yes I've got the same opinion as well, we can easily survive with water mixed with something else. But my concern is on the long term, as stated in the article. Also, this article says you better...
Yes I agree with you, and my pee is clear so I think I'm well hydrated. But this article says no matter you don't feel thirsty or your pee is clear, if you don't take water alone you can develop...
hi, "but who DOESN'T drink water" When you drink around 1.5L per day of water mixed with fruits and vegetables that's tough to add 1.5L of plain water.......
Guys we were all wrong unfortunately. I found a detailed source (in french, translated by google below) explaining water has to be taken free of anything else, not mixed, or the body will consider it...
Hi, This is an enzyme produced by the silkworm that can fight against inflammation and dissolve bad tissues. Here is what I read: Source: http://www.onlineholistichealth.com/enzyme-serrapeptase/ Just...
Hi Charlie, thanks for your question. First, I banned all dairy from my diet, so you won't find any yogourt or butter in my smoothies :) I also avoid oranges because they are a bit agressive for the...
Guys to clarify I'm not taking those smoothies during lunch/diner, I'm having them for snacks during the afternoon in general, and sometimes morning. cheers...
Hi engblom, thanks for your opinion that really makes sense. But to make smoothies I have to use water, impossible without :) When you mix fruits in fact you simplify digestion for the stomach so I...
Very good idea imagardener2 I didnt think of this, my pee is between light and deep I think, so eveything's right fortunately...
Thanks for your replies guys In fact I don't really know if I'm dehydrated or not, I just know I'm never thirsty during the day and also I'm having normal several pees in the day. Juststud I have an...
hi guys, I drink a lot of Smoothies in the day, I make them myself with fruit and vegetables and water. in total I drink around 1.5L of water per day that is in the smoothes. I never drink water as...
Hi, Is there somebody who can kindly tell me what side effects he/she had with this medicine please? I read the list on the official website, but as they always write all that stuff I prefer to have...
If you can, buy vivomixx from their website, it's way cheaper...
Hi, I've been in contact with Vivomixx team, and their product is strictly identical to the VSL3 (the original one). I bought some vivomixx sachets, they taste the same as the VSL3 took a few years...
Yep that's lies, the previous quoted message comes from vsl3 staff, you can contact them via their website. I am not confident about that vivomixx, even less after what you just said :)...
I've contacted the vsl3 company, their product is still on the market, they said vivomixx is not affiliated with them, here is their detailed answer: ...
Hi guys, so is this Vivomixx the same as Vsl3 ? Why did they changed the name whereas it was working very well for thousands people and known all over the world? That's weird... They sold the license...
That's very enthousiasting for Crohn http://www.fiercebiotech.com/story/crohns-expert-flags-blockbuster-potential-and-frets-celgenes-mongersen/2015-03-19...
Thank you Guardian7, I lack a bit of vocabulary in english and you sum my thoughts the right way with better words :)...
And just a remark, I'm not trying to force anybody to adopt this diet, I'm just trying to share and help. I would have been glad to learn this valuable info at the time I were flaring my a$$....
Guys that's not the right way to see things. I mean, I see lots of you saying "oh it doesn't hurt me I feel ok when I eat x or y, so it's not bad for me". That's really not the right way to proceed....
All the foods that are not part of the "origins foods" (ie foods eaten by our ancestors) are not made for us (colitis or not). That's my opinion. Also, about dairy, they contain many antibiotics, cow...
Basics do exist, processed foods, dairy, for example. You won't get in remission very long if you eat them....
I opened another thread especially for solanacaes and their risks: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=3354326 ...
Guys ok diet is personnal, but there are basics that should apply to everybody suffering from UC. Avoiding solanacaes is one of them. I notice you almost all say "potatoes are fine for me" whereas...
just buy an android :) ok let's see if I can edit the links Edit; someone has done it before me, thank you...
just copy/paste them in your browser ^^...
Hi mate, Thanks for your precisions. In fact I think solanacaes have more inconvenients than advantages (even if they have some that's true). For a "normal" person, they can be part of their diet,...
Hi, It's an important information for all the Crohn and Colitis people. I can't see it shared very often... Those foods, called Solanacaes (or nightshades), which are: Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants,...
and a good article about nightshades (=solanacaes) http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/08/the-whys-behind-autoimmune-protocol.html...
juststud : - Naturally occurring glycoalkaloids in potatoes aggravate intestinal inflammation in two mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20198430 - Potato...
No problem mate, we have not the same thoughts, but anyway I wish you all the best of course, in order to fight this flare and be in remission again. Cheers...
ok you are in flare, so ask yourself if it could be good to remove potatoes and tomatoes from your diet. When you eat them, you feel nothing bad, it's a long term problem. Also, recent studies have...
brucen36, are you in remission?...
Hi Michelejc, Yes diet is individual, but there are some items that are common for the ones who suffer from colitis (and hut inflammation in general), among which: don't eat tomatoes, nor potatoes....
Potatoes are not good for colitis, they increase gut permeability. Also it's a relatively recent food and we don't really know the consequences eating it regularly. Sweet potatoes are good if you...
Don't eat tomatoes if you have colitis or crohn, the reason is not about acidity or seeds, but it concerns all the fruits from the Solanacaes family, they are known (Thanks to recent studies) to make...
I noticed my body doesnt have time to store fat/muscle if I go 2 or 3 times a day to stool. Yes they are solid stools, but even with this, if my transit is too rapid I think I won't gain any weight....
Well, half of the ingredients you mentionned are forbidden in the paleo diet, but thank you for the inspiration ^^...
CGK1998, I'm always happy when I see someone else who can live quite normally, I'm really happy for you mate. Yes I'm living normally since I eat paleo, and the only thing I would love to happen is...
That really makes sense Pluot thanks for your good words....
Thank you momto2boys I was wondering about psyllium, I will definitly try it then....
Hey notsosicklygirl, keep fighting, one day you'll be ok that's sure. Anyway I think it's not a good option to decrease BMs by artificial means (imodium), if you have to go to stool it's not a good...
Yes it's more a personal choice then, than a scientific proof. I choose to avoid potatoes, according to many solid arguments, but I'm okay if some people choose to keep it as a regular food in their...
What do you think about psyllium? 70% soluble fibers... But it's also known to fight constipation... That's not what I want. But maybe I should try it. Thanks Gardian for your help. Well I really...
Thanks imagardener for your answer. I do think too that fibers (soluble or not) will accelerate my BM, but I will try anyway, since I really rely on this specialist. You're probably right, maybe with...
I' taking 4500IU per day since 6 months, my blood rates are ok now but I still take vit.D because it's very recommended for colitis and Crohn sufferers (fortify the immune system) and it protects...
Hi, I'm really happy to be in remission since 6 months, I was having pain since 1.5 years and now I'm okay thanks to the paleo diet (and thanks to God), no more bleeding, no more urgencies, that's...
hi Show this article to your husbands and wives in case of bad mood :) http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/news/story/1.2701037...
All I know is we must do colonoscopies every 2 or 3 years, because UCers (and Crohn) are more likely to develop colon cancer, so we have to control this. So in my opinion, flare risk or not, do it....
