Slippery Elm to the Rescue!

It's been a month since that flare hit me, and now a week I've been feeling great! The only thing I can attribute it to is my use of Slippery Elm powder nightly, before bed.

In the beginning of the flare, I did have bone broth soup for about a week, limited grains + sugars completely, and slowly I've improved!

It's like the flare was never here! Now I feel like my stool is too large for my body and the toilet to handle. Really.

Has slippery elm noticeably helped anyone else out of a flare?

I've been on and off it several times thinking it was having a minor effect but every single time I finally decide that the minor help it gives me is too small to continue its use. I also took it at night before bedtime. I just bought another peanut butter pie again the other day and I went about 9 hours today without a bm. Will have to see how that goes over the next several days as I also was forced to start taking antibiotics for a very nasty respiratory thing that my wife has had for over a week now. The antibiotic gave me a bunch if diarrhea through the night and this morning before getting my 9 hour relief. Not sure how all that is going to work out.

Yes I took some this morning after a milk thistle tablet yesterday moved things a little faster, the slippery elm slowed it down again! Feel a lot more settled after having it.. I think it was the milk thistle and I hope it settles because it's a good Vitamin to use..

seasons: you may have missed another thread I had on this subject about a month ago. After craving peanut butter pie for several months I finally caved in and had some, knowing full well that I would probably be in for a bad evening. Fortunately whenever I eat the wrong thing I only have a temporary setback and return to "normal" shortly afteward. After eating the pie a month ago I was surprised to find that I actually got better. Super bowl night I had popcorn, potato chips (greasy ones), cashews, and some peanut butter pie. I had an amazingly good night not going for hours and hours. There's something about this that my system likes.
