Lodi,
Proteolytics cannot act on the important things if there is food in your stomach. They will only digest that food and you get none of the systemic benefits. My stomach is often very slow to transit. So, I take enzymes right before bed and then when I get up I drink a glass of room temp water with a slice of lemon for its enzymes and to try and to encourage my intestines to start moving. Then take more enzymes. I believe it has been the single biggest help to my internal scar tissue.

I usually eat breakfast so that I can buffer certain supplements that I take (after taking probiotics on an elty stomach usually an hour before breakfast), but I agree it certainly isnt a necessary meal. The lion does not eat a liesurly meal and then go out and kill a wildebeast. She spends a bunch of energy on a hunt and then feasts. We arent lions but the same would have applied to your typical hunter/gatherer.

InSoFla,

I'm weaning off of prednisone...currently at 25mg, this is the level where things went downhill for me at my last attempt to wean. When I went from 30 to 25mg, my frequency went a bit higher and also BMs are happening throughout the day instead of mostly in the morning.I'm extremely nauseated after I take my morning drugs (prednisone, Imuran and mesasal). On the positive side, I'm having mostly solid stools, infrequent blood and I have a minute or so warning as far as urgency goes, this is an improvement from three weeks ago when I was still having multiple accidents throughout the day. Also, the middle of the night BMs have stopped.

Morning Glory tomorrow!

PathogenKiller, thanks and glad I asked. I think I may have asked you about those before (or you talked about them on a thread) but I must not have taken the time to look into it. The link you posted is going to take some time, hopefully this afternoon. How long have you done this? what is the scar tissue from? I don't have a slow stomach at all, would this therapy still be helpful?

The concept looks super interesting, along the lines of autophagy do you think?

As soon as I get up I have applesauce with my VSL and coffee. I wait until I get to work and then I have a bowl of oatmeal. My weekly breakfast is oatmeal. On the weekends, I usually eat eggs for breakfast.

Lodi,

Glad to hear that on the positive side you're having better BMs.

I hope you'll feel less exhausted, etc... soon too.

Take good care. :-)

I have discovered too that skipping the morning meal and just eating lunch and dinner is the best. Normally, if I eat or drink anything more than water, I will be in the bathroom at least 5-10 times in the morning which is not conducive to productivity at work. Plus, there are way too many women in my building and having to wait can be brutal.

However, my proctitis is fairly calm if I wait to eat lunch. Then I eat dinner at least 4 hours before bed. I have also trained myself to be able to take my meds and supplements in the morning with water without my body screaming to go potty. So for now, this is what works. In a few months, who knows? I stopped fighting my body and just adjust.
