I only go on this website every few months now because I have been in remission for two years. I took a chinese herb called Qing Dai (by Treasures of the East). I took this after 7 years of severe UC...
i was on vanco three times with cdiff. I kept getting it back again. finally my gastro put me on Deficid. worked great and the cdiff never came back. The insurance companies prefer you on vanco...
I had c-diff twice. Both times I needed to go on Dificil. First they tried Vanco both times but it did not work. Dificil it seems is very expensive and the insurance company only ok’d it after vanco....
While we r on the subject of different “cures” of UC helping some but not all, I need to mention my usage of Qing Dai (indigo naturalis). I had full blown UC for years, nothing was helping. I will be...
i have been on Qing Dai for almost a year. Life has been back to normal for me! It is a blue powder. I mix 1/4 teaspoon in some yoghurt or applesauce.At first I did this 3 times a day, then went down...
I have my Qing dai delivered from Acupuncture Atlanta...they are reliable and the least expensive I have found. I take 1/4 tsp in the morning and same before dinner. It is in a powder and I mix it...
I have been using Qing Dai for almost a year. It has been very helpful for me just after a couple of days. I stopped all other colitis medicine except still take llialda (though not sure why). I had...
I received good news too regarding my colonoscopy. But I owe it to Qing Dai. My doctor did not recommend it to me, but he could not discount the improvement he saw. He actually said “keep up the good...
I agree, suprep is the worst (had a colonoscopy today) ....my prior colonoscopy I used the prepopik which was much easier, but my doctor was not happy with the results...
I remember watching a segment on 60 minutes awhile ago regarding fish raised in China . Since then wouldn’t touch the stuff. The salmon in Costco says raised in Norway... but I am so skeptical of...
No reason to wonder why gut diseases are on the rise. I stand at the Costco Fish counter and look at the salmon packages and laugh. Some have a sticker on it “no antibiotic used” (for $1.00 more per...
Thank you i poop, you r right. I am due for a colonoscopy in June....
I can understand everyone’s fear regarding Qing dai, but I am using it now for about a year now - I take a quarter of a teaspoon in the morning before breakfast and the same before dinner. I felt...
Having bad reaction to generic- just taking it for 3 days. I'm calling doc today and going back to Lialda. Glad to see this post, I really didn't know what happened! Back to urgent watery b/ms last...
I've been an avid reader on this site and feel i need to help anyone i can. I've been diagnosed with UC since my thirties but been suffering a really bad flair for the last 4 years (i am 62). I tried...
thank you for getting back to me. I do go to a gastreonterologist. I was much worse before the uceris, which i been taking with the rowasa and llialda. Trouble is whenever i would taper off the...
I had been on Uceris (and rowasa)for a year. i thought it was great since my poops went down to about 4 times in the morning, though never solid. My doctor said I am still flairing. He told me to get...
I always get the refrigerated pickles (find them in the supermarket Kosher section) - they are nice and crisp and always my favorite. If I am in a bad flare, I do need to remove the skin. It's...
I do make my own chicken soup and eat it every day for lunch, but I also keep a carton or two of the store bought brand for the convenience. I get the jarred pickles too for now, but I am retiring...
I agree with the chicken soup. Make a fresh batch every Sunday and that's my lunch at work. Basically I can add chicken and whatever vegetables. As long as the vegetables are really soft, I find that...
Rule No. 1 - stomach acid - or lack of it - is something that I have certainly thought about. It seems to me that the stomach may not be doing its job properly when you have all these problems with...
What is appearing is the Metformin outer coating. I had asked my doctor about that already. He assured me that the actual medicine is being absorbed....
