What's the latest on those taking CC Herbal?

Thanks for all the replies everyone - my son can't get over this flare so has got another course of pred. Still taking cc though. Is metamucil the same as psyllium husk?

Has been 2 wks now since I started taking 1 ccherbal along with my 9 Balsalazide and having good results still. 2-3 BM's a day & No blood, so cutting back on Balsalazide now, took 6 yesterday and no blood, so going to continue with that as long as things stay the same!! Taking the slippery elm pdr. last thing in evening now.

Just want to give an update... Hubby has been taking CCherbal and probiotics for a couple months now. He is still doing much better than he was prior to taking CCherbal. He's not out of the woods still... But there is definitely an improvement in the number of times he has to go during the day and night than before. He has a colonoscopy next month, so we'll see...

Didn't work reducing my Balsalazide, had some blood after 2 days, so back to prescribed dose. Still taking 1 CCherbal, will be a month on 30th, and in spite of traveling for 2 wks and not eating healthy, have had very small amt of blood at times. Still having 2-3 bm's first thing in morning mostly not formed & some cramping, but at least get it over with early. Do feel bloated most evenings. Have thought about increasing CCHERBAL to 2 a day & try cutting back on Med, but afraid to take a chance of flaring, may get brave & try it, since we're home.

@ ucwife, will be interested to hear about your husbands colonoscopy results, since he's been on CCH!

@Franny,
I'm still generally positive abt CCH, seems to be controlling the bleeding, which I think has to be positive! Had 4 loose BMs yesterday tho, crampy at times & bloaty, so decided to try 2 CCH, hoping more might help with that. Still having diarrhea this morning, using heating pad for cramps, not sure if I'll stay with 2 CCH today or go back to 1.....will see how my day goes!!

This is my first post anywhere about this. I'm a 30 year old Male who is just mentally and emotionally coming to terms with being diagnosed with colitis three years ago. 2014 was my worst year dealing with flair ups and colitis related issues. I read all your posts a little over a month ago and thought I should share my experience with CCherbal.

I have been taking CCherbal for over a month now. After 30 days I decided to order a 3 month supply. All year my flair ups had been up and down but in October and November I had a very serious one that wasn't getting any better. I went on a steroid for a week, started taking Mesalamine again, and got back on Fetzima to help me handle my stress. Stress is a major trigger for a majority of my flair ups. I've always taken fiber and I take probiotics and other vitamins on and off. My mom is a nurse and a patient told her about CCherbal. I was very skeptical since the website doesn't look medically professional but I wanted to try something different. I'm so sick of being on this flair up roller coaster.

I don't know yet if CCherbal was the miracle I was looking for or if it was the combination of everything but I haven't felt this good in over a year. December usually scares me to death because of all the running around, holiday parties, car rides, and normal holiday money stress. I thought I would be spending the entire month taking Loperamide or some other anti-diarrheal but I only took them before Christmas parties as a safety precaution. I feel so much better and i've been able to make it to work on time again. The stress of sitting in traffic without a restroom tends to make me late during a flair up.

I'm going to stop using Melamine this week and just try out the CCherbal, Fetzima, fiber, and probiotic. Hopefully this combination will work out for awhile because I would love to start running again this spring. It has been quite awhile since I felt comfortable enough to start running again.

I hope this helps anyone who might be skeptical like me. Maybe I will pop back on and give you an update soon. Thanks for all your posts they have really helped me.

I was able to come off all meds with Qing Dai and now I only take it as needed which is very seldom If I have the slightest symptom of a flare I pop one and it knocks it right out. When I had been flaring for over 3 years Qing dai gave me noticable results the first day. I believe it works at a cellular level, is anti inflammatory and anti bacteria, all of the things we could need. I'm so very grateful for it too.

For a bad flare, we need 3 a day. It can cause a mild headache and that means reduce the dose and slowly increase again. That was the only side effect.
