there are many other threads on here, some bragging about
the powers of VSL#3, the reason for my post is to remind members not to forget about
Probiotics and give VSL a try but be careful who you buy it from as it affects how it is stored. I have been on a 1-year flare, was hospitalized last October, tried 2 biologics, and now I am on Rinvoq, the 45 mg gave me some crappy side effects, but i eventually had to lower dose to 30, and seems ineffective for me. sadly. now I am taking budesonine as well but the darn mucus and urgency and frequency just never stopped or got better. then I got covid 2 weeks ago and things got from bad to not so bad to worsening to terrible once covid was gone. I guess our immune system finds something to be busy with when fighting a virus then once it fends off the virus it goes back to attacking itself
- as I was panicking and trying to avoid the ER, I ordered VSL#3, and I do not know what was different this time around but I'm seeing improvements daily. I used to buy VSL from a local pharmacy and I suspect they did not store it right.
I do not want to jinx this. I am also slowly starting to lift weights now that I have some of my energy back. lifting weights and light exercise is very good for inflammation.
lastly, I am also taking some aloe vera gel from the actual leaves of aloe sold at the supermarkets. Aloe is great when you have side effects like stomach pain or indigestion, or any mouth sores, just chew that on and on and it calms things down. it is an acquired taste
