Hi everyone! I just wanted to come on and let you know how I have been doing since taking the Nopal. I believe I am in remission!! I honestly am not sure if the nopal is what did it...but it is the only thing I have done different health wise. Spring is also a bad time for me with flaring, so this is really great to be where I am right now!! I have had no symptoms for 5 weeks...! To me, this is success as I have been on and off flaring for a year. I have my fingers crossed that I stay in remission...will post again in another month. Take care!

Congrats. That's great news. We are hearing positive things about Nopal more and more on this forum. Very interesting.

It's the Nopal uprising!

I have to try some of this stuff. Glad it is working for you.

I believe rbartolo posted about it helping her recently as well.

That's great. Just out of curiousity, what other treatments are you doing?

I tried it and I didn't notice any improvement but maybe I didn't give it long enough. I also know how these UC treatments work for some and not for others. Even the most powerful drugs don't work for everyone so we have to be aware that different things work for different people. I am just happy it's working for you and a few others. Drinking cactus juice is much more appealing than taking tons of medications.

the only other treatment is two salafalk tablets daily which I never quit...even in remission I keep up with just two per day.

How much juice did you drink? I'm noticing small improvements, but I'm wondering if I drink it more often will I have greater results? I take about a cup in the morning, and one at night.

honestly, I only take an ounce in the morning on an empty stomach.

I drank 2 -3 full glasses a day and I had no result. :(

Well, guess I'll just continue what I'm doing then! I've been doing it for almost 2 weeks, and have had small improvements but I'm in a bad flare going 15x a day still, so it's not going to be significant improvements overnight.

I am so sorry notsosicklygirl, like I said, I am not sure if its the nopal or not but it is the only thing I have added or changed. I am not going to stop it though to find out, I just hope the remission stays.
My flares have always been moderate...never severe churey360. 4-5x a day at most for me. If you are seeing small results, that's fantastic..keep with it to see how you do.

Maybe the progress was from the imuran? I think I would stay the course with what you were doing if you were having good results. Keep going with imuran and keep going with the nopal.

Add the Imuran back.

How much Nopal does one take?
Posted 4/9/2016 11:04 PM (GMT 0)
Are capsules or juice better and how many mg?
