I am much much better and I know why.

Oh and I had taken vsl3 years before with no affect but maybe I didn't take enough. This time around I took an enormous amount (something like 15 pills a day?) I don't remember. I only take 4 pills a day now. My Dr. threatened to take out my colon within months so I through the kitchen sink at it (to include whip worms) and I got better. I don't think the worms worked because it has been over a year since I took it last and I haven't noticed any difference.

did scope confirm remission?

I'm glad you're feeling better but i do worry that you've still got inflammation remaining from your uc with 4-5 bms a day. That frequency is usually associated with moderate uc inflammation. I'd combine prescription medications with your current alternatives and that just might be your key to remission.

Is this the one? http://www.ccherbal.com/

Some other people on the forum were saying this is good too: https://www.amazon.com/Health-Concerns-Cooling-Supplement-Tablets/dp/B003U34LDQ#customerReviews

What else do you take? I'm trying to do this the natural route, but it's challenging. My symptoms are tons of bloating, no bleeding. Really uncomfortable, though.

Currently doing a fasting regimen — only eating dinner, which seems to help.

Hi,

I've had UC for 20 years now. I've tried many treatments natural and conventional with varying success. I'm currently in remission but I had a short flare a few weeks ago. I'm currently on imunosuppressants and have been for the last couple of years.

During my recent flare, I found an article about apple cider vinegar. There was a study done on mice which found that apple cider vinegar can improve symptoms of UC in mice, so i thought, why not try it.

I started taking a very small amount of ACV with water first thing in the morning and last thing before i go to sleep. The amount i take is basically just enough to cover the bottom of the glass and then i fill the rest with water and drink it. I use organic apple cider vinegar with 'mother' in it.

I found that 3-4 days after taking it, my stools went back to normal (which was a huge surprise after having loose stools for a few weeks) and i stopped losing weight. The other thing i noticed was that I had hardly any gas or bloating.

I've been taking it since and I'm finding that my symptoms are just about gone and that I'm much less sensitive to what I eat.

Apart from apple cider vinegar, I try to eat mainly organic food, I stay away from high fiber, I also avoid milk and cream but do eat butter and cheddar or tasty cheese. I found that spicy food can also give me problems.

I hope this helps someone. It's very easy and cheap to try and should make a difference within 3-4 days.
