another proof here: http://www.webmd.com/ibd-crohns-disease/crohns-disease/news/20111031/southerners-may-be-less-likely-to-have-crohns Should we move to Florida? It seems that levels of 60-70ng/ml...
I was wrong, I spoke to Klinipharm and they do sell a good product and it is the enteric covered lecithin, so it should work. I guess the timing when you take it is important, the stomch must be...
I don't see the reason why the widely available GRAS lecithin would require FDA approval. If it would, why would not the fish oil require FDA approval as well? Only because the german doctor patented...
Does anybody know where to get the enteric coated lecithin? It was proven to improve UC in multiple studies. The delayed release PC (rPC) is a patented product by Dr. Wolfgang Stremmel:...
My understanding is that Klinipharm's product is a sponge collagen lecithin, it is NOT a delayed release PC, it has never been through any clinical trials and is being developed by Dr. Wolfgang...
It looks like vitamin D supplements are indeed useful in IBD: http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Vitamins/vitamin_d3_prevents_relapse_of_crohn_s_disease_0403110319.html I will resume...
Marshall has not been proven in any clinical trials and probably is mostly applicable to treatment of sarcaidosis. It don't think it has any use for UC. However, what Dr. Wolcott says about biofilms...
what they say is that the low vitamin D in inflammatory diseases is not the cause but the consequence of it. And they also suspect that UC in particular could be caused by pathological bacteria...
In light of the latest research it seems like taking vitamin D supplements could be dangerous - it could make the vitamin D receptor in the cells less sensitive and as a result down-regulate many...
E Coli Nissle is sold as Mutaflor. A canadian company distributes it, not sure if they can ship it. I would probably just travel to Canada or better to Germany and get various probiotics - they must...
Some users on this thread and some others here said that that some of them got worse. On the other hand there was a similar study by Dr. McCann who used just 1-5 probiotic strains combined with...
E coli Nissle had a good success rate in treating UC, however it did not seem to have the ability to permanently colonize, most likely because the other microbes are better adapted to survive in your...
According to Borody, the success of this procedure averages 50%. Recent findings by Borody and also researchers from Germany confirm that it is possible to replace and maintain a distinct new...
here is a pilot study on the subject: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11121904...
Sounds like expensive stuff that probably is not for an active UC. I take instead NAG from Jarrow for $12 and delayed release L-glutamine from MHP ($35 for 1000grams). I could not find NAG in any...
here are some statements that partially support it: http://colitis-boswellia.com/treating-a-patient-with-ulcerative-colitis.html...
no I don't know of any supporting material, this is just my speculation based on intuition, otherwise it is hard to explain why 1. it gradually becomes less effective for some patients and 2. some...
I think that UC is a combination of genetic susceptibility to weaker and slower formation of colon mucosa protective layer and environmental exposure to pathogenic adhesive bacteria strains. Stress...
here is a more detailed paper on the subject: http://www.jci.org/articles/view/45538 I am not a biochemist, but it seems as though NAG may help to prolong remission. It might also feed bad bacteria...
Latest research shows that people with UC may genetically lack some proteins that help build the protective layer in the colon: http://omrf.org/2011/04/11/omrf-finds-defective-sugar-root-colitis/ Has...
