RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

Brucen36 - I took the medications with the links I provided, 2x a day. And there was another bottle I took 3x a day that had Dr. Jace's name on it but I couldn't find it on any website. I had to get...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

Brucen36 - Here you go. So, I spoke to my friend and what he had was called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). I’d never heard of (SIBO) before but when I looked into this there was a lot...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

Oh, the diet is only for 10 weeks. Not forever. There's no way I could do this diet forever. F that! 10 weeks was hard enough. If you believe in the theory that the cause of people stomach problems...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

I didn't believe in diet either as my GI told me it was a problem with my immune system that makes my brain think I have food poisoning and it pumps stuff into my stomach that tries to fight an...

Brucen - The guy my friend went to see was over on the west side of Los Angeles near Marina Del Rey, CA. I will have to ask him again what the guys name is. I don't know if thats better for you. Also...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

This is the most restrictive diet I've seen but I guess its so they clean you out of anything that might feed bad bacteria. I'm just saying that this worked for me perfectly. notsosickgirl: When I...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

Also, that diet plan was made for me specifically from what the blood test showed. So I don't know if it would be the same for everyone. But look at that beast. When I first got it I thought it was...

Yissurim - you are right. Using the "C" word should not be used lightly. Previously I have thought things were going well only to have this thing come back with a vengeance. But honestly this does...

Hi Michelejc, I don't know how to add a picture to this post or I'd post the images of the supplements, I still have the empty bottles and the PDF of the diet I was on. Sorry I don't blog much. If...

RE: Has anyone tried a 6 week diet to change Flora in your stomach?

I have been diagnosed with UC for 7 years. I had 2 colonoscopies, had 2 GI's that pushed a bunch of medication on me - I tried Lialda, Prednisone, Melamine, Asacol, Balsalazide and Colozal with no...

Dietary Creatine as a Possible Novel Treatment for Crohn’s Ileitis

Will do Old Mike. I took it years ago for working out before I had UC. Will definitely be cautious (as I always am when trying something new) and will let you guys know if something good happens....

Warning! Prednisone can slow your heart rate.

I've been tracking it carefully and I'm pretty sure it's the prednisone. I can see on my weekly/monthly Fitbit heart rate tracker exactly when I stopped taking my prednisone and how it effects my...

Warning! Prednisone can slow your heart rate.

I've never really seen this on side effects for Prednisone so I thought I post it. Prednisone can give you Bradycardia - slow heart rate. I was on prednisone for about a month. (The longest I've ever...

Ulcerative Colitis

Just got diagnosed yesterday...

I felt the same way but what I was told is the inflammation is worse than any of the side effects of the prednisone. Therefore, I take it only when I flair and get off of it ASAP. The problem is, if...

Frustrated - Nothing is working except prednisone!

It was pretty severe. Was just tested for C-Diff again, it was negative and have no pathogens. My BM have gone down on 80 mg of prednisone but had a urgency over the night 5 or 6 times when it...

iPoop - Thanks for your response. Yes, I mean MP6. I am at 80 mg of prednisone and my stomach is still pretty bad. How can I be sure that it is not the Colozal that is causing my pain or do I need to...

Soy - My symptoms are the usual, bloating, gas, frequency, 15+ BM a day, blood, diarrhea. I just had hoped that I'd see some sort of relief by now (9 Colozal pills a day and no time release!) so at...

Frustrated - Nothing is working except prednisone!

I wonder how many of these frustrated post start 5am. Probably a lot. I have been diagnosed with UC for about 5 years after having a colonoscopy done. I have taken Lialda, Asacol, MP5, and now...

Just diagnosed last week...at my wit's end

You need to to take Prednisone. I know we all hate it but it actually serves a purpose. Especially if you are as bad as you say you are. You can turn things around quickly with a 60 to 80mg burst of...

Upset gut or UC while on vacation

I always travel with prednisone just incase I flair while on vacation. Also, the antibiotics probably killed the bacteria causing your sinus infection but it also destroyed the flora in your gut too...
