I was 55 years old this year, so I was offered bowel cancer screening as part of an NHS programme. I went for the procedure today. This was an endoscopy, involving the rectum and the descending...
Thanks for your response I take LDN orally in a cellulose shell. No side effects whatsoever. It is not a magic bullet, that works for everybody. I have to maintain a low FODMAP diet and probiotics...
My good news continues. I have no symptoms of my UC, maintaining myself with 4.5 mg LDN, enhanced probiotics and a low-FODMAP diet. The school vacation has ended, so this will be the real test....
Quincy, thanks. I used foam sparingly during my flare. If I overuse it, it gets into my bloodstream and negates the effect of the LDN. Since moving my bowels once every two days and with a solid...
During Easter this year I reported my first flare since 2009. Up until then a combination of Low-dose Naltrexone, careful diet and excersize seemed to keep me symptom-free. My flare, involving...
It's been quite a while since I was on here telling you about my relapse and my determination to manage without heavy-duty, life-shortening drugs. Well, I was told to be patient, stick with my LDN,...
Finally, I got to see my own doctor! All my blood, wee and poo samples are fine; no infection or signals for something nasty. Oestrogen lower than a year ago. Regarding the cystitis and dryness down...
I'm sure stress has something to do with it! My recent relapse, after 9 years remission, followed a one-year period of great stress. One incident though, during a bruising meeting with my school's...
I for one have never talked about a cure either through diet, probiotics, heavy-duty meds or LDN. There is no cure, only remission. This could be indefinite if you get it just right and with a...
I'm sticking with Plan A until it clearly works or doesn't work. Plan B, which is a massive change of direction, will come in if Plan A doesn't work. I am currently thinking about what Plan C might...
Thanks Poppy. That was my first instinct, but without the LDN in the first instance. Because LDN is an immune stimulant it cannot be taken with meds that suppress the immune system. They would fight...
In answer to all the responses above; First of all thank you. I'm really struggling and need to take all views into account. Up to now, LDN, which is free of lasting side effects, has been the answer...
I guess that the best answer is that Azathioprine combined with Prednislone worked and stabilised me enough to then use LDN for maintenace. If it doesn't work this time then mesalamine would be one...
Until I get to see my doctor next week for blood and stool test results I am not sure. If it turns out that my HRT needs adjusting then this may be part of the solution. I also need to speak to Dr...
Thanks for your response. Your experience with reducing estrogen is very telling, and for me encouraging. I have resigned myself to getting back on NHS drugs to bring my system back to as near normal...
I see that a number of you have read my post regarding my relapse after years without symptoms. To me the only thing that has changed substantially, apart from having a very stressful year, is that I...
After all these years using LDN 4.5mg daily. I am experiencing my first flare. I first started LDN in Febraury 2009 and have had virtually no sympoms all this time. It has been a very stressful year...
Great news! It worked for me too. However, LDN is not a magic bullet for everyone. I am particularly impressed that LDN worked for you after 5 years of suffering. I always assumed my success was due...
You should always expect some mucus. It is a required lubricant after all. If I notice extra mucus I always check more carefully for a while. Bowel discomfort and minor blood staining is my alert....
I am pleased to report that I continue to have virtually no UC symptoms having taken 4.5mg of low-dose naltrexone daily for seven years now. My last minor flare was over a year ago. If I detect...
I am very happy to report that whilst on LDN I have had another year completely clear of symptoms. I have maintained all the dietary supplements listed previously apart from aloe vera pulp....
InsoFla. I have done as you asked. BINGO indeed! :cool:...
Update! :-) I was diagnosed with severe pan colitis 4 years ago. (aged 44) My disease took a while to control, but eventually Azathioprine seemed to work. Most symptoms were gone or were very mild....
Christine! I am so sorry to hear of your experience. I came so close to surgery myself, until my husband discovered LDN on the internet. It is tantamount to criminal negligence that LDN is being...
Update! :smile: I was diagnosed with severe pan colitis 4 years ago. (aged 44) My disease took a while to control, but eventually Azathioprine seemed to work. Most symptoms were gone or were very...
