Cure for ulcerative colitis

I will try it. I just have to go to the market and find it. I think if I pick it off a trail I will probably get the wrong thing, lol, my luck stinks. I think I know a market that will have it

I have been doing this regime for couple of days now. I think its helping me little with the pain. I'm not sure about the extent because my symptoms were already better. But I can feel its cooling my body.

I finally found a Mexican grocery store here that has some. Going tomorrow to get some. How long do the leaves stay fresh? I'd like to buy enough for a couple weeks since it's not convenient for me to get to this store.

mah -- I think the fruit is different than the leaves but it's the same plant.

The store was out of the whole cactus leaves/pads, but they did have a big bag that was already cut up for use in cooking/salads. The owner said 1 bag was equivalent to about 4 leaves and it was cheap --$2.99 for the whole bag! I split up the bag into 4 smaller bags. The only downside was that the pieces were pretty small so it took a little while to get them sliced up. The flesh between the skin wasn't very gel like though so not sure what that means -- maybe not fully ripe? It's soaking now and tomorrow will be my first glass. The owner said he'll have a new supply on Tuesday of the whole pads so I might go back in then to get some, but I didn't want to wait and at least I didn't have to deal with any thorns lol Will post an update after I've been drinking this stuff for a few days.

Would be nice is the subject line of this thread could be changed to "Nopal for ulcerative colitis" because the word "cure" really rubs people the wrong way.

Apart from whether it is beneficial for ulcerative colitis or not it is said that prickly pear has a constipating effect anyway.

King of the Toilet is what I've been in my family's house these past few weeks, I'd love to relinquish this title x_x

Does anyone know where I can get this in Canada online? Not sure of any shops that would carry it, I've tried calling around but no luck.

Those were for pills or some sort of extract. I'm wanting to get the actual cactus pads. Someone posted some from Ebay but with shipping and what not up to Canada it would be very expensive long term. That may be my only option though.

Look what I got for 50 cents. 1drv.ms/15glJuM
I just have to figure out what to do with it. It's prickly.

I will go back to page 1 and read the instructions.

For those of you who are lazy, such as myself:

Smart thinking notsosicklygirl, I was wondering myself if the tablets wouldn't be the same as getting a fresh leaf.

I'm super interested to find out how this works for others. Always fun and interesting trying these home remedies :)

Just a thought - Could one not simply source the plant itself out at say a gardening store? So just buy/order a bunch of whole plants from the garden centre somewhere?
