That is probably part of it yes, I would also toss in vaccines, antibiotics taken and in food products, causing the death of rare good bacteria and letting the resistant bad bacteria to overgrow. Add...
Don't know if this will help but you can try an enema with iodine like Iosol brand. You have to mix like 6 drops with 4 ounces of water. try and hold it in, first time you probably can't then 2nd...

Fever and sweating can be part of a flareup, also if your body cannot tolerate Asacol at higher dosage, then Asacol could add to your fever. I would give it at least 3 weeks and see if you improve or...
Well I think you are on to it with part of it being psychological which can be difficult to stop. I was thinking maybe the time of the morning you eat breakfast or drink something, try adjusting that...
I always used Jarrows Brand, but it probably isn't as good as quality at Florastor....
I use xylitol, stevia, if I am trying to avoid processed sugar. Really can't avoid it entirely, but at least cut back on it....
Sir Crapsalot did this treatment way back in summer last year I wonder how he is doing now. His last post was August 2010 and he hasn't posted a message on this board since....

It is probably one of the drugs you are on causing side effects would be my guess....
I don't want to say PD is a bad product, the reviews are glowing on Amazon and most web stores. I just think maybe some of us are very sensitive to some of the bacterias, either that or we are so...
That bacteria is available in Primal Defense, it is a soil based organism. I've been taking Primal Defense for a about a week, and it made me go like crazy with dark diarrhea. Whether it is cleansing...
I have had weird stuff in my throat yes, not sure how to explain it, but made it hard to initiate to swallow water, as if it wanted to go down the wrong pipe, but more solid food didn't have a...
Just keep in mind what works for one person doesn't work for another. Whether it is drugs, probiotics, or diets. Just keep experimenting and searching for answers is all you can do, and don't count...
My sis had similar weird issues going on all the time, as me as well, so far only thing that helped her to this point was these expensive tinctures from a natural doctor. I am giving it a go myself,...
Yes that is good news, surprised what your own body can do sometimes. Cocoa is cardio friendly?...
Depends on how much and what you eat. If you clean up a bag of Snicker bars, then you may want to slow it down a bit :P...
Looking at the ingredients that drink is nothing more than a Whey protein product mixed with a mulitvitamin and given a special name. Find a good quality Whey protein mix, take a multivitamin and you...
Once again I can relate to what someone is going through I this board. I began to have bloodshot eyes just this last year and also had an episode of flashing zig zag floaties. This all goes back to...
I don't think it is possible to have a colonscopy without at least being half way knocked out, my general doctor said he awoke during his and said it was painful. Sigmoid scopes you don't have to be...
I've been trying primal defense recently and the other nite I had very dark movements, with like a tint of green to it. I don't know if it is the same as yours exactly. Also see stuff floating in the...
Just by chance are you taking primal defense probiotic?...
Your dentist should do the research on fluoride. It only helps your teeth when applied to the outside not ingested, the original claim has been proven false about ingesting it. It is a known poison,...
Maybe try juice fasting for a day or two? fresh made carrot and cabbage juice, with apple tossed in. Cabbage and carrot juice is suppose to be good for colon and healing. Just tossing out an idea....
I think the only thing you have left is to try a natural doctor or try a few of them, the cause of UC isn't being addressed and treating the symptoms no longer is working. My sister had all kinds of...
There are lots of different filters, I have a RO unit in my house, but they can be a real pain for maintenance as they can get bacteria in the tank easily, and the filters are a pain to change. With...
Well said princesa, Conspiracy theorist, haha, yeah more like a conspiracy fact, name calling like that is always used to try and shut people up. Doctors tend to be taught a narrow line of thinking...
only thing I can think of is something that might bulk up your stools or slow things down. Maybe oatmeal or something to that effect. Psyllium fiber has helped some people, but isn't really a food....
There is less money to be made finding a cure when you can treat symptoms for the life of the person. Number one reason there hasn't been a cure for anything since maybe polio years ago. Canansa,...
Small amount of poison are what a some drugs are made of, your thinking is basically in line with this. Think of chemo-therapy, basically a high level of poisoning to your entire body in an attempt...
I posted a message asking about increased bleeding from Canasa and the like, it made me nervous as well, and not sure if the canasa increased the bleeding or if it was coincidence. Also taking Lialda....

Thanks for the reply's, I may give it another try or so and see what happens. I wish it would work especially for the $80 it cost. I don't have a problem with aspirin at all so that isn't it. One...
Hi Q, well I've been on Lialda samples the doctors office gave me to try and the Solafalk are of 1 gr dosage. There is no doubt the blood did increase by quite a bit the one time I tried the...
bostwis1, I kind of have similar experience as you, I don't seem to have much luck with the standard meds either, no idea if they do anything, at this point even pred doesn't help much to stop my...
Used a Salofalk suppository for the first time and next morning I had lots more bleeding than I had been having, kind of afraid to use it again, or this just a passing side effect?...
In the past I have taken sulfa with vitamins and supplements and it made no difference. I always took it with food and helps to drink extra water. If any side effect I got from sulfa is was it made...
yeah it definitely affects mine....
The OP is using the patches, not smoking, and using them starting off with 7mg patch then working up to 15mg patch. There is no need to smoke. The research results I found on the patches seem...
Has anyone tried the gum? It is a lot cheaper, but I am thinking it delivers the nicotine in short strong bursts instead of slowly over the day with the patch....
There has been times when I shot slippery elm mix in my butt and if I retained it, seem to knock down inflammation for a while....
