Bowsellia- Another natural remedy for UC?

ManhattanMama,

I tried the Boswellia both in pills and powder form, and it did nothing for me.

However, I've found great relief with both Slippery Elm Powder and L-Glutamine powder as well.

i use boswellia cream on my knees, ankles, hands, chest, ect. it's really helpful and soothes my inflammation.

I was taking Boswellia last time I was in remission and I flared up while using it so it wasn't too effective at keeping me in remission. I am happy that other people have had better results. Maybe I wasn't taking enough...

Yeah, been there, done that. Didn't work for me. I stopped it last month.

MM I have been on Boswellia now for 5 monthes, under naturopath supervision as it does read after 8-12 weeks practiitioners supervision. My dose has been loweredfrom 4 a day for the first two weeks to 2 a day since then. I know the brand name I took is Medi Herb I don't know what brand anyone else has taken as stengths or quality may vary. Again I did no take Boswellia by itself it is a naturaln anti-inflammitory it had help to heal the bowel cells as I also took rejuven x and natren life start and meta pure EPA/DHA this combination along with a strict diet which I did not cheat on. These along with diet all worked together to achieve where I am now in remission. I don't think Boswellia tablets alone would be able to achieve this to get to remission naturally takes commitment and time. It seems so many are after a quick fix medication and that does not work for UC or when this happens if does not last long. All the brands of naturopath tablets and powders I took or take now are either organic or very good quality definately not off the supermarket or healthfood shelf apart from Vital greens which you can get in a health shop.

I hope you really look hard at what the naturopathhas done for me their is a thread on page 33+ I think, called "how I got into remission in 7 weeks" this has all the information. It is a locked thread due to negative comments and the way in which I handled it as a newbee. You should really try this, dont take notice of what anyone else says try it, you are the one that has to live in your body nobody else. What does not work for others May Work for you!!

Also keep in mind I went off ALL MY pharmicuitical medication 3 weeks into the diet. Why! because my meds weren't working, so I let the naturopath diet and supplements work on their own I do not know if being off pred and salofaulk enemas helped me get into remission faster or not. But that is what I did, if this works for you, you have everthing to gain and nothing to lose, I have read many of your posts on other threads your sypmtoms are so similar to what mine were. I would love to see you get into remission and get on with living your life.

the spiralina you take, does it come in aliquid form or a powdered form as i have been drinking the liquid but it costs over $5 Australian for 600ml. I have seen some powdered at the organic health food shop but it is like $80 plus for about 600 or 700 gms and am unsure what it would taste like. Do you recommend any brands?

I started taking Bosswellia during my last flare and started getting better right away. Nothing dramatic, but it definitely seemed to turned the tide and each week was better than the one prior.

Boswellia is also on my long list of supplements tried and either did nothing or made me worse. I don't recall anything terrible but something made me stop it.
