Standard Process Gastrex and Okra

So I thought I'd share my experience since a google search on here didn't turn up any info.

As some of you know, I've been having a flare since October or so. Mostly bad cramps, nausea, felt colon was inflamed - some blood (also have a hemi so it's hard for me to know what's causing the blood) In any event, the enema's seemed to make things worse. Canasa 2 times a day and 4 Llialda was about all that my GI gave me. A guy I go to for chinese medicine (Tunia - which has been a real help when my stomach symptoms were bad) suggested Standard Process supplements - I take Okra Pepsin E 3 1 hour before meals 3 x a day and 2 Gastrex with meals 3 times a day.

Gotta say, it's been the best my stomach has felt in weeks.

Not sure if any one else has used these or your experiences, but figured someone out there might benefit so I'd pass it along.

yeah iPoop - I don't think this is chinese medicinal herbs - (although my chinese medical guy was the one who made the connection) - I'm pretty sure these are sold through chiropractors and doctors. I did some google research and they seem to have a pretty good track record. For those who are looking for something to try, just another alternative. It's only been a week for me, so I'm far from a case study, but definitely feeling better

okra can affect serotonin levels (namely increase them). I know there have been studies regarding UC and gut mucosal levels of serotonin. Cant recall at the moment the results of the studies though
