Major help for me.. I started with capsules, but not enough.. you need about 4-5g x 3 times a day. Now I take the body-building type powder L_Glutamine. Probably most effective supplement for me....

A jelly bean binge.. wow, never tried one of those before (lol). This place is bad for picking up ideas. Yes, I know the feeling of regret after the 6th T break in the night.. last one of those I did...

I've tried before, but the sugar and fructose in it plays havoc with my gut, not to mention drinking a lot of soy. I'd like to try some body builder type protein whey drinks though.. if I could find...

OP, you might want to try another starter kit with similar specs are people listing here, eGO style ones, or clearomizers. Cartomizers are a hassle to fill replaceables, though good for travelling....

wvarcher72, you should really take a look into ecigs/vaping.. it delivers the nicotine like cigarettes, minus the additives, tar, and toxic effects. It's really technical to get started, but there's...

I'm on 6MP, and really don't see much good/bad from it. I do know it takes a while to kick in as well, so I don't see it as a quick fix drug in any case (I'm not a doctor though).. from my exp. it...

I'm doing the whole nicotine thing right now (did spray for a week or so, have done tobacco in past, and will be using vapes soon). Have noticed some reduction in symptoms, and of course it's a nice...

Hey Moss and Bland.. thanks for the info. Yeah very interesting.. and as I suspected with patches.. just not the same as smoking, vaping or rapid intake. I'm currently testing out the oral spray.....

Hi Meghan, Welcome to the world of medicine and pharmaceuticals and "science", which coexists with the actual 'reality' of things. They can't officially diagnose you with anything unless it's a...

Don't worry, I had an "accident" today, that sent me to bed for the rest of the day. It happens to everyone. You're doing fine, and you're not "an idiot".. our bodies are like machines, if they screw...

Agree with the above.. as a previous social smoker, and now testing out Nicotine "therapy". It seems hard to get addicted to patches, sprays, etc. there's a possibility with ecigs I imagine. Though,...

It's probably easier to just eliminate all obvious high fibre, high residue foods, like fibrous vegetables, wheat fibre, corn, unrefined grains, vegetable skins, etc. Pretty much everything else, and...

I followed SCD for about 16 months without cheating.. but didn't work as a fix.. just reduced symptoms. Now I just do mostly paleo, but cheat occasionally. I'm a bit over the whole diet fanaticism...

The problem with these studies is that they never mention the OTHER habits of people in the study.. do they supplement their diet with Coke and a few kilos of cakes? Are they smoking? Do they eat...

It doesn't affect my work too much (Info Tech.), but it does have an effect on socials etc.. I can't just turn up and eat sandwiches and coke like everyone. Today was "pancake day", guess who didn't...

I would also be looking at what kind of foods/drinks people have in cold vs hot.. more coffee and hot drinks? Heavier foods? I know I go for salads and more fruit/veg in summer than Winter. I'm not...

Surprised to see this on Mercola's site.. he usually sticks with psuedo-science at least, and food combining has no evidence scientifically whatsoever. In fact, it seems the human race has survived...

I agree, Pred shouldn't be causing such pain. If you do taper, make sure you set a realistic schedule like 5mg per week or something slow. Also interesting that you take it twice daily instead of...

Hmm, I went from Dipentum to Salofalk (the other way), but never had much of a reaction to Dipentum, in fact it did pretty much nothing. How are you taking it? What was the reason you were switched?...

I also took a 5 year break since returning here. The war stories don't really bother me now.. in fact, it helps me to feel I don't have it too bad compared to some in constant pain here. Also, don't...

Keep us updated on the potato juice.. since it also have resistant carbs in it, and I'm interested in that. Had to laugh re the joe shmoe eating potato chips on the couch. I was just telling my...

Hmm that's a tricky one. Has he actually be diagnosed with UC/CD? How about any other GI probs instead, such as celiac, or IBS or other? It just sounds a bit odd that he has D. and stomach pain, but...

I've also noted L-Glutamine is very helpful, and not just for healing, but also for sleeping.. seems to aid in GABA release....

bananas and yogurt lately.. I'm ok with eating the same food for long periods at a time....
