Hi all

I am a new to this blog and a new UC sufferer.

My western doctor so far only has got to a diagnosis; it took 6 months of colonoscopy and many tests .. this is because I did not have significant symptoms at the beginnings. He tried antibiotic guessing it might be diverscular, he says UC but needs one more colonoscopy.. I am scared to go onto steroids.

I reseached Qing Dai ..it sounds worth a try...so I bought a small bag o Isatis Tinctoria powder ( labeled Qing Dai) .. I am not sure that it is the same as Indigo Naturlis. But hesitating to take the first mouthful at this stage.

I observe that this thread has gone quiet.. for a number of years .. Why ? I would like to know how the early users of Qing Dai have fared ... on long term treatment ... over one year ?? Is there any comments on this from the members

I am happy to call USA or anywhere to discuss privately.

It is still in my regimen. A good 4 years should have passed since I started it. I take 1g every couple of days. More of it makes my stools thin and sticky. However it is a powerful weapon, especially helpful with blood. One time that I decided to stop it I had a relapse of bowel haemorrhage. You should give it a try.

What's a trustworthy brand that ya'll use? I'm going to acupuncture for the first time in about a year and going to ask them about it (they practiced in China). I was doing acupuncture for a few months after first being diagnosed in Dec. 2015 and I remember her wanting to give me some herbs for my UC but was skeptical since I was Pred and Remicade at the time.

I actually bought my bulk powder from ebay.

Heya,
I'm still taking my 1-1.5gm a day (though I do forget some days), and am still having good results. My last blood test was two months ago, and my liver function has returned to normal, so it does not appear to be having a negative effect there.

ColonFerrel,
I posted a link to the one I use in one of my original posts on this thread a while back. Which I know Jane974 found suspicious.. but whatever.. I did it because like you, I knew people would ask for brand recommendations.

I stopped bleeding the day I took Qing Dai. Also started to eat better food

First zero inflammation in 28 years, so I guess it worked.

Been taking it for a week and like most people, it's too hard to tell if it's doing anything since I'm doing so much else (uceris, lialda, vsl3, fermented foods, intermittent fasting, fish oil, wormwood, multivitamins, wheatgrass, juicing, etc, etc). The research seems somewhat promising so I decided to chance it. Unless the people who try it want to risk going off their meds the only way to really tell if it's working is to take it consistently for at least a month and then stop taking it to see if there's a difference. These things take time and there are too many other variables to say whether or not any remedy is effective.

eekseel, I've been taking it consistently since the end of August 2016. I pretty much stopped taking my other prescription meds (lialda) around December when I ran out. I've since renewed my prescription, but have been holding it in reserve rather than taking it. So I've been exclusively on Qing Dai since Dec... still having great results.
