smilewinkgrin I am sooooo happy! I finally came to a breaking point in how I have been feeling since June. I went to the doctor yet again and had to explain the cramps and the contractions and the puking for the 8 time in 2 months. 3 new meds with nasty nasty side effects and I had them all of course.
So on Monday last week I took my son to his soccer game and there is an indoor tract so I started walking. I walked for 5kms. I felt great. I then went to the grocery store and saw pomegranates on sale so I bought a bunch. I ate two the first day( not the seeds. I spit them out. Just the juice). Anyway the next day I walked my five kms and had two more pomegranates and guess what no pain. I stopped my new pills and kept the walking and pom's. I FEEL GREAT!!! I don't know what it really is that worked but I have not felt this great in years!!! Who knew? I don't recommend this to anyone but I am just happy for once and needed to share!

That's great for you. Here is to hoping pom and walking are the tickets to a better life for you. UC is a strange beast. The other week, out of nowhere, I was having constipation... after months and months of diarrhea and blood. Now I'm back to normal again, meaning diarrhea. Get back to us in a couple of days. I hope your symptoms will stay at bay for a long time.

Funny I just brought one home to show the strange fruit to my daughter.

POM juice I suspected as not being tolerated well and stopped. Referring to the bottled juice POM.

I love pomegranates. The juice is okay sometimes but the juice from the fruit itself is amazing. I spend time getting all the seeds in a cup then have a swirl and spit the seeds out)

It is funny. I don't like the Pom Wonderful bottled juice but the fruit is great. I don't know what will happen after Christmas when there are no more left. Oh well I am not going to worry right now! I am going to enjoy my time right now! So happy!

this is funny. i always liked the pom wonderful juice but then last year, my friend gave me a pomegranate fruit basket. i ended up throwing all of them away because i don't understand the point of the fruit- why work so hard chewing on such a small amount of flesh. i'm more of a lazy fruit person- just give me an apple!

Wohoo! Congrats on feeling better.

I was actually going to ask for advice on eating pomegranites, haha. I'm kind of like bananagirl in that respect. That's the same reason I don't like chicken wings.

I love the taste of pomegranates, I don't tend to drink juice of any kind.

Bought a pom yesterday. Just found this video about how to cut and eat it. Interesting that the seeds can be kept (frozen) and eaten in salads.
