The black cherry concentrate worked

@bananagirl,
Do you make your own kombucha? Where do you get culture from? Detailed post in this regard will be appreciated.

Can you tell me how much black cherry concentrate you are taking? Bought some today gave my son 6 teaspoons in 237 mls of water. So how often? Thanks

Have just got my black cherry concentrate. Gave it to my son per the directions: 6 teaspoons with 237 mls of water. It was a bit watery he said. Is this right? Or should it be made with less water? What do you do? Also how often in a day do you have it to be effective? Thanks

I have the tart cherry juice that is premixed and it is very tart not watery. I believe you need a good tablespoon per 8 ounces from what I have read.

Hope this helps

How is everyone doing on this? I thought I might give it a try...

This says cherry contrate is a good source of melatotin.

I'm in complete remission and I'm giving credit to the black cherry concentrate since I had hardly anything else with it (nothing new), and it worked so fast. Just wish it worked for everyone.

aguywithuc, sorry for all you have been through and hope you're able to get back on track soon.

The fall flare was not 100% gone, there was sometimes a bit of blood. Holidays were great and I packed on muscle but I had chronic insomnia ( don't over eat kale or vitamin K ). The downhill slide was the ex moving in, thought it would be good for her and daughter but she just argued with us.

As for the tart cheri I recommended it to my mother who has arthritis and I kept mine. It could be self-inflicted you see I read much of the TNF-alpha inhibitor website and lost the context. The context was for all people not UC people. So when he was saying juice was so healthy I added orange juice to the tart cheri and it really tasted good. Label said 2 scoops 3 time daily - that meant a lot of o.j. and I normally dont drink that. I think it became corrosive. The damage was done before I halted the OJ. Immediately after quick call for prednisone all the bad stopped. 90% of the blood is gone and urgency too. But after lunch at the office today I had 3 urgent trips and it was unusually painful. That tells me it is very inflamed and the more solid waste is causing discomfort. Removing psyllium husk and increasing psyllium powder.

Many lessons learned here and yet another example for me that sometimes it is the immune system. I believe I may know what upset the immune system in the first place. Other than the suddenly wrecked gut I feel great and am going to lift through this taper and watch food choices.

More lessons learned is all. Glad to be functioning it was an important day at work and pred got me there. Should be the last pred taper because soon UCERIS is available.

Aguywithuc, can you tell me the difference between pysillium husk and pysillium powder? And UCERIS? Is this a new med? I was also just reading about juicing kale, and gastrointestinal upset lol.. I learned fast about juicing, I think it's standard for everyone.. It wasn't until the glass of pinapple juice I gave to my husband went straight through did I realize it was what was happening to me

Sure, the seed is smooth and fine with inflamed gut. The seed converts into butyrate which heals the gut and usually produces much improved if not perfect stools. The seed tastes like dirt and it is important to find a way to consume it twice daily. Buy pills, by empty large pills and fill them or just use one big tablespoon to a scoup of vanilla whey protein and a shot of lemon flavored cod liver oil run blender stir stick and down it quick.

Husk its fine later and bulks the stool. Some say it scrapes the walls and cleans the colon but is not as beneficial as the dirt. I usually add VSL#3DS to the dirt.

Kale is the highest vitamin K food, binge on tasty kale chips and wonder why you cannot fall asleep till 4:00am. I limit mine now. Ashwagandha helps me sleep.

UCERIS is like prednisone but binds to intestines, is not systemic thus no muscle catabolism, no abrupt mood changes and no adrenal shutdown and no taper required.

Hi I wished it would have helped me and it didn't and I've been on pysllium seed POWDER for two days and not a bulk whatsoever and just more poo. I wish something would work and yes I'm going to try the uceris too when it comes out!

Sorry aguywithyuc something you have to let good enough alone (the EX) it sounds like your intentions were right but she is wrong for you. I've been through a divorce or a break up or two, there's a reason why it didn't work and often trying to get back together doesn't work at all. Keep fighting the good fight you'll be back in remission soon :)

I can understand the stress effect of people like your ex moving in..it seems sometimes I have people in my life who make me feel like I'm being pecked to death by a chicken, especially here lately.

No meds right now. Still drinking the Black cherry every night and no symptoms.

Thanks! :) I am comfortable with my participation I did everything I could to help and will now wash my hands of her. She can take the laptop I built for her as a parting gift !
