Spinach and sunflower seed diet. But I am down to only having about a can a week on spinach. Unless I start to feel like a flare is coming on. Then i go back to eating a can a day for a week or so....
Hi all... its been awhile since I've been on here. Just stoppin back in to say thanks to all of you on here. I was really bad a few years ago. Surfing the internet one day, I found you guys. And you...
Have had c-diff. But that was about 6 months before the onset of my first flare. I still believe 100% in my heart that that is what started my UC. Not saying it caused it... but it sure started my...
I've never tried any other way except for at breakfast time. And I was never told to take it with a meal. Which is good cause I only eat break fast 2 days out of 7. LOL. My GI said to take it in the...
I am one of the daily drinkers. But... But... I never drink much daily... One or two heinekin lites a day. Docs say its good for heart. GI, sees no problems with it. But as soon as I notice any sort...

Thanks Red... You were the only one who answered my question. The rest was just tout ing the evils of tanning beds. LOL. I wasn't recommending tanning.... I was just throwing a question out there. We...
Has anyone noticed any difference in their UC when using a tanning bed. The tanning bed used to clear up my Psoriasis... Not sure if it was the warm bed or the vitamin D. Just curious now if anyone...
congrats...
My weight shifts between 190 ( summer ) 210 (winter)... I'm 6 foot tall. And with my frame the doc's say I'm about right. Most I've ever weighed was 220 and that was 16 years ago before I started my...
have already been using the but meds.... since the first sign something was wrong I went back to the suppositories... figured it sure can't hurt....
My doc recomended every two years unless there was a major change or problem...
2nd day- update---- No urngecy... bloody gas--- no poop. I think I'm back to constipated. I'm going to call my GI today. Maybe he can put me on a short round of pred. or something. Really want to...
Have been doing great for almost a year... oh sure I've had the occassional bad day... but as long as I was faithful to my lialda and my spinach/sumflower regime the bad days were few and far between...
buffalo chicken dip. maybe some wings. heinekin lite. Maybe even some chips and french onion dip....
Okay this home remedy worked for me for years before UC. I haven't had a cold since being diagnosed ( wonder why? thats weird, oh well ). Not sure if this would be so great now with the UC issue but...
since your asking for ideas.... quite a few of us here ( myself included ) have had good luck with the spinach and sunflower seed diet. I am also on Lialda. I agree with others here. Get with a good...
I had one after my colonoscopy... I called the nurse at the Doc's office and she never called me back for 3 days. I'm not sure if that means its not important or not. I know it ticked me off bad at...
Just east of Canton, Ohio...
Old Hat... I can't remember.... were you a chiro? I was thinking there was a chiro on this board? Anyways I was just wondering if horseshoers were a big part of all chiro's business? LOL. The one I...
Cranberry and Cherry juice are natural anti inflamatories. Those along with sunflower seeds. Years ago I found a book of old time cures and they suggested cherries or cherry juice and sunflower seeds...
Old hat.... I am a horseshoer. I tried back braces years ago and they just cut into me plus my back came to depend on them and actually got weaker. Luckily though that was the first time in 15 years...
Thanks.. I take it infrequently. So I doubt theres much of a addiction issue for me. And my docs watch it alot. They only give me 20 pills with no refills. I have to call them when i need more and if...
Due to my job being quite physical, I used to take Ibuprofen on a daily basis. Now I obviously can't take that. My docs have suggested I take vicadin when the pains get bad... ( and deal with the...
I'm glad your diet regime works for you. But I too am one of the ones who red meat doesn't affect. Or alcohol ( in moderation ) ( although my moderation is probably alot more than most of you. LOL )...
I have UC. I do not have celiacs disease ( I was tested for it ). But I do know without a doubt when I was at my worst for flaring I started eating gluten free, and my symptoms lessoned by at least...
the sound of running water has done that to me for ever. I thought it was just me. When we were kids we would go down to play at the creek and no sooner would I get near the creek then I would have...
Any hunters on this forum? I had an experience that you all will apreciate this evening. I'm in remission but I still get urgency. Not bad, I can hold it awhile but after my last flare I get nervous,...

Am in remission currently. But last night as per tradition we had saurkraut and pork at midnight. Supposed to bring good luck. That along with the usual beers for the holiday, as well as shrimp,...
I have started taking some picture. For now I'm just saving them on a disk. Down the road I'll try to pull it all together in book form. Once again thanks for that idea. Elephant... thats a good idea...
As for me... I find that beer actually seems to help my gut.If I drink to much though I have problems. Exception to the rule is heineken or heineken lite. I have to really really consumer to much for...
Thanks for the idea ACk. I honestly had never considered pictures, but now that you say that it is something I had forgotten about....
Okay... as some of you may remember, when my work slows down in the winter I started writing a cookbook. Actually two cookbooks. One for single guys ( a mans cookbook ) and one for UC friendly...
Yep I eat beef. I raise my own and its leaner ( and better tasting ) than comercially grown beef. I would definately recomend you go to a local butcher and purchase your meat. I know its an extra...
Doc will probably call me tomorrow. The nurse called with with my results late this afternoon and the doc had already left for the day. My doc hasn't seen the test results yet. I guess another day or...
okay.... from what little I have read so far ( and I'm done for tonight ) This idea of lack of vitamin D goes along with Cfromutah's magnesium from spinach and sunflowerseeds. Seems Low mag and low D...
Okay after reading some posts on here I had my general practioner check my levels. My mag is perfectly normal... of course I eat the spinach a couple times a week. I did notice significant results...
