which probiotic does culturelle contain? or does it contain multiple bacteria? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yuckygut diagnosed 1998 now off prednisone and...
Before going into remission, I always worried about getting pregnant and being on prednisone, but I would assume your doc wouldnt prescribe it if it wasnt safe for your baby. Do you think your...
I initially found mine in the refrigerated sections at whole foods, so just going by that, I usually drink them cold ----------------------------------------------------------------- yuckygut...
I had taken the curcumin capsules just like yourself, but they didnt help my UC, I believe its because it is not water soluble and just passes thru the gut. That being said, I later found the Haldi...
qazwsx, remember that curcumin is the conc. extract of turmeric. It is what is being researched in Alzheimers, cancer prevention, GERD, etc. And remember, not everything works for everybody, all of...
pb, maybe that is what I read about, the umbilical cord cells. So there are no placental/umbilical cord banks in the US?...
I was told about 1 gram, or about the equivelant of a half cup of turmeric. I get it at haldi4health on the web or whole foods when I am close to one but its cheaper on the web....
I am a big believer in adult stem cell therapy, and the science has improved drastically, I have a friend who went to the cleveland clinic with serious leukemia and they withdrew her own stem cells...
my thought was what if a viral infection caused the inflammatory and auto immune process that made me sick in the first place in 1996? not that I could do anything about it now, but it does make me...
I am a big believer in curcumin, but I found it worked better in a drink form, and the only one I have found is called Haldi, which I found at whole foods stores initially and now online. Its been...
I am not an immune system guru, but I think igg is related to past infections, not current. I think that acyclovir can be used for treatment of bad infections. Have you been sick lately?(flu like...
first flare over a year, then intermittently over the years probably 4-5 months at a time, for numerous times. longest remission was almost 1 year while on prednisone, and now currently almost 2...

I believe many people do take immodium for their ibs, which I had tried many years ago for my colitis, but it never worked for me. I found a natural drink called Haldi, which contains a concentrated...
I never had the muscle pain/cramps, but I could stay awake forever while on prednisone. It kindav made me crazy sometimes. --------------------------------------------------- yuckygut diagnosed 1998...
Talk to the administrator and see if they could possibley decrease your bill, sometimes they do allow that, we had an ER visit and thought the bill was way out of line and after talking with the...
for me that was always the big question, is my immune system overactive and attacking itself, or underactive, or just plain wacky. I also believe there may be environmental factors involved as well,...

sara, my bleeding started to go away after a week, but it took almost a month before I felt confident enough to wean myself off my steroids. psa, to grow your own turmeric in a pot, do you need to...
When you say clostridial species do you mean C-diff? I believe that is clostridium. muda- I think its really like a lot of people believe in probiotics, or a particular med, say rectal meds that have...
the straight acv always burned my esophagus(at least it felt that way), even things that are too alkaline can cause burning. I think that is where the word caustic comes in, although I may be...
I have always been a big believer in "natural" remedies for many things, and I had tried many different things for my UC over the years, turmeric/curcumin pills just didnt help me, but I had read so...
pb, can crohns actually cause ulcers in the mouth? ----------------------------------------------- yuckygut...
saddaze, it may sound goofy, but I will actually gargle with the Haldi, and just drink it slowly, shaking intermittently because the good stuff seems to settle at the bottom after a while....
It took me a couple of weeks before I was able to come off my protonix. I wonder if you are getting too much ACV and it is causing more problems than it is helping with? You do seem to be on numerous...
James, all I did was bleed for a long time, the only thing that ever helped me was the prednisone, (even though the side effects were miserable),and gaining weight was always a problem and even now...
I usually had problems sleeping when on higher doses during a flare, not on my maintenance doses. I would stay up all night sometimes and not be terribley tired during the day. But when weaning it...
saddaze, I had just read a study from wisconsin university, they were talking about curcumin and its protective effect on esophageal epithelial cells even in the presence of acid reflux. This might...
I had taken curcumin tablets in the past but with minimal to no effect, which made sense after I had found out that they are not absorbed but pass straight thru you. I then found a drink containing...

interesting posts, I like the idea of the beer and lemonade, did it work for you? even if you dont have kidney stones it sounds like a good idea. pb4, I have read of a few cases in the past year...
what is the difference between bile reflux and acid reflux?...
saddaze, I could never stomach the ACV straight, it seemed to burn, which I thought just hurt my esophagus worse, so I do like it better in the drink form from Haldi. Not sure about the baking soda,...
Sarah, I like the idea of the olive oil, I recently started putting it in some of my foods, and it contains a lot of good calories. -------------------------------------------------------------------...

At the hospital where I work, aside from the above mentioned boost/ensure, a dietician told me about carnation instant breakfast, or its generic equivalent. I am not sure of the exact calories, but...

pb, I read an article where coke is coming out with stevia in some of their drinks, but I guess it isnt FDA approved yet. I figure they have the clout to get it done, and it will end up in almost all...
I ended up with some scarring and pitting after my long term use of prednisone, I think this is the side effect I hate most, because now that I am off it, it still stays with me.If anyone has any...
pb, curious if you saw a new article from the bbc website about shingles and some of the new immune system drugs increasing the incidence of it? it is on their health site....
Sometimes on a prednisone wean you have to deal with increased symptoms, I would even have severe flare issues even while on higher doses, and that is without any dietary changes. I am a big believer...
PSA, I didnt realize turmeric was used for so many things, how does the turmeric liquor taste? I have tried it on my foods, but it seems to stringent for my taste buds. Do you have any recipes that...
For years prednisone was the only thing that ever worked for me. And I had been on maintenance doses for prolonged periods as well. As you already know and have heard, its all the "other" things that...
Wow, I did not know this was a side effect of nexium. Does this include all PPI's??...
pr, I can definately agree that the PPI's I have taken in the past, (protonix and nexium) have both made me constipated, on top of that they made me feel weird( I know that is vague), but I never did...
I have been taking Haldi drinks for over a year now, as we all know on this board not every treatment is for everyone, but it was the only thing that has ever controlled my UC. And it is interesting...
angle, you stated you are not sleeping as well, is it due to increased stress? I always could feel a flare coming on when my life stresses increased as well....
