RAW Milk miracle for UC?

There have been a lot of posts about this in the past. If you try searching you can find some information. I am not sure I buy it personally, if it worked, everyone would be drinking it instead of taking drugs. I've also never seen anyone state that it's induced remission for them, and if they did, they came and went and never reported back... It probably can't hurt to try and it's not a huge expense, it's also easy to acquire, so why not? There were also some posts in the past on camel milk. That went on for a while, then it died out.

Nothing is a miracle for UC treatment. One can cherry-pick a couple successes and gloss over the fact it hasn't helped others, and even made others symptoms worsen if they want to *shrug*. I know you're fairly new at this, and many of us have been doing this UC thing for decades and see that pattern in every treatment. Try it if think it might help but always carry a healthy skepticism.

Thanks. I'm not a big milk drinker myself but at this point I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle and adding anything to sooth my stomach helps I guess. Thanks for the info.

Not happening. Pred doing fine so far. Hopefull for Remicade next week

If there really was an actual cure for UC, everybody with UC would be on it and it would be eradicated within a few years.

Most YouTube bloggers are talent-free zones who want maximum publicity and hits. I tend to avoid them like the proverbial plague.

This.

You will find thousands of supposed "cures" for incurable diseases on the internet. These peddlers are exploiting patients' desperate desire to feel a sense of control over their illness.

Once you are on Remicade you will probably want to avoid raw milk/milk products because of immunosuppression. New data shows that raw milk/cheese causes 840 times more illnesses than pasteurized dairy products. (Source: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/23/6/15-1603_article)

Hi RyanC,

I drank a glass of raw milk everyday when I was in flare which dramatically improved it within a day and I went into remission shortly after - I bought it from calf at foot dairy and they delivered it to my door (UK).

I've been in remission for about three years now - any time I think I'm getting a bit worse I drink raw milk for a few days and so far so good. It may be a coincidence but for me personally it is something that I will continue.

Prior to this I was in remission for 6 months max for 6 years or so and was diagnosed with pancolitis and in hospital for 10days to control it with some mega drugs and discussions with surgeons about possibly removing my colon.

I generally eat unprocessed foods and cook a lot more now. I also eat very little meat and dairy. I exercise a few times a week. Who knows if this has contributed to my remission but if it ain't broke....

Good luck with it all. I hope you find something that works for you.

All the best
