Here is a quick update and brief history... I was on Lialda for about 4 years and for some strange reason I began to get bad side effects and it seemed to just stop working on top of that. Prior to...
Thank you Sibby! I'll keep this updated for others to view. Hopefully it may help someone....
Sibby how long have you been on it? Also is it the only medication that you are taking?...
Thank You Sibby! My Gastro prescribed it for me which I was super surprised and happy. My pharmacy compounded the liquid for me and I started at 1.125mg day 1. Day 2 I took 2.25mg Last night was day...
I was just prescribed LDN and I was wondering what to expect. Guardian7 you mentioned that 4.5mg was too much? How does one know if it's too much? Are there side effects or issues I should look out...
quincy said... doesn't get high enough...lol. That's a good reason to not use them. q I'm guessing your mocking my answer? Please do tell? That is what my DR. has told me......
Good Luck! Good Luck! Good Luck! All will go fine!...
notsosicklygirl said... Have you considered trying some rectal medications? They may be helpful and they are topical. Rowasa but it really doesn't get up high enough. Boy I miss my 6mp......
princesa said... What about your diet for the day... did you eat anything different than usual? No not that I can think of....
notsosicklygirl said... bear, I have heard about a lot of people experienceing bad symptoms due to fish oil. I would think that would be more probematic than curcurmin but as quincy said, it's a...
notsosicklygirl said... Did you ever try switchiing from sulfasalazine to a more modern mesalamine? It may help get your symptoms at bay. I undersand you would ike to try a natural approach but I...
Yes, 6 sulfa daily 2 packs vsl#3ds 2 teaspoons af all three Natren products 2X daily 1 tablespoon of psyllium seed powder 2x daily 1 teaspoon L glutamine in the morning only 9 AMP Floracel (Aloe)...
Chicken and rice for dinner. I have been taking 2 of the Megared Krill oils for about a month with no real issues, but thought it would be more of a benefit to upgrade? I did read some information on...
I stopped at my local Vitamine Shoppe on the way home and picked up Curcumin 900mg caps and also Nordic Naturals Omega 3. After dinner I opened one Curcumin cap and dumped about 1/2 in the sink then...
I agree with all of the above. It's impossible for anyone to fully understand unless they live it. Even after 26yrs since diagnosed still to this day I don't really speak in depth with anyone because...
I have been taking all 3 of the Natren products for about a month now and I have not had any problems at all. I did start out with just a 1/4 teaspoon of each of the 3 for about a week in the...
Thanks princesa! One more question if you don't mind? I tried the olive leaf starting on Friday the 23rd and I was on 2 250mg pills daily to start. By Sunday I had bad stabbing pains in my gut. I...
Thanks for the input! princesa said... LTYG is only one of several UC/digestive health books in my "library," but I did find it to be extremely thorough and helpful. An interesting aspect of LTYG I...
Thanks for the info... I should have included this in the original thread. I do take 2 packs of VSL#3DS daily and added to that I also take 1 teaspoon of each of the 3 natren products as well with no...
I'm currently taking 6 sulfa's a day and would love to get off of them completely if possible. So the question is what whould be the best anti inflammatory to replace the sulfa? I was considering...
I was wondering if anyone has tried or has had any long term success with the guidance of this book? I'm currently going to try the olive leaf therapy and see if I have any success. I'll certainly...
Things seem to have leveled off. I think I just went too much too fast. Thanks for all of the input!...
Hey Indycat23, Thanks for the input. I realize results will vary but just out of curiosity did you notice any difference once starting that dosage?...
Most of the information I read suggested 2 to 3 table spoons 2X daily. I really don't know what a healthy dose is for someone with UC....
I apologize if this topic is in another post but I failed to find it. Has anyone had any negative effects taking psyllium seed powder? I just started 4 days ago and I’m currently taking 3...
mom2girls said... Bearjohnson - I know it was a while ago when you started 6mp but do you remember how long it took to start working once you were in the right dose? I was one of the few cases so I'm...
Hey mom2girls, Sorry to hear all that you have going on. I can say from experience that 6mp was a miracle cure all for me. I was on 75mg for over 10yrs and all was great. I would say if you can give...
NiRo said... That's really odd that it would do that after 10 years - kinda scary! I wonder if it would help if you took it before sleeping at night (sleeping off the symptoms)? Was your blood work...
Dizzy and shallow breathing or shortness of breath. I even stopped taking the drug for about 3 weeks all went away. Then the DR. told me to start taking a half a pill daily and believe it or not I...
princesa said... VSL#3 has become so mainstream, I believe I've seen it at places like Walmart and Kroger. The other items you mention will probably have to be found at Whole Foods or a drugstore in...
Thanks! I went on Asacol in the past and it really didn't do as well for me as the sulfa. Also tried the Rowasa rectal meds and they helped but once the 6MP kicked in I really didn't need the Rowasa...
As the title says I'm a noob so please be patient if I'm a little slow. Have had UC for the past 26 years and like all of us most treatments are hit and miss so here is my story. For the past 10+...
