What are the best supplements that specifically help build and strengthen the intestinal mucosal lining?

Resistant starch (fermented to butyrate) and L-glutamine are the main ones that come to mind, though there are more Im sure.

Yup heard of those two - are there others? I heard maybe slippery elm as well? What else?

Marshmallow root. I use slippery elm. I have noticed a difference.

slippery elm protects more than repairs

I get good results from oat bran and probiotics taken together

I've used them all, the l glutamine, slippery elm and Marshmallow root mixed together did nothing for my frequency, pain, diarrhea or bleeding. It was a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend dabbling with supplements to try to treat your UC because you will end up broke and disappointed.

I too believed they worked when I bought it and took it, but in reality it was just to make myself feel better about wasting money buying it. It probably won't get you out of a flare or reduce your symptoms, but it will make you feel like you're trying.

I would suppress underlying cause. You won't be able to recover the linings without suppressing inflammatory response/invading bugs.

FWIW, Wellbutrin makes me feel remarkably at ease. Honestly, never felt like that before. Although I am aware of anti-depressant effects of Wellbutrin, I am assuming TNFa blocking activity makes it feel good in the gut.
