colitismaster, I'm interested... how do you do the fasting? and how often?...
Hi all, The SCD diet also did not work for me. I had great success with fruitarian diets and the Gerson diet, but both were too labor intensive or restricting to stay on for long. I slowly and...
Dear Moderator, I'm confused... I thought this is where we share information. How do I share the information with out "promoting?" Should I not mention the facebook forum, or not mention the clinic I...
When you say "me too" does that mean you have tried helminthic therapy?...
Greetings Everyone! (This therapy has been effective for some people with RA. I happen to have ulcerative colitis, but wanted to share this here, to be helpful.) I first found this forum probably 2...
Greetings Everyone! (This therapy has been effective for some people with Psoriasis. If fact the owner of the clinic that I went to used to have psoriasis. I happen to have ulcerative colitis, but...
Greetings Everyone! I first found this forum probably 2 years ago, and I did well controlling my UC with diet and organic foods for about a year. Then starting in Jan 2011 I had three flairs...

I started on Raw Milk last Friday and I'm doing great. I'm having 1 BM of solid stools in the morning, and maybe two little BMs during the day. I feel very "normal". I feel good! No gas, no bloating,...
First, that "pus" thing, is the grossest thing I've ever heard! I will never touch non-organic dairy again! I have always been a big dairy lover since I was a kid, but had to give it up a year and a...
Hey Everyone, I had a bit of a down turn last night and this morning. But I don't yet think it is due to the raw milk. Especially since I was feeling so good and improved so much with it. I had an...
Hi killcolitis, I definitely improved with the FTs. My BMs got much more solid, but I also got gasy, bloated and produced more mucus than before. Also, since my donor is a mid-day producer, FTs took...
killcolitis, I looked up Jini Patel Thompson and became interested in an article she wrote about raw (unpasturized) milk. I always loved milk and cheese and I've been a little bitter that with UC...
tesaktz, I felt sickly while trying to hold the FT, I also remember feeling tired as part of the over all sickly feeling. I did three FTs in 4 days a week ago. I was in pretty good shape before that,...
Jeanneac, What is VSL #3 ?...
kk217 Congratulations!!! There was another member who did FTs during her pregnancy. If I remember right, the pregnancy may have encouraged her UC to flare-up. The FTs kept her less symptomatic, then...
hi Everyone, I did my 3rd Ft yesterday and thismorning I have seen more improvement again. I had mostly solid stools, kind of medium size. So I'm very encouraged by the improvements I've seen. But i...
tesaktz, My understanding is that mesalamine is an anti-inflamatory, so I don't think it will kill off any bacteria. However, the antibiotics you are taking will. Do you currently have bleeding...
I've seen some improvement /community/emoticons/tongue.gif ! I did my second FT yesterday and this morning half of my BM was solid (the second half, not so much). But still! That's an improvement! I...
Btw, I just did my 2nd FT about 4 hours ago. I decided to not change my diet much. Fiber (especially raw vegetables and green leafies like lettuce) has been very damaging to my system since I got UC....
I'm not sure. I don't know anything about your ages, or health history. I also don't know what the SCD diet is. What is it? I'm interested and would like to know. You could ready to Brorody article...
The coffee enemas are part of the Gerson Cancer therapy (not designed for UC). The theory is that our bodies are constantly breaking down cancer cells, virus cells, dead cells, bacteria, impurities,...
My donor had "performance issues" yesterday (haha!), so I'll be doing my second FT today....
I believe the coffee enemas helped me. But I can't really be sure. I improved so fast that first 7 days I used them, but I also ate the Gerson diet. By the third week, I had slipped from the Gerson...
Just a quick update: I have only noticed small changes in my symptoms so far. My BM this morning was more pasty rather than liquid. And my lower digestive system seems quieter and calmer. I'm...
I read the history of this posting from the beginning, and I saw that some people have tried using a fork, others mushing it about in a plastic bag, but the most effective method is a blender. I was...
Okay, I just did my first FT, and I have to admit, I was in denial about the gross factor. I had read and read and read about this, but it stayed a mental abstract science experiment. Right up until...
Oops! Typo - I eas on 1200 mg Asacol x 3 daily and went down to 1200mg x 1 daily, then went down to none....
Hi Everyone, I'm new. I'm a 45 y/o woman in Atlanta and the first time I got UC I was 26 y/o. I was sick for 2 years before going into remission. I still have no idea why or how I went into...
