I read on the Chrohns forum that Glucosamine was supposed to be brilliant for Proctitis - anyone else heard about this? I ordered it today and will take right away.

I have been dealing with proctitis for over 3 years and upon researching this past weekend I also read about someone who had really bad proctitis who swears glucosamine did the trick for them. I too started taking it.

Noticed any difference yet? You using Jarrow brand?

Well I only have two doses in and my joints feel better (I have arthritis). As for the proctitis I think it is way too early to tell as I have read that it may take a couple months. I am using CVS brand glucosamine chondrortin.

I tried it and it made my symptoms worse. It's like all supplements - try it, see if it helps.

I have some and take it EOD and never noticed anything positive from it. The literature was great but it just does not pan out for me.

I'm skeptical on this. Glucosamine is for joint pain....how would it help rectal intestinal inflammation?

They repair the intestines; and improve function apparently.

This is why bone broth is good for us, if you make a true bone broth it is full of glucosamine which heals the intestines and leaky gut.

I have been taking it for 5 days, haven't noticed anything different yet.

I have been taking NAG for a while. My UC is in remission but even otherwise none of the supplements or probiotics give me wow effect but I assume that they are doing something inside (from published literature), so I keep taking it.
