After a severe bout of UC, treated with high dose Prednisone, I was unable to walk for a week, with severe full body pain and weakness. I thought perhaps I had not tapered adequately and was having...
I've been eating, essentially, the same thing every day for dinner. Two sweet potatoes, baked until nice and crispy, SLATHERED with two or three tablespoons of coconut oil, then topped with a few...
I get pain all through my joints -- knees, hips, hands -- but mostly the pain is a dull ache in the muscles of my arms and legs, shoulders and back. It feels as if the fibres of the muscles are taut,...
UC Prisoner, If you have been utilizing corticosteroids any time in the last year, what you're experience could what they call "pseudo-rheumatism," which is arthritis-like joint inflammation tied to...
What I've learned by experimenting with fasting and the elimination diet is how subtle the effects of these many types of foods are on our immune response. That is to say, while a king sized Snickers...
BeatUC, I'm glad you have found some of that research I mentioned, and also dug your heels in and achieved total remission using this difficult method, as I did. It's not easy! And definitely not for...
Kiptyn, How long do you usually fast when you do? Just water? Or anything else?...
Coconut oil reduces systemic inflammation, including UC, apparently. I'm trying to get my dad on it, as a preventative measure against Alzheimer's, but he doesn't like the taste. Whatever dad! Just...
Back on point, fasting is difficult and not for everyone, but quickly brings frequency of BMs under control and, if done correctly, can reliably induce a remission of symptoms. The rationale is that...
(Offensive and against forum rules.)...
Fasting is an ancient time-tested "cure all" and I recommend it whole heartedly. But you can't half-ass it, that's the thing. The research on the topic of fasting suggests that only a total...
I'm afraid I must disagree with the majority of the well-meaning but uninformed advice being given on this thread. The research on the topic of fasting suggests that only a total abstinence from all...
The adrenal fatigue induced by the corticosteroids left me unable to walk, incredibly weakened, and with pain throughout my entire body (pseudo-rheumatism.) All of this is common with Prednisone...
Callah, You may wish to rethink your cocktail ingredients. L-Glutamine is only effective for healing digestive tract tissue when taken on a totally empty stomach. I try to take a high dose in the...
Rockon, Awesome link. That stuff about cellular restructuring and generation of new mitochondria after just 16 hours of fasting is really phenomenal. It makes sense that oxidative stress damages our...
Anybody else tried fasting for their condition, other than Cimorene? I have a link the the Joel Fuhrman, MD book, if anyone's interested. He provides a lot of solid peer-review research behind his...
FASTING? Has anybody tried fasting? I have fasted for long periods (13 days drinking only water and tea) and felt phenomenally clean, energetic, and young afterwards. I looked quite young too,...

Yes, Spring Valley fish oil is purified to remove mercury. Chemical analysis shows mercury levels at 1 PPB (Upper Limit=10 PPB) and PCB levels <0.01 PPM. For comparison's sake, the much more...
Please be careful chugging cod liver oil. While it is safe to take standard fish oil in high doses, cod liver oil additionally has high levels of vitamin D -- high even at regular doses. Taking...
That's interesting. Fish Oil has been shown to be well-tolerated by UC patients, even those in the midst of a flare. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1553930...
Has anyone else had tried taking LOTS of fish oil during UC flares? I just buy the high omega content two-for-one Spring Valley fish oil, from Walmart or wherever its cheapest, and take HANDFULS with...
Bananas help the UC condition, as they are prebiotic. The starches of a green banana are especially appealing to beneficent gut bacteria (although, not so appealing to us!) Ideally, take your...
Yes, but remember also that Asian populations do not contract ulcerative colitis -- rarely, if ever. Jewish populations, for whatever reason, are at highest risk. I mash ginger coins in with my green...
L-Glutamine will heal the lining of the intestines quickly, the only trouble is getting it there intact. When taken orally, much of the amino is absorbed in the stomach and small intestine before it...
These are distinct from both turmeric and curcumin in that BCM-95 are formulated for maximum bioavailability -- up to 10x as potent as pure rhizome curcumin (which is already a 30 to 40x stronger...
I too have fasted for long periods (13 days drinking only water and tea) and felt phenomenally clean, energetic, and young afterwards. I looked quite young too, somehow. Many people mentioned the...
