I've read a few forum posts on Healing Well about how effective Qing Dai is, of course it doesn't work for everyone. But I've decided to give it a go.

I found this on eBay and wanted to know if this is what people have been using:

Some other have recommended buying from Acuatlanta but they give you a lot less:

Also, I'm not sure whether to take it with my current medicine. I'm assuming I would and if Qing Dai works, I'd slowly come off my pentasa and azathioprine/allopurinol?

I believe aguywithuc knows this. I am also not sure if it is to be taken with medications or not. I was going to order some King Die off acuatlanta.

Best.

I'm pretty sure you can take it with meds. If you get better, don't ignore the possibility that it is the combo that is working and that reducing meds could make you worse.

King Die is the funny pronunciation of Qing Dai. I believe it was introduced by soystud (a user on this forum).

Yep I'll defo take that on board. I'll be monitoring myself as I reduce to see the effects. If it worsens I'll just put it back to how it was. Thanks G.

Haha oh right, feel a bit silly now. Are you ordering the one I posted? Just want to ensure I order the correct stuff.

I was eyeing that one since it is easier for them to ship it from Atlanta, but I have not ordered it yet. Sorry I can't be of much help.

I bought my qing dai from the exact ebay seller you posted. It's legit.

I would strongly urge you not to quit your prescribed uc medications. Rather, I would suggest you use Qing Dai with your current uc medications. If Qing Dai works for you then awesome, less terrible uc symptoms to deal with.

Are you on allopurinol too? I was trying to find someone on here who is currently on it along with aza. You must, like me, not able to metabolize it properly by itself. How long have you been on the combo? And have you been ok on it and maintained remission?

Hey sorry for seeing this so late.

Yeah I haven't seen anybody else on here who takes allopurinol either. I've been taking the combination for 16 weeks tomorrow and the past 2/3 weeks I've been getting side effects from my aza (I only just realised a couple days ago). Within 20 minutes I get severe bloating. I'm calling my GI tomorrow to seek advice.

For me it's been a VERY slow progress but I'm on 25g of aza and will be asking for my dosage to be increased as I haven't hit remission. I've been kinda suffering with my flare up since August. But I hit a big improvement last week by taking pentasa suppositories.

Hello I guess we all buy from the same ebay seller. I was just thinking if there is any way to test it at home if it does not contain some heavy metals, since it is probably not tested by anyone and nothing can be guaranteed and I have heard chinese medicine contains HM sometimes since its not tested. I already used it once for about year and it seems it really helped me, I stopped using it about four months ago, because I did not have any more of it and also because I was kinda affraid if it really contains what it says and if there are not some heavy metals in it. Also I wanted to see if it works, if I will flare up again and about two weeks ago quite bad flare up really came. Im gonna order again, but if you knew how to test it for those heavy metals, it would be great.
