Work out supplements

The following comes from the site cureforulcerativecolitis.com

Although L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is frequently used as a sports and fitness supplement, it has been found to help modulate the immune system and protect the mucosal protective layer in the intestine. Studies have demonstrated that glutamine can help improve blood flow in inflamed segments of the colon in patients who have ulcerative colitis, although its benefits did not extend to the most seriously affected portion of the colon (Kruschewski M et al 1998). Glutamine is also able to reduce leakiness of the intestine, which may help to reduce symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.

If you search on the UC forum for posts by InSoFla you will see several websites you can visit to get further info and a morning shake that contains whey and l-glutamine among other ingredients. I think it's mentioned at the above website, too.
Slippery elm bark can be used to soothe the digestive tract, too.

To search on the forum, enter a word or words in the search box under the tab in the upper right "Join HealingWell".
Hope this is helpful...........

Found another website that contains a lot of information you may find useful

Thanks for all the replys I will check into those websites.

All those supplements are terrible for UC. Slow digesting food is good and all the workout supps are pre-digested.

The pre-workout stimulation/energy drinks are very bad because they accelerate the GI transit time and the ingredients are bizarre to the gut and usually include fake sugars primarily sucralose.

However I am addicted to the pre-workout energy drinks. For 10 months I have been charging for 80-90 hours of work every week. I worked until 4:30 am last night for example. This is finally nearing an end in 2 weeks, then I can downshift into 40-60 hour weeks and get some rest but I am still the only guy on critical pager so I will get woke up on some nights.

I know laying off this junk is terrific for my UC, but the money is too good right now to stop so here is what I am doing to keep a balance and not flare.

Each day

Assault - Max 1/2 scoop per day with a couple fiber pills really helps out otherwise its firehouse time
Hyper FX - Max one scoop per day
Jack3d - Max 2 scoups per day
NoShotgun - Max 1 scoop per day
Coffee - Max 1 cup per day

Lots of pure water
Natural food
Coconut water
Chicken/salmon/Almond butter
Pure green protein with spirulina
No dairy ( except yogurt ) No pop, no booze

Arginine-Ethyl-Ester pills ( all other arginines are horrible for UC ) absorb instantly and provide great pumps, easy to do extra reps

Curcumin/Turmeric
Boswellia
HTP-5
Pectin from Apples
Natural Apple pie

Symptoms - only when consuming too much of the energy drinks get gassy, otherwise 1 BM daily, lately quality has been perfect. The more apple pie the better. Bizarre but true, been making trips just for the pie.

I used to pound down the l-glutamine, all the data on it is so good but I never really got the idea it helped. Might help with bulking so I will take that down from the high shelf and add it back into my diet for a while to see if it can help me get a bit heavier.

I have found a couple of companies that make all natural versions of the junky pre workout drinks we love. One is STS (STS-Sports.com) and the other is Muscle Feast (muscle feast.com). No sucralose, nothing artificial. Also no stimulants but you can add those in if you need the caffeine. I am also using the MCT (powdered medium chain triglycerides) from muscle feast, tastes good and so much easier to use than coconut oil.
I am using the STS stuff now - the pre-workout and the in-workout drinks, good stuff and they actually taste good. I think sucralose was a big factor in my last two flare ups and have cut that out.
