I just wanted to mention I have been in some type of flare for almost 2 years and then in May this year it went all down hill, I tried canasa, rowasa, cortifoam, upping my asacol. My main symptoms were bleeding alot and urgency. Nothing seemed to work.  Dr wanted me to go on imuran or remicade, when my colitis is just at the rectum and a little up.  Anyways after struggling and struggling, I have spoke with people and I am finding relief (dont want to jinx it).  What I did and its only been a few days but since May I have had nonstop bleeding.  I added fish oil, flinstone vitamins and vitamin D.  Dont want to jinx it but this is the first time before May since I have not had any bleeding, still a little urgency but bleeding wasnt there and not that it wont but its been a few days without so I am hoping its a good sign, but just by adding vitamins.  I am weaning off the corifoam to to every 3rd day now.  been on that since May.

My doctor recommended fish oil a long time ago.  I don't know if it did anything for my UC but it probably won't hurt.

The vitamin D I have read about just recently.  Although this study is for crohns, there is pretty good evidence it will benifit:

Now the Flintsones vitamins is a new one!  What do you suppose is benificial with Flintstones vitamins?

Regarding the flinstone vitamins. Every time i took viamins before it tore me up so i am starting with kids vitamins first. I was deficienct in vitamin d before. I just started with a 1000 and then go up. Baby steps.

Yes. 9 asacol. Cortifoam every 3rdtime day.
