Dear Friends:
I have UC as well, and I've had it for 26 years. I've been on just about every med available out there. about 4 years ago, I also developed IBD. Last summer however I found some articles about research being done in Europe for IBD. The results were amazing with success rates as high as 87% from 5 different studies in different countries. What they tested was peppermint oil. Well...long story short...it works. I have been IBD free for 1.5 years...since I've started taking the peppermint oil.
My biggest problem right now (aside from UC), is weight loss (and loss of energy of course). Is there something that can be taken to gain weight ??? I've tried many things. I eat way too much...to a point where I get sick of eating at times, and I've tried increasing my liquid intake (mostly water and milk), and I've even tried Protein weight gain used for bodybuilding. When the UC is bad...nothing seems to work, and I lose weight like there's no tomorrow. Maintaining the weight is the biggest problem I've had. If anyone knows of a product, food, natural or otherwise that helps gain weight, please let me know.
Thank you ! ! !
