Daily Regiment of Natual Remedies and Medications-Please Post!

A guy with UC No judgements but that sounds like a lot of sugar and gluten and dairy to be anti inflammatory. From what I've learned anyway.

Mine twists and turns a bit here and there as I experiment on and off things and respond to symptoms (currently fighting a flare) but this is a neat thread for a snapshot so here's mine:

On waking:
Springwater with the following
- 2 VSL-3 capsules
- 1 colon critical care 80 billion CFU capsule
- 1 primal defense capsule
- 2 Thorne s boulardi capsules
- 1 culturelle capsule
- 2 500 mg threonine capsules

30-60 minutes later:
Low carb SCD white meat and Cooked veggie combo eg today semi-organic (no AB or hormones) chicken breast or thigh with well cooked greenbeans, and extra virgin olive oil. Then with or after breakfast I take...
- 1 500 mg turmeric capsule
- 1 omega 3 fish oil capsule
- 2 of my 4 daily Garden of Life Vitamin code for men capsules
- vit D 5000 IU capsule
- 2-3 immodiums for the IbS that is cincurrent with my IBD

Lunch: food basically same as breakfast, plus
- 1 500 mg turmeric capsule
- 2 omega 3 fish oil capsule

Supper: same as lunch and breakfast, plus
- turmeric 500 mg capsule
- 1000 mg CLA capsule (just started trying this past week)
- 2 of my 4 daily Garden of Life Vitamin code for men capsules
- vit D 5000 IU capsule

At bedtime:
Springwater with 20-30 grams of l-glutamine, along with
- 2 threonine 500 mg capsules
- 2 VSL-3 capsules
- 1 colon critical care 80 billion CfU capsule
- 1 primal defense capsule
- 2 thirne s boulardi capsules

I also take, with dinner, normally, an oral LDN capsule but have been suspending this for 4 days and ongoing now in an effort to see if I can get LDN to "kick in" again.

As far as probiotics go, I often shift around what I take according to what stock I happen to have on hand, but I use VSL-3 caosules as my core.

I have tried hundreds of therapies mentioned on this forum... I once had a 10 year full remission while doing nkthing at all and eating junk- and now I am eating healthy and going nuts with researched supplements and have a hard time staying off pred lately, its tough. Currently I am tapering through 25 mg pred after almost a year of pred free remission. I am allergic to all mesamines and eventually failed biologics but my most recent med- free remission began after I stopped humira, and was only on my supplements, diet plus LDN (which frankly I consider a supllement not a med lol).

Seasons21- yes re probiotics, I try and take as many types (if tolerated) as I can as a poor mans way to diversify- fecal therapy, after all, involves hundreds of strains. re. Cooking oils- I always thought regular (as opposed to EVOO) olive oil is fine for cooking- indeed it says "for sauteeing and grilling" on the side of some of my regular non eVOO bottles- isn't regular olive oil pretty much the exclusive hot cooking oil of mediterranean countries, especially traditional Greek? Have been using it for many many years almost exclusively as my cooking oil. The EVOO I do not cook with but I do add it to cooked food afterwards to add calories and moisture. I do not do well with poultry oil, plus it is heavy in omega 6 isnt it? Based on this though I will try coconut oil again, cautiously. I do know that I tolerate oilive oil as cooking oil very very well, whereas coconut oil once flared me and ghee also did not go lver well on me (though I have tolerated liberal use of butter on my cooked veggies fairly well, but now find I do better without dairy). I stay away from all the synthetic veggie oils like canola etc like the plague. Thanks for the caution- cant go back in time for years of doing the wrong thing maybe , but will look more into this at once.
