Ageless GI Recovery

Tough week as I wrap up all my projects to begin vacation with my partner out of the country. 1 hour sleep last night then a nasty commute through a blizzard to downtown.

I am exhausted BUT when it comes to my UC I am feeling the best since a flare began mid-summer ( always does every two years ).

This stuff arrived early Monday and I have taken it twice daily between meals, preferably once in the middle of the night. Another product I was going to try is some ayurvedic stuff made in the USA which remains unopened - I am not even going to bother with it if this continues to work out this well.

Nothing exotic here just a lot of quality l-glutamine, acacia fiber, NAG and short chain prebioitic. I have mentioned it in other threads but wanted to point out I feel better on this stuff, BM frequency is back to once or twice per day solid formed. No urgency. I am taking powerful energy drinks or pre-workout drinks and still do not have that nasty urgency.

It seems once again that although psyllium seed and salmon always is beneficial each post-flare phase seems to lack something different and other previous remedies are not kicking in. Fiber bars that helped at start of summer started working once I began taking this. So 3 days in and I have felt like my body is absorbing more nutrition. Lots of other signs but I will wait to see how this goes after another full week passes. Time to get some rest.

2 per day so the 60 scoops will be gone in a month. I will cut back to once per day and slow shipping if I get back to normal.

I already have 3/4 ingredients, at least its 'one-stop-shopping'.

I took none of my 20 other supplement pills today, if this helps I can trim all of that back. Here is hoping it does help.

I ordered some and If my humira starts to work, I need to really get in there and repair my gut, so I'm going to give it a try! Thanks aguywithuc and your partner have a great vacation and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and A BIG SUPER DUPER THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU POST AND TRY TO HELP OTHERS WITH!

Sounds good aguywithuc!

I knew there was a positive to soluble fiber and UC, more so than insoluble fiber.

What kind of energy drinks do you use for your workouts? I'm also working to get my iron levels back up.

Good to hear you're doing well, enjoy that trip.

We are staying here for the holidays, it was my newly hired 'teammate' who traveled to see the mayan ruins ( I asked if he could fix the calendar while down there ). We had this house built and moved in BUT was so busy with work, flare and landscaping that the huge walls are bare. I put in a 73 inch tv next to fireplace in the great room and now have my first 'man cave' and love it.

But I still have some unpacking to do etc. This vaca begins with her birthday tomorrow, xmas, my bday and we are going get the interior just right now that we have some time and it is winter.

The old place had not storage but this one has tons of kitchen cabinets, I put all the upgrade money in the big galley kitchen. I have a couple shelves for just stims over the double-oven.

My favorite is NAPALM but I got tipped off they were pulling it due to a stimulant ingredient that you can still find in Jack3d. I bought 4 cans of NAPALM because it was going away. I love what it does for me and it does not bother UC, most do bother it and I keep a few of those around but they are not for every day.

I'll update with the good/bad when I get the 12 day PTO started at the end of today. MMM going to go have my daily Napalm drink :)

Holy crap you're on some stimulants! I heard that Jack3d is wicked. I once was addicted to Rippedfuel (in my 20's) and that was the beginning of the end for me. I started having panic attacks after two years of non stop use!, I could feel my heart value jump and then I went down hill from there and things straighten out for a bit then got really bad with my nerves and I think it was the Lyme's Disease coming out but anyways....whatever works for you and makes you feel good. Now all I take is Eboost and that's not often any more, it does make me a little jittery (green tea) and I have to poo. Just thinking about it stimulates my colon, no lie. Most people tolerate caffine well, not me.
You can go on vacation until July? Holy crap that's awesome!! Have fricken fun!!! Stay in touch.

I love to work out and I do about 4 days a week but not at all this week since I got my Humira shot, just nervous about everything. I'm dog sitting to and that's got me tied up. I use to run allllll the time, but I haven't in years because of my gut, so I bike and do weights. But my legs that were so young looking now are looking old from not running :( bums me out a ton! My skin is loose and it's depressing. I'm really thin though for my height so just doing weights is good for now. Have fun!

Are you still taking this on a daily basis or you're just doing psyllium now? I tried it for two days and no slowing of diarreah for me, bummer.

I try not to take ephedera or yohimbine anymore. Want to get to pure morning workout stimulant but not there yet.

I want to start taking it again because it was terrific, but I had to go from very experimental to very conservative. As soon as things are a bit more consistent I will start it back up. It is very similar to Intestinew, almost the same ingedients and mostly L-glutamine. I am taking Intestinew right now because it has more history with me.
