I've heard of a lot of different enema ideas for inserting into the rectum to heal and stop bleeding with varying success.

What do you all feel is the best most effective one from what you have heard and seen?

Cortenemas were best for me

pretty sure those don't actually qualify as a "herb" champ -

maybe a fecal transplant? I've never done anything that wasn't prescribed though. I've seen people mention vitamin E, or coffee, but that all sounds pretty unresearched.

For the past 10 years I have seen the same pattern over and over starting with eating foods that are bad, especially gluten. At first I see loose stools that become more and more liquid. Then small amounts of blood. If I continue to eat gluten it will soon morph into a flare. Once in a flare it is very hard to escape.

Just about anything that can be inserted as a suppository or enema, purchased or homemade, has been tried over the years here. I don't think there is a clear "best" that consistently pops up over time as working well. Rather, it's kinda like the wild, wild, west with everything that could plausibly help being tried by many. Not much follow up on whether it worked, was sustained and continued working, etc. Just lots of "I tried this... or should I try this" posts.

People have tried various anti-inflammatory herbs, aloe, probiotics, home FMT, but to name just a few.

You should consider reintroducing mesalamine enemas and either mixing in curcumin or taking curcumin 3g daily along with rectal mesalamine. This study /www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25724700 showed that curcumin, when used in conjunction with mesalamine, made the mesalamine much more effective. 50% of people who were non-responders to mesalamine oral/rectal medications alone were able to achieve remission when adding curcumin. Pretty amazing if this can be confirmed in larger studies.

Cyclinglady also recently posted a study regarding the AIP diet here. This goes along with what IamCurious is saying. There are some small studies for AIP, SCD, and IBD-AID that show diet may actually play a role in UC/Crohn's. These diets are all very similar and worth a try for a month or so, in my opinion. See the articles below:

Yup, that pretty much sums up the naturals up the bum. It certainly is the wild wild west of HW posts... smilewinkgrin
