InSoFla- doesn't sound very yummy to me! Hope it tastes better then it sounds. I have to find something else myself!

Well,  a update on the organic Rice protien (sprouted whole grain brown rice) that  I started a week ago.  Tastes like gritty sandpaer and NOW I BLEEDING after a week drinking it.  I haven't seen blood in a long  time. 

So I think I'm gonna quit all kinds of protien drinks.  Whey causes alot of gas and pain, and now rice is too rough.

Spoke to a Licensed Nutritionist today. Told him about my UC, he suggested Lifes Basic Plant Protein (pea,hemp,rice with chia seed)
the magic trick he said was to add a shot glass full of 100% Papaya Juice. This will take care of an stomach distress including gas. He will give me my money back if I'm not happy. Going to try.

I think I had some trouble with whey. I tried an amino-acid supplement, but it seemed to increase gas and diarrhea. I got some new supplement that is soy based and whey-free. I will try it soon. I have been having some increase of symptoms and am trying to get the right dose of probiotics. Don't want to change too many things at one time. But I will see how the sob-based one works before too long.

@faithmac- thanks for the tip, will check it out. @InSoFla- thanks for asking- i hate to jinx myself but I certainly have noticed a positive effect from Mutaflor, which the FDA has decided, like imbeciles, to declare as a biologic drug even though it is an OTC probiotic everywhere else and has been proven effective in both UC and IBS. I also am down to 2.5 mg pred now and thus, hopefully LDN will kick in as well. mostly formed stools again.

Probiotic,

No, let's not jinx it - keep up the good work, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

i got inspired by the article Old Mike posted on whey protein and i bought one from Mercola (now i've read that InSoFl had the same, mine is vanilla) and it's going to arrive tomorrow. If i had known about the problems at the customs, i'd have never bought it. My whey protein got stucked at the customs because it had been sent by DHL. They kept sending me various documents to sign in which i had to testify that this is protein and not drugs. Finally i was told i'd receive it tomorrow but i'll have to pay the customs charges which will probably be twice as much i paid for the protein. However what worries me most is that i'm reading now that so many of you had bad experiences with it. Maybe someone else has already cured his/her uc with whey protein by Mercola? If not, i'll be the first :)

therearemiracles recently posted about whey protein and how it helped her. I didn't notice much of a difference using it, but I did do well on sheep yogurt/milk which is packed with enough whey protein anyways.

I hope it works out for you. :)
