Alternative treatments that work.

This post is about any alternative treatment that works for you. I'm not saying it has to be a "cure", just an affective treatment that doesn't have horrendous side effects. FMT, homeopathy, diet, ayurvedic, integrative medicine, etc. This is goin to be a positive post about the topic and I'm asking for things that have worked. If you've tried one of these and it didn't help please don't post on here just to tell me something didn't work. When I visit this forum I can't help but notice te endless negativity by some posters and hopeless mindset. I understand exactly how terrible this disease can be. I also understand that for some of us there may not be a good answer at all. But what I want to hear is what has worked. If something has worked for you, why do you think it worked? What is your theory behind why this has helped? If you live in Texas or a contiguous state and have a doctor or practitioner you recommend I would appreciate it. If you would like me to pray for you just let me know, I believe greatly in the power of prayer :)
God Bless and thank you in advance

Nicotine. Not totally sure why but i dont care!!

Resistant starch, in the form of potato starch mixed into water. I drink 2-3 tbsp per day, in remission. When I was flaring, I drank the potato starch but also ate lots of cold mashed potatoes, white rice, noodles. There are lots of posts about "resistant starch" if you want to research that. Simply put, it helps repair damaged cells in the colon. When I was flaring, it helped to firm up my BMs.

Is there any specific resistant starch that you use. And where do you get it?

A few people buy banana flour but there are resistant starches in some normal foods such as cold potatoes, cold pasta (rice too I believe), and several different types of beans, just to name a few.

I think that is the banana flour you are talking about.

CaseyMac, I use potato starch and yes it is a powder that you stir in water and drink. I just get it from the grocery store. I have bought it at Thrifty Foods and also Superstore. I'm sure you can get it in most grocery stores.

Curcumin and resistant starch. See my signature.
