Question for imagardener2 (or anyone else)

i just get back on the wagon and let my body do the rest - haven't found a non-med quick fix yet -

but part of the problem is an aging body that doesn't have the recuperative healing capacity of it's younger and much better days - can't jump as far and stay as long when you leave that wagon !

I really don't see the point in trying. You can sleep well, stick to a low residue diet (even just chicken water or whatever if you're really flaring), rest at home, whatever. But it probably isn't achieving anything much on its own. I would rather get drugs into my system while I'm doing all that.

I use non-RX mostly, only use rectal meds for bleeding which is rare.
What I use depends on what symptoms are.
Upset stomach=generic Pepto Bismol unflav. tab, clay water
Constipation=olive oil or coconut oil spoonful, cooked spinach, chicken broth, Vit E suppository
Diarrhea=generic Immodium, Bentyl for cramps associated (low level RX)
VSL#3=to re-set gut, seems to helps all symptoms

This morning my gut is mad that I had 2 gluten-free choc chip cookies last night. Took a Pepto and Immodium and next will be clay water.

Oil of oregano and wormwood are in the backup box but not needed for long time since bad biotics seem gone.

It's hard not to give in to certain foods/drinks, they are all around me. Punishment by my gut usually doesn't last too long, just reminds me "don't do that".
