Hi Harpo and Danthaman,

So are both of you on medication now? Today was a better day, two bm's so far. Yesterday was terrible b/c I know one of my natural supplement fiber makes me go to the bathroom or the one from my hemrroids does. So I stopped both today and I'm having a more confident day then yesterday. The most important the doc said was the citricidal (grapefruit seed extract and A-C betafood) I take 2 pro-bios a day one in the am and one before bed.

Did either of you eat something that made you sick at any time, like food posioning? How did your UC start?

I will keep you posted. I did gain remission with ASACOL & rowasa 2 years ago in 6 weeks, but my stool were never formed always mushy and the urgency never went away. So how can the doctor say I was in remission. So the bleeding and the ulcers are gone, but what about the urgency and mushy stool what do they have to say about that?? nothing, no explaination.

Im just on the meds in my sig..

I think I got my UC from 1 of 3 ways..

1) quiting smoking

2) accutane

3) unprotected sex with a possibly infected girl (the communicable theory) www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=932261

I've been off my meds for 11 days and no blood. The blood did stop after taking the Pro-Bio that I do know. I was taking two supplements that acted like a "cleaner" one for the upper digestive tract and the other collinsonia root for my hemmroids. My blood too, from what the my GI said after my colonoscopy was from the hemmroids. It's hard for me to believe it b/c it was so red and so much, but she looked both up the bum and down my throat. I deal with a lot of diarreah and it's not the kind when you have the flu and water come gushing out, it's a little bit here and there. I'm not sugar coated the facts. I have UC, no blood, mild diareeah and mucus explosions. I had this too when I was on medications. I will have to look up accutane Harpo, b/c I don't know what that is. I'm from Michigan and see a Dr. Tent in Novi Michigan, he swears he can help me and swears I ate someone poops when I ate those alfalfa sprouts without washing them. The ecoli strand can live in the gut. I don't know, I'm just hoping it works over time.

Accutane is a controversial acne medication I really didnt need.. I also didnt find out about the controversy until after Id taken it..

Ok so I was skeptical to try this probiotic but i figured i'd give it a shot.  Instead of spending extra money, I asked them to send me a free sample and they did.  The sample is for 30 days and I've been on in it for 8 days now and I do notice a difference.  I am down to 1 to 2 bowel movements a day and the mucus is pretty much gone but not entirely.  Now I am not sure if its the probiotics or the methotrexate that just kicked in, I've been on metho for 4 months now but something is working.  I figure its worth a shot for anyone else to try, I mean it is free.  They pay for shipping and handling as well.  I'll probably end up buy a 60 day supply next just so that I can still feel this good.  Take Care All.

Best,

good post. I too am taking 2 a day one in the AM and one in the PM. My urgency is gone and I can drive and not worry about a bathroom or get nervous. I think it's a combo of all my supplements.

I think b/c it's new most health food stores don't carry it. Pro-Bio at enzymedica.com

Go here:  http://www.enzymedica.com/products/Pro_Bio?PHPSESSid=bed965562da92c91f8aff01e10966eaa.  And select Live Chat Support, talk to a representative and get a free sample and you should get it shortly.  I am just taking 1 pill at night b/f I go to sleep.  I do feel a drastic reduction in Gas and Mucous my Stool still hasn't returned to normal yet but I am sure that will take a while anyways.  My frequency is down from 5 to 1 or 2 and I do have a little bit of Urgency, like if I have to go I HAVE TO GO.  Hope this helps others as well!!

Best,

I emailed the company at info at enzymedica dot com for some samples. They replied and asked for my address. I'll give them a try and let you know :)

Same here. VSL #3 did nothing for me, but it appears that this probiotic is helping more people on this board. Gonna give that 30 day trial a go!

It is interesting that the Bio Pro is helping some of you to reduce amount of bowel movements. I was looking at the website and noticed that the probiotics are enteric coated. A lot of the probiotics out there are not enteric coated. I have been using Critical Care probiotics since 10 days as well. I have noticed somewhat drier stools. Also, the urgency seems to have gone down as well. It is hard to tell right away if it is the probiotics because sometime my disease fluxuates. However, I noticed the improvement 4 to 5 days after starting. These probiotics are also enteric coated so they bypass the stomach and open up is the small bowel..interesting. I wonder if this makes a difference???
