamin Cottage
-Curcumin, Turmeric
-Apple pectin
-Psyllium seed & powder
-Pure green protein
-vitamins

I will keep on hand the following :

- clay
- untried mineral ph water thing
- untried barley malt thing
- sulfasalazine
- mebaverine
- VSL#3DS

Your approach sounds similar, wanting to only take your natural remedy to know it is what is working for you. I eat a lot of chicken, salmon, Harvest seeded bread and almond butter - oh and eggs.

My BM tempo is once daily in the morning after a stimulant of coffee or preworkout drink. Like today I skipped the day before so sometimes its 48 hours.

I avoid booze,soft drinks, milk and juices. Creatine products are a big no-no for me. I drink water + ultima electrolyte powder and coconut water.

Congratulations on finding a way out of your flare that is really something to hang onto, feel good about and build upon.

We've used clay before but I was told it was not to be used long term? It basically helps calm a flare in my understanding by absorbing toxins in the gut and removing them from the body? But then you have to replace bacteria (probiotics), health the gut lining (seacure, slippery elm etc), treat any underlying infection/parasite (wild oregano oil, gse, colloidal silver etc), so it's usually one of the more minor elements in a more established protocol. But you used just the clay to get you into remission with nothing else? Do you also used it daily for maintenance?

Thanks for the info! I can't remember the type of clay, it started with M and was from a mountain in France? It helped someone else I know. I'll look into the above. I hope your success with it continues.

Yeah, that's the one. I don't know too much about it, I used it on the recommendation of a naturopath and a friend whose son had some success with it in conjunction with a bunch of other stuff.

If you have SEVERE ulcerative pancolitis try Pascalite clay, it has very strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.

Just thought i'd add this info i found about the product i bought:

"
Hydrated Bentonite is a natural clay that comes from volcanic ash. It contains a variety of smectite minerals and montmorillonite clay. Therapeutically, when taken internally, it supports the intestinal system in the elimination of toxins due to its ability to ‘adsorb’ toxins and other molecules from watery environments. Also, Bentonite can absorb toxins on the surface of the skin and can also be useful for acne when applied to the face and neck at night.

INGREDIENTS:
Nature’s Sunshine’s Hydrated Bentonite is made by suspending microfine USP-grade bentonite in purified water.
Each 15mL dose contains 730mg of Microfine Bentonite.

DOSE:
For Adults take 15mL by metric measure twice daily, or mix with water as desired as an intestinal absorbant and as an aid for detoxification via the alimentary canal.

Shake well before use. Refrigerate after opening.

"

Sounds to me like Pascalite Clay (aka calcium bentonite) since it says it's derived from "volcanic ash". So good to take?

Does anyone think this is spam? JW, new to group and trying to sell product. I'm being septical that's all. However, I read the info and it sounds promising. I hope it works for those that are buying it, keep posting us on how you are doing please. Thank you

Please don't be upset, I've been around this site a long time, I've tried everything! I did call the earth company, the guy was not very helpful. He could have been more of a "cheerleader" for his product, he was just.... blah. I would rather try an all natural route trust me, I've tried all medications. I was just wondering about you since you popped in just the other day with a product, I was curious..... I appreciate you sharing.

PLEASE keep posting your progress, don't leave us, we need to hear alternative avenues.

Thank you.

Hi again,

I did order some, what do I have to lose? I looked back at some of my post and tried Bentine clay before, I probably spelt that wrong, but that made me bleed. Was that a swelling kind I wonder? I took it with pysillum powder back then too.

I will post my finding. How long after you started (how much did you start with by the way?) did you notice an improvement?

Thanks for helping.
