I was diagnosed with UC in 1990. I took prednisone, pentasa, and asacol over a course of three years. Then I began researching HEALTH and digging into potential CAUSES for my condition; concepts...
Jen O , the natural foods folks say that once a day is not enough if you are eating a healthy diet of whole foods. I have been cured for a year and a half after twenty years of UC and I go about 1-3...
I did not "treat" my colitis with meds for 17 years and I finally cured it about a year and a half ago with nutrition and diet. I understand your concern about cancer and not treating your colitis -...
There is a lot of misconception out there about healthy foods. The medical people seem to be the most misinformed of all. Try Michael Pollen's books for a fresh big-picture look at eating well....
Adam, there is nothing wrong with high-quality chocolate or ice cream. Just make sure that they are made from real food, not chemicals....
I was diagnosed in 1990. I threw away the meds in 1993. I gradually became better with whole foods and supplements, but had no formed bowel movements ever. A year and a half ago, I started putting a...
The aloe juice heals, the pear/apple thing cleans. Probiotics provide an environment to grow digestive enzymes. I find it strange that people say to use things like metamucil, then tell you to peel...
very strange...
"Processed" - It's all in the ingredients. If the pizza has tomatoes, real cheese, yeast, salt, oregano, olive oil, whole wheat or unbleached flour (NO pepperoni!), then it's OK. If it's full of...
I do eat bread, but only bread made with real food. Most restaurant and grocery store bread has chemicals in it. Also, I make most of our bread with part whole grain. Once your colon is in chemical...
I was dianosed in 1990. I threw away all of the poisonous meds in 1993. I gradually got better through whole foods and supplements. I became completely cured in April 2008, one week after I began...
A doctor caused my UC and a doctor made it worse. Only after I threw away the drugs and learned how to be healthy did I become better. It took me years, but I am now textbook-perfect in the bathroom...
Chuck, have you tried George's Aloe Vera Juice? Also, my best tool has been one cup of water, one cored pear, one cored apple in the blender (skins left on) every morning. What kind of cardboard food...
Kim123, you are spot-on. I think that all prescription and OTC drugs are potentially very harmful. Antibiotics definately so, as you mentioned. Our doctors are causing chemical confusion in the...
sorry - my post is not landing where i'm posting it - ???...
I chased food for years, and like you I also tried very hard to decide which foods and how long after eating would I react, etc. Then I came at the problem differently and began eating only healthy,...
Do not ever drink pop again, either artificially sweetened or HFCS-sweetened. As for a fiber supplement, go to a good health food store and get a fruit fiber supplement - much more gentle and...
I was diagnosed in 1990. I threw away the drugs in 1993. I cured myself gradually through diet and supplements and have been perfectly great since April 2008....
Sorry - too many typos! Time for bed, no doubt....
No surgary, no drugs, no doctors. I had colitis for 20 years and have been free for 1 1/2 years - not a remission, but I am confident a cure. Eat only real food - it does not matter if it is spricy...
"Stress" is the doctors' way of blaming the patient. I had colitis for twenty years. I threw away the meds 17 years ago. I became gradually better through whole, real foods and supplements. I have...
I chased foods around for years. What turned out to be a better approach is to replace your intestinal flora with good-quality probiotics, then eat only real food. This means no chain restaurants...
I'm not on any wagon except only eat real food - once your tastebuds get used to only real food, you don't want any of the chemical crap....
Hi- My colon was always great until I was put into the hospital with preterm labor 21 years ago. They stuck IVs (with what I later found out was an experimental drug) into me, and my bowels started...
