turning towards natural products

So I just made the big move from the West Coast to the East Coast. We drove for 3 days and I did really well. A month before we moved our insurance decided not to cover Lialda anymore and put me on Pentasa instead. At this point I was still bleeding, had mucus, and was going to the bathroom around 10-15 times a day. Also I was on 60 mg of Pred. Then I read on here about all these other options. Oh I am so thankful for that. I got some oregano oil pills. Started taking them and had a wee bit of an improvement. Then I read that the oil was better. Had to get what they had at GNC since we were moving soon and I couldn't wait for the strong one from Greece.
Then I ordered the Thorne Isatis. I went with this one before buying CCHerbal to see if I had a reaction to it. Got a little bit better from that. Ok I am starting to feel like I am rambling here. Sorry my thoughts get scattered easily. So we have been in Pa for about a month. I quit the Pentasa about a week after I got here. Not by choice but because our insurance ran out and the new one hasn't kicked in yet and won't for 3 months. I got the CCHerbal and WOO last week and for the most part all the blood, mucus, and multiple trips to the bathroom are gone. I don't think I am "cured" or even in remission, mainly because I still have bad days although only 2 in 2 weeks and both times when I ate pretzels. I was on a bunch of probiotics and kefir but they all gave me horrible pain and mucus so I stopped them and felt better although that worries me because I am supposed to take those things. I guess my question is how can I get some good bacteria back into my system without causing damage or a flare again? I tried 5 different probiotics at a couple of weeks each because I know it takes time for anything to work properly. I don't want to end up in the hospital again as that was the most scared I have ever been. Any advice out there???

That is one of them that I haven't tried. When my husband gets paid I will order some from amazon. I just don't want to end up with more damage in some way because my body doesn't have any of the good guys

I'm from Pittsburgh actually and since I got sick I just wanted to come home. Married a Utah boy and the health care system where we were was horrible. I have tried kimchi and it didn't like me, but I eat sauerkraut an chance I can get. love that stuff. I have not tried fermented veggies but only because I don't know anything about them

thank you so much for the replies. I Have read through so many posts on here since I found this site and everyone's tips and knowledge has saved not only my life but my sanity and I will forever be grateful!!!!!
