It is amazing to me how we all eventually find the same path - the same advice. So, I was diagnosed with Lyme two weeks ago. My llmd recommended: Magnesium citrate Elimicand, 5 drops 2x daily NAC 500...
So, my integrative medicine doctor inadvertently got me into a nasty flare by putting me on natural antimicrobials. I don’t blame her. She was trying to change the microbiome. Im not blaming just...
I seem to have something quite similar to Dusty, the original poster. I was diagnosed as having ulcerative colitis by my general practitioner using sigmoidoscopy and biopsies 11 years ago. Like...
I like the comment from Jinna about kimchi. It would be the perfect colitis food - sans chilis. But, then I wonder how it would taste, probably not nearly as appealing as traditional Korean spicy...
Bam!...
That's why you are awesome!...
I'm totally with you. I think what they are suggesting is that it did come back. Therefore, there is something causing you (and perhaps me and them, too) to have recurrent dysbiosis. In other words,...
What all of you are saying makes a ton of sense. So, granting that genetics plays a role and that dysbiosis may not be the cause, it seems that you are saying that treating the dysbiosis in some form...
Your criticism is well taken, MarjieKay. And, I fully agree that I have discovered nothing. Everything I am trying is an idea I have gotten elsewhere - often right here from people far smarter than...
It sounds like you are having a pretty awful night. One of the moderators will be along soon to offer you a much more thoughtful answer than I can offer. Like you, I am just a person with UC. I won't...
That really is fascinating. So, whether one were to try conventional antibiotics or something like olive leaf, mastic gum, monolaurin, or black cumin seed, adding calcium to the mix might be a good...
Happy Birthday! May you draw strength from your awful struggles and have an amazing year ahead!...
I use Youtheory Marine Collagen types 1&3 in the same hope as you. I have experienced no difficulties....
A poem for Songlady and Belle... I and Pangur Ban my cat, 'Tis a like task we are at: Hunting mice is his delight, Hunting words I sit all night. Better far than praise of men 'Tis to sit with...
I don't think you are clueless at all. I'd say what you are doing seems to be working. To Old Mike...MarjieKay beat me to it. I read exactly the comment she highlighted just before bed last night....
Agreed. I see you are a reader of Plato, Ambling. Of course what you have just offered is opinion, isn't it? Inherent in your comment is the assumption that I am just getting lucky. It is my opinion...
I do, actually. I have read comments from doctors who liken drinking your own urine to drinking seawater. Maybe they are right. Maybe they are wrong. It's not a risk I'm willing to take with my body....
You're cute, Quincy. Believe it or not, I really enjoy your posts. In fact, allow me to extend the compliment and say you understand this disease much better than do I. I haven't found the Holy...
I do still take those things, MarjieKay. I only listed the things in my signature that I thought were gut related. I feel great today! I just dropped to 12.8 percent body fat and been to the bathroom...
Deen, I am currently juicing ginger, fresh turmeric root, and cucumber and emulsifying it with a tablespoon of coconut oil or grass-fed ghee and some black pepper. I drink this down. I then juice red...
The same happened to me on budesonide. I take Alpha GPC and horsetail. My hair has all grown back. Whether that is because I am no longer on the steroid, am experiencing less inflammation, or because...
If you really are interested in the answers, then watch the video. The video makes the case that there is a strong correlation between Gyphosphate consumption as measured by blood and urine testing...
I use a Breville. I use a huge finger of ginger and a full handful of turmeric root. Then, I juice it with a half a cucumber. Then, I emulsify the resulting juice with a tablespoon of coconut oil or...
Whether you believe that glyphosate cause colitis or autism or whatever (and there is no claim of causation in the video), his recommendations are reasonable: -eliminate breakfast cereals from your...
I juice every morning and I haven't had a bad flare since I started - except the two times I have come off Budesonide and when I go on vacation and am away from my juicer. I always use red cabbage....
:-)...
"Hi miracles, I have never experienced anything like this myself, but I see in your sig line you've experienced SIBO. Might it be related to that?" ^^^^^^ This. Something is causing that gas. I'm no...
Thanks for the details. HUGS!!!...
Thank you, HateUC! We're all on the same team here. Pulling together we can make this liveable until science can better understand our disease and find a cure....
I have nothing of substance to add. But, I just wanted to say please keep writing. We all want to know how you are doing. I've said a prayer for you. Please tell us more about health care in Costa...
I don't. I make it fresh evey day. You may be right about using it as an enema. I'd want to check with a doctor first. I have read that juice begins to oxidize almost as soon as it is juiced and...
Well said, Captain. P.S. - My son insists that I am Professor Poopy Pants... :devil:...
Please keep us in the loop, Nourse. I can't be the only one here who gets concerned when you say things like, "I feel the brush of death" or that you do not feel like you have a lot of longevity in...
And, many veteran members disagree. I think it's wonderful that you can drink milk. Ultimately, Clafuu has to decide for himself what he eats. His health choices are his own and nobody else's -...
The Disney people might object. How about Marcus Magnanimous Glutius Minimus Talpa?...
Just to make sure that I am being responsible, I want to make it clear that I am just a professor of history. I am not a doctor. I am only sharing what has worked for me. I am juicing fresh ginger...
You're funny, Richard. :-) So, what you are telling us is that we ought never to recommend what is working for us unless there have been controlled studies already done? Then, what really is the...
You are most welcome!...
Nourse, thanks for the questions. I have a Breville. I started with a Jack LaLanne - because he was so awesome! But, his juicer sucks. My Breville juices anything. No, I don't cut off anything. I...
You have d and pain and bleeding regardless of what you eat because it takes time for inflammation to come down. Right now, you could eat the perfect food for your illness and you'd still have d....
Thank you, IamCurious. Well, MarjieKay. Does it really matter what is working? I've been up now for hours. I haven't had to use the bathroom, yet. I have no joint pain. My life is freaking awesome!!!...
I thank you for your kind words....
No, what Dr. Fasano says is that leaky gut syndrome is legit. I get the impression that you are trying very hard to be responsible. Kudos for that. But, adopting a patronizing tone in which you scold...
Thank you for your response, Ambling. Dr. Alessio Fasano, director of the Mucosa Immunology and Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, disagrees with you. According to...
I've mentioned this inside other threads. But, it has worked so well for me that I thought it was time that this got a thread of its own. I have killed my joint pain with bone broth. Why do some of...
I don't absolutely know, MarjieKay. I do what you do and I search this forum. I remember reading one of the veterans once say something like: The secret with this isn't any one magical thing. It's...
I have completely eliminated my flare. My method is simple. I take a large know of ginger, a handful of fresh turmeric root and a half a cucumber. I juice it. It's between six and eight ounces of...
My flare is now calm. I feel great. Coming off budesonide caused a horrible rebound effect in which I needed the bathroom 20 times a day. Today, I've gone twice. I can only attribute it to the...
Think long and hard about what DBWITHUC is saying. You've done this four times. And, it hasn't cured your colitis. Will a fifth time ever cure you? What will you do this time that is different? Is it...
Get bread out of your diet. Get dairy out of your diet. Don't fight it. Who knows? Maybe a year from not you will find that you are one of the people who can eat one or the other. But, while you are...
