Hope This Helps...

Hi everyone. Long time no see. about 3 months ago I went thru a 2 week acute flare induced from a Zpak antibiotic cycle. Hated to take it but a rather nasty strain of bacteria was affecting my esophagus. My choice was stop swallowing or take the Zpak.
I managed to control the flare and went back into remission. Since then I have tweaked a few things that have proven in 3 months to be rather beneficial (for me at least). I have had UC for a minute now and this is by far the best stuff I have done so far as getting into and remaining in remission. My frequency and consistency of BM has been better than it has been in many years. Trust me Ive just about tried it all. I just had to pop by for a bit and share what I could.
A wise Chinese proverb once said if one stumbles upon something that benefits self they are under a moral obligation to share. Well hopefully this will provide some help or at least spark a few new ideas. Anyway, here goes..

For months I had been toying with a hybrid of the paleo diet and food combination chart. This worked very very well. However there were too many restrictions and thus I changed it a bit to suit me. Basically the change was to follow many of paleo food items yet add a few starches and whole grains. I alos added more fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, kefir, etc. We lack alot of bacterial diversity our ancestors possessed so I feel getting back to that mentality was helpful.
The food combinations stayed the same. The more I followed it my stool consistency steadily improved. I noticed quickly that when I deviated from the combination chart my BMs would start to get a bit mushy.

I am in no way pushing anything on anyone or trying to pimp some diet regimen. Just noting what worked for me personally.

In addition to this I found other invaluable concoctions that have become rather synergistic with the aforementioned dietary realignment. It helped rip me out of the flare and is still in heavy rotation in conjunction with my diet.

The first is raw spinach juice cut with carrot and apple. As much as you can juice, afford, and drink.

Second is a probiotic mixture that has, IMO, been the keystone of it all:
1 cup of applesauce
1 capsule L. Plantarum 299v strain
1 capsule S. Boulardii + MOS capsule
empty capsules into the sauce and consume. Do this 3 times a day during flare. Once a day a few weeks after. Once every 3-4 days maintenance dose. You will know when to switch it up.

1/2 tbsp psyllium husk powder in 8 oz water taken 3 times a day. When BMs stop floating and start tightening up, you know this is working. S. Boulardii can be added to this as well for a bonus effect.

5-10g BCAA powder instantized taken in the morning or cut into smaller doses and consumed throughout the day for better absorption. 10g L-Glutamine at bedtime.

For the past 2 months I have been working alot with kombucha and water kefir grains. I will try and post in awhile how that is working out. So far so good though.

This is just my personal opinion and what I have done recently. I am not a doctor yet and this is done at your own risk. Take from it what you wish or nothing at all. Hope this helps give some ideas or relief. If any decide to try some portion of it and it works in any facet, please pass it along.

thank you for sharing!
