Starting CCHerbal Today:

Good luck and please let us know how you are doing.

Thanks for the words of encouragement @herbgarden and @DMC2011. So far, so good, no urgency today which is a nice relief, could be a coincidence or the power of positive thinking but heck, I'll take it!

@DMC2011, interested to know what kind of things are you doing on the alternative route and how is it going for you?

Good luck!!!
In Korea, I never heard someone has taken CCHerb, but there are many people taking Qing Dai powder and it worked for many people. I hope CCHerb works that way too.

Before I started taking it, I was going to the Hospital every morning for an IV an antibiotics.  I couldn't

even drink water without running to the bathroom.  I had lost about 60 lbs from November to June.

Anything that went in to my body came out rapidly.  I started taking the herb in early June.  The 1st day

I didn't really notice any difference, but by the third day I could tell something was changing.  From

then on I kept getting better and better with a different symptom going away each day or two.  By the

of the 1st week I could eat and drink again without running to the bathroom. 

I hope you have the same results.  UC is a terrible illness that I wouldn't wish on anyone. 

Morning of day 3 of taking CCHerbal in addition to everything else I'm doing as written below in my bio:

Over weekend (before I started taking CCHerbal, started taking it on Mon) I was going to the bathroom 15-20 times/per day. Had a great deal of urgency, then the usual suspects of b, m and d. Went to a party on Saturday and was only there 2 hours and had to use the restroom 3 times. Embarrassing, I couldn't wait to go home :(

Yesterday, only had about 5 bms, no urgency during the day. Some blood, but not each time. Less d and m. Last night I had a slight headache which I believe could have been a side effect, or it could be because I was dealing with my hysterical 8 month old who had a total meltdown. I'll pay careful attentiont today to see if I have one again later today and if that's the case, re-assess, or maybe take one pill instead of two, we will see.

Biggest and best news is ... This morning so far (I'm in CA so it's only 815A) had a very good stool which is rare for me in the morning and no blood. I'm so fricken happy I wish I could kiss someone! Will keep the updates going, I am very optimistic in general and happy to have this forum to share all the gory and happy details!

I also want to share that since joining just last week I have been much more open with my condition to friends, I usually never specificy what my 'stomach thing' is but now I'm telling them I have UC and I feel a lot of relief being so open about it, so thank you.

@Julie Mariah Thank you, I'm in near-shock that things are finally seeming to go well for me. I've been battling a flare for months, 2.5 months w/o and RX meds and think I've finally turned the corner. Today so far, now it's 330P, I've just been a normal human being going to the bathroom like a normal person ALL DAY LONG. It doesn't sound like much but I'm on cloud 9 million right now. I think the combo of everything I've been doing has finally got into sync (my eating; daily morning bikram yoga routine I've been doing at home for about week, I posted on that too if you want to run a search on my name/posts; and other supplements that are in my bio). No headache yet either and by this time yesterday I was feeling one so maybe it was just my baby or a fluke and not a side effect. I'll definitely keep updates coming and wish you the best of luck in your attempt to go the alternate route as well.

I ordered the CCHerbal direct from the manufacturer, they shipped very quickly and were easy to work with http://www.ccherbal.com/

That's great! Please don't get bored with us and disappear. If this continues to work for you it is your moral obligation to help others by continuing to post your results, especially long term results. And, don't let any skeptics tick you off and not come back. I ordered a bottle and was thinking of giving it a try but hit a roadblock with the possible side effects. I used to have the autoimmune disease ITP which has been in remission for years and now I am beginning to fear this could bring that disease back, which is actually worse than UC. So, I am giving it more thought before starting with CC.

Have just ordered the CC for my 21 year old son. We are in the UK so will have to wait a bit longer for it to come. He's currently on 70mg of pred. Do you think he should just start it while on it or wait to taper off a bit more?
Thanks sue

ITP is an autoimmune blood disease and it has been in remission for over ten years so I have not had to fight it or fight two diseases at once. It is actually quite serious, way more than UC. It can be so extremely dangerous that I really have to watch meds and supplements I take for fear of jumpstarting it back out of remission.

I have tried a variety of diet modifications for my UC and found no difference. The only actual diet, per say, that I have tried is lactose free and that did absolutely zero. Other than that I have tried certain combinations of individual foods and drinks with zero effect either. I do have to watch intakes of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fibers because all make me worse and high histamine foods make me worse due to a histamine intolerance. I am not a believer that in most UC'rs a particular structured diet will help as I don't believe there is such a thing as a UC diet, other than a lot of UC'rs do seem to have trouble with lactose but I believe that condition to be a result of UC and not the cause. Further proof that there is not such thing as a UC diet comes from the fact that many of the diets that people claim success with are diametrically opposite. One says eat no meat, another says eat meats, etc. Even the experts have conflicting info on what we should and should not eat. It is my belief that if diet is going to help those with UC it is an individual thing and not an SCD, Paleo, or other other such popular diet, not that one of these won't help a particular individual. I just don't believe in all that legal and illegal stuff.

OK. I guess you got me on that one. I stand corrected. Although I have tried many other things and found no difference, except for high histamine foods. And, I have not eliminated fruits, veggies, nuts, and fibers, just reduced their intake. I have eliminated raw veggies, probably the only thing that I have actually eliminated completely. With DAO I can eat those higher histamine foods.

Day 6: appears I have achieved symptomatic remission Going to keep the same program I am following for a few weeks then figure out how/if I can start cutting back on some of my supplements. Will continue to update on this thread.

@chicagobulls11 Thanks. I was diagnosed in late 2011 with ulcerative colitis, had a sigmoidoscopy and was told it was about 4cm of rectum that was inflamed. Was rx'd asacol and canasa and took them faithfully for a while and they worked. Would sometimes try going of them but then eventually flare. A few months ago while taking them regularly I started to flare which brought on to my current attempts to go the full alternate route and that's how I found this board.
