Black Cumin Seed oil + probiotic supplement (multi strain) + fiber supplement = goodbye rectal bleed

1. Black Cumin Seed (Nigella sativa) oil
2. Probiotics supplement (multi strain)
3. Fiber supplement (a prebiotics that enhances probiotics)

1+2+3 = goodbye rectal bleeding and colitis!

I was on antibiotics and an accutane generic for nearly 6 months. My GI tract was wrecked aftwards. Watery stool, followed by inflammation of the colon and rectum, constipation, puss in stool, bloody stool, daily rectal bleeding with every bowel movement.

After tons of research and trial and errors, my problems are gone, thanks to the above mentioned solutions. More details below on the Black Cumin Seed oil for those who are skeptical:

Note: After the bad bacteria is significantly reduced so that they cannot create GI problems, it is important that the good bacteria (probiotics) are restored in the GI tract. This is achieved by:

[*] Taking probiotics supplement (multi trains).
[*] To keep the good bacteria striving, we need to eat foods that promote and sustain them (prebiotics). Google search for a list of good prebiotics. A simple and effective prebiotics from my experience is fiber supplements.

Good luck and good health to you all! God bless!

This is somewhat similar to what is in my signature and what I find so effective. My fiber supplement of choice is powdered psyllium seed which is broken down by gut bacteria and probiotics into butyrate which nourishes the cells lining the colon.

Haven't tried black cumin seed yet. But curcumin may perform the same function, perhaps not as efficiently.

Glad you're feeling better and thanks for sharing. The fiber and probiotics are pretty commonly used here, nothing new there. The Black Cumin Seed I haven't heard of before, so that's new.

Just remain vigilant of flare symptoms returning, keep up with inflammation tests (CRP blood test, FCP stool test, and/or colonoscopies) and GI visits to ensure that the inflammation is truly gone. And do not be afraid of the anti-inflammatory mesalamines, should you need them.

Just noticed your signature... "Nature created all of the locks, therefore Nature has all of the keys." Amen!!!

Thank you! The fiber being a prebiotic was new to me. I had no idea until recently. Always thought it was just to help with constipation, but didn't know of its subtle benefits!

Amen about being vigilant! It is a war that we cannot afford to ever let our guards down!

Show the link for the product you use.

The very first black cumin seed oil that worked was by this brand that I found at a local Indian grocery store:

Kalonji is the Indian (Hindi) name for Black Cumin seed. I cannot read Hindi, so I cannot tell you what its brand name is. But if you search ebay or amazon or Google for Kalonji oil, you should be able to find the box that looks like the one above.

Here is a list of the name of Black Cumin seed in different languages, should you need them:

Another brand that I currently use is by homelikegrandmas. This is on ebay and amazon. They sell a large 32oz bottle, so it's less expensive in the long run than the Indian brand I got. Both are great.

Best of luck to you! Cheers!

WHAT 3 THINGS I DID
---------------------------------------


STEP 1. Get a high purity Black Cumin Seed (Nigella sativa) oil.
------------------------------------------------------------------

You can buy Black Cumin seed oil from local Indian, Middle Eastern, or Israeli markets. But the easiest place to buy is online from eBay and Amazon.

If you're buying online, beware that some companies dilute their oil to make more profit, so it's important that you know that the quality can vary greatly
and do not give up if you don't see noticeable results (bleeding stop within a week). Just go find a different brand!

The brands that I had great results with were: A) Kalonji oil (by Ashwin) and B) Black Cumin seed oil (by HomeLikeGrandmas)
AVOID the following brands that sell low quality oil: A) cocojojo-cosmetics and B) organicpureoil


STEP 2. Get a Probiotic supplement (multi strain)
-------------------------------------------------

The human digestive tract has hundreds of different strains (types) of good bacteria that protect us from disease causing bacteria.
When we take certain medications (antibiotics), these good bacteria gets wiped out, and the bad bacteria grow and cause diarrhea, inflammation, and more.
Killing bad bacteria is not enough. They will grow back and the problems return. To prevent this, we need to restore as many of the good bacteria as possible.

