Since like forever, I would wake up in the middle of the night will a BAD burning in my stomach and gut and the the only thing that helped was eating. It wasn't hunger but it was burning sensation. I would normally eat a banana then go back to bed.

I tried so many things to take away the burning, i.e. eating, coconut oil, marshmellow root tea anything to get that feeling away.

I thought ok maybe it's yeast erupting, so I took a candida freedom (and you all know I don't push, sell anything) from Massey Medciinals which is Bacillius Coagulan (15 bill) Aloevera gel and alpha lipoic acid and after I took one my gut calmed down and I actually slept from 3am to 7am!

Just thought I would share

I saw this is Pubmed on lactic acid therapy

There is in 1993 no proven medical indication of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for therapy or immunomodulation in man. However, within the bulk of publications, rigorous trials have now opened rational fields of research on beneficial effects of LAB. These include lactose digestion, cholesterol metabolism, diarrheal disorders, prophylaxis of intestinal or urogenital infections, immunomodulation or even oral vaccination. We try here to analyse these studies, considering LAB as pharmacological agents, and conclude that pursuit of research could be promising for ecological therapy of mucosal diseases, and for development of original and flexible vectors for targeting in the gastrointestinal tract.

I don't think I wake up in the middle of the night with that feeling, but fairly often while flaring I feel like my belly is really warm inside, a feeling like I ate hot peppers and can feel them buring inside me (even when I didn't eat hot peppers).  I assume it's because of inflammation, but as far as I know I haven't had it in the middle of the night.

I'm glad you found something that helps!

I used to put a heating pad on my stomach at night.  I'm not sure why it worked (and it wasn't instant relief) but it did work.  Mary

That's very interesting . We're you ever tested for yeast in the bowel? I was and it came back very high. Used to go to a functional med doctor. Tried to treat it with difuconazole . Made my UC worse. I'm prone to yeast vaginal infections. Going to ask my reg doctor about something natural to take. That stool test was very expensive.

I finally slept through the night which I haven't done since I don't know when! It's awesome stuff if you suspect you have yeast issues!

When I was flaring I would regularly wake up at night with severe stomach pain. The remedy that finally worked for me was chewing DGL licorice about 20 minutes before each meal and 20 minutes before going to bed at night.

It sounds like Massey Medicinals is another potential method for stomach pain, but hopefully I won't need anymore pain remedies if I can maintain remission.
