I have a severe stricture and per flex sig yesterday surgery will be my only option for relief. It’s too long to dilate. For the best possible outcome to surgery, my GI is pushing a high dose of steroids. I just ordered a bottle of Qing dai, heard great things. For this taking this herbal, how much does a gram come out to? I’m thinking of starting with 2 grams/day split in two doses. With these granules would a gram be about 1/2 teaspoon? My GI is also encouraging remicade which I will likely take due to fistualizing disease. Currently 43, and diagnosed at age 14. First surgery 9 years ago from Dr. Michelassi in NY. This disease. 😬 Thank you for any insight.

Welcome to the forum. I would recommend you take the prednisone and remicade as they have a good track-record of helping with UC.

Qing Dai isn't officially approved for the treatment of UC, with all of the evidence of effectiveness needed to make that a known thing. Easy to cherry pick a few anecdotal stories on the internet, and assume you will get the same results. No guarantees it will. Try it if you are so inclined, but it doesn't work for everybody.

Not sure if anybody currently uses Qing Dai, but a forum search will turn up many posts about it. Been discussed on and off over the years here.

It worked EXTREMELY fast for me...but only for a few days. Then, every time I took a dose it would make me feel "flu" like for a half a day with headaches, lethargy, muscle pain...needless to say I gave it up, which was unfortunate given how effective it was.

i have been on Qing Dai for almost a year. Life has been back to normal for me! It is a blue powder. I mix 1/4 teaspoon in some yoghurt or applesauce.At first I did this 3 times a day, then went down to twice a day and now I take it once a day. I hope it works for you too.

Proudmama3. Qing Dai has been studied and found to be effective for UC. For me it has been very effective. It's a powerful anti-inflammatory and will deal with that and ulcerations but it won't help strictures. It takes a while to take full effect and more is not better. For strictures and stenosis I suggest you look into serrapeptase and DMSO. They could also help with post surgical scarring after full healing has occurred. Jini Patel has written about those on her website. To weigh the powder it's a good idea to get a small electronic scale. A gram is about 1/5 of a teaspoon I think

I took Qing Dai for a month and it did nothing for me but turn my diarrhea greenish-blue. I still have lots left, may give it another try sometime. Glad other people are seeing good results.
