Hi, I am doing very well! Sounds good to hear, my only thing is I believe the more original the form, the better. Like, it may or may not be an issue in tea form cuz then it gets diluted in water,...
Wow that's all interesting stuff...I didn't even know about research that's been done or anything like that. I literally only have information from watching Dr Sebi videos. That's it! And I took a...
Yes definitely, if I can help inform just one person it is worth being put on trial. I definitely understand how debilitating UC is, I have had more than my fair share of horror stories that...
All I can do is lead a horse to water, can't make em drink...all I gotta say about that! And that's exactly my perspective that byebyeuc has on the word cure. I'm not trying to argue or put out any...
Yup I understand I'm an idiot, I get a lot of opposition from everyone, even my mom who I finally convinced to start taking it. I am an idiot who is healed, works for me!...
The specific product I am taking is from Solaray they come in capsules, I got it at a local health food store. There is not really any way to take too much of it, I am taking two capsules in the am...
I also should add that I learned about sarsaparilla from watching Dr Sebi videos on Youtube, that guy is the real deal. I am definitely not an expert, nor do I see myself as one. Here's a video with...
I'm just putting the information out to anyone concerned, I don't need a dictionary to tell me what cure means :D...
Just wanted to share what I have experienced for anyone who wants to know. Hello I am 32 and have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis since I was 27, and I have discovered through learning about...
I live in the Portland area. I go to the Oregon clinic, you can find them at http://www.theoregonclinic.com/specialty/Gastroenterology I go to the Gateway Medical Office. I like them a lot, my Dr....
Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in a while so I don't know if this has been posted, but I saw this article about a chemical found in the body, prostaglandin D2, being eleveted in people in...
I never used to use public restrooms to go #2 till getting UC! But after a while, I really didn't care anymore, I was just so happy to be able to use an actual toilet rather than a plastic bag or...
Interesting perspectives everyone has made, but I would say UC has helped me, not at all externally but internally, as it has helped me to accept my reality. It definitely is depressing to try to...
I agree with thatfield that things occur differently with different people, I would think you will have to and see, I do hope it works for you. With me, at my worst point I was going 7-10 times a day...
Yea, I had the same problem with deductibles and asacol, they wanted me to pay $950 out of pocket before the insurance kicked in, and then after that I would have to pay $120 a month, ridiculous....
Wow, reading this post reminded me of the time I had an accident in the dentists' office! I was real lucky in a way, not that I went on myself but that nobody knew, it was while I was waiting for the...
That would be nice, something like vaseline :)...
Yeah, I'm working towards a remission and my symptoms come back for a day or two, then go away again, weird. Like what you said with D and no blood. But I had one time a few days ago where blood and...
I have just recently come into what I would call a remission with sulfasalazine, although its not what it was before having UC. But I've gone from going 5-9 times a day to 1-2, and little to no...
Yeah I don't know if a representative from the lialda manufacturer would show up on here with a bogus story, but I would chime in too and say to keep taking whatever has put you in remission. I...
Frankly, I'm not convinced that FOS is such a good idea. Other makers are quite opposed to its use (see for example the first bit on prebiotics at...
http://www.crohns.net/Miva/education/articles/ohhira_bacterialcount.shtml On that site is an article about the fermentation process Dr. Ohhira's goes through. It says 5 years, but I think it's only...
Probiotics are all I take, it does seem though that different kinds work for different people, but my recommendations about them are: Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work immediately. Try them...
I use probiotics exclusively right now, I have insurance issues right now so I don't take meds. And what I have noticed about them, is that they really do work. It is overwhelming trying to find one...
I know exactly what you're talking about, I'm a truck driver so it's my job to travel also, and I tend to have more problems when on the road. I was diagnosed while a truck driver, so I only get home...
Interesting points, I did hold bm's when I was a kid, don't know if that has anything to do with it. Also, I first noticed the bad abdominal pain that I now know is uc when trying to hold peeing, I'm...
I'm not taking any meds only because my insurance wanted a 950 dollar deductible after being diagnosed last year. I was never sick until then, so I had the lowest plan, which I can't upgrade now...
I was diagnosed around 6 months ago, so I'm fairly new to the disease also. But I've found that probiotics help a lot to reduce the symptoms, if you find the right one. I first tried primal defense...
I found out about this probiotic called primal defense from garden of life that seems to work well. The one I take is primal defense ultra, it has 5 billion strains per capsule. It seems to work...