Get a Probiotic supplement with multiple strains of good bacteria. The more strains, the better. Also, the number of live bacteria is important. I suggest you look for the highest rated Probiotic with the lowest price!

There is a company that does lab tests and reviews all types of supplements on the market: labdoor.com.



STEP 3. Get a Fiber supplement (Psyllium husk)
-------------------------------------------------

Fiber supplement has been really important in my recovery from colitis. It helped with reducing constipation, cleaning of my bowel, and helped with the stopping of
the bloody stool. Fiber is also one of the many prebiotics, which are basically food for probiotics, the good bacteria!

I have tried 2 types of fiber: dextrin (corn) fiber and psyllium husk fiber. Corn fiber did NOTHING. Psyllium husk fiber stopped my bleeding within 3 days!
Psyllium husk fiber is inexpensive. Look for any brand with the lowest price! No need to pay a fortune



------------------------------------------------------
HOW I TOOK THE SUPPLEMENTS THAT HELPED MY COLITIS
------------------------------------------------------


BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER:

• BEFORE EVERY TIME you eat, take 2-3 table spoons of Black Cumin Seed oil.
• Immediately AFTER you eat, take 2-3 table spoons of Black Cumin Seed oil.

• If you snack between meals, you need to take Black Cumin Seed oil again.
(Why? Because bad bacteria feed on the food that you eat. Taking Black Cumin Seed oil with food prevents the bad bacteria from growing when there is food.)

• Take Probiotics around 1 hour AFTER your meal (or on an empty stomach, according to Probiotic instruction)


BED TIME:

• BEFORE you go to bed (at least 1-2 hour AFTER DINNER), take 2-3 table spoons of Black Cumin Seed oil
• Take 1-2 teaspoons of fiber (psyllium husk)... and mix in 8 fl oz (230 ml) glass of water.
Wait for the fiber to form a gellatin after a few minutes, then drink it.


NOTE:

Drinking fiber at the end of the day is very important, because it helps push the food through the digestive track and clean it out. Within a day, you will notice that whenever you have a bowel movement, your stool will come out completely and your rectum (anus) will be very clean and requires very little use of toilet paper!


------------------------------------------------------
FOODS TO AVOID WHILE YOU STILL HAVE COLITIS !!!
------------------------------------------------------


AVOID or MINIMIZE food/drinks that contain:

(1) Caffeine
(2) Theobromine
(3) Taurine
(4) Tyrosine (amino acid)

Examples: avoid or minimize tea, coffee, chocolate, energy drinks, soft drinks, sport drinks that contain the amino acid Tyrosine in large amount.

Why?
These will cause Colitis to worsen, because they are food sources for the bad bacteria or increase bacteria spores (eggs).

Research references:

• Caffeine and Theobromine stimulate formation of spores (eggs) of Clostridium perfringens: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6271685

• Taurine and germination (hatching) of Clostridium difficile spores:
http://jb.asm.org/content/190/7/2505.full

• Tyrosine is fermented by Clostridium difficile to form a toxin called p-cresol:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30208103


------------------------------------------------------
FINAL WORDS AND IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
------------------------------------------------------


If Colitis symptoms improve within a week (bleeding stop!), KEEP USING the supplements !!!

(1) Black Cumin Seed oil
(2) Probiotics
(3) Fiber (Psyllium husk)

DO NOT stop taking these supplements !!!
The bad bacteria that cause Colitis have spores (eggs) and they can return, so keep using these supplements for at least 3 months, even if you feel completely normal again!

Also, these supplements are NATURAL, have proven benefits for digestive health, so keep using them for as long as you can!
Fiber have SO MANY health benefits, such as lowering cholesterol, reducing risk of colon cancer, and many more!!!


Good luck, good health, and God bless you all !!!
