Yeah onions and garlic are sulphur foods. Knowing sulphur foods did help me as many items on the list were painful and brought horrible smells after digestion. H2s production is one of the major...
I've always thought controlling certain host attributes would create the greatest chances of colonisation. Mainly hormones that impact motility, immune and digestion....
Yes, I am still using it and it's actually been very successful for me. I don't use it every day but I haven't had any of the terrible days I used to. I'm actually very well and getting very active...
I'm seeing it as more a way to deal with symptoms rather than inflammation or damage. I think it would be useful in combination with other things. I'm probably going to try something similar....
Hadn't heard of it honestly but it sounds intriguing. The increased urination as a side effect makes me wonder if pyy or cortisol are involved. I'll post back if I find useful info....
I agree with aiming upstream when possible. I am also taking pregnenalone and I take mk-677 which is a ghrelin secretagogue. Ghrelin helps UC quite a bit and many bodybuilders use mk-677 due to...
It does have some interesting information out there. In Italy, VSL3 has reverted back to a non dairy formulation which apparently does have different results when compared to what most of us are used...
Probiotics are tricky as even VSL, an expensive probiotic with a known high response rate in UC may either make things better, fully induce remission, do nothing or in some cases make things worse. I...
This is my first time hearing about bpc 157 as well. I highly recommend checking out Examine's page on it. It sounds like it's orally effective, works well with UC complications, is anti-ulcerative...
I haven't seen any solid science recommending 2 weeks. To be honest, in looking for reputable sources of science, Dr. Axe is on my personal no list. The primary issue from what I've seen is dosage...
Apologies, I missed a question =) As far as how it helped me, it increases my tolerance to foods I wasn't supposed to eat at the time and lowers the pain and symptoms so I was less likely to bleed or...
I don't actually like probiotics oddly partly because most of them made me dramatically worse than my normal symptoms but also because of the lack of a full picture. Probiotics are sold as being the...
It looks like it's actually a clove bud extract specifically from a company called herb pharm. The dosage is 20 drops which provides 98 mg of herb which I found provided the ideal amount of Eugenol....
I take it via a clove oil. I have a vial of clove oil at home with instructions, I'll update later. Whatever the dosage was listed, I take half the dosage and I don't take it every day. Going above...
I would just be conservative if you're just starting out. I eat candies a few nights a week that are 5/5 cbd thc. They do help especially for any kind of related joint pain. The candy helps me...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2757071/ Very in depth study on the how Mk-677 affects many vital factors such as cortisol, bone mineral density, growth hormone. Also looking for adverse...
I would definitely make sure anyone thinking about it look into it as much as possible prior to chasing it down though. It's not actually a steroid although it gets sold at many of the same places....
Mk677 does speed up gastric emptying time specifically but that is minor in the grand scheme. It's a ghrelin mimetic which causes it to increase growth hormone secretion as well as reduce multiple...
It's pretty noteworthy that the placebo was still cannabis just minus the thc. Likely this means placebo was still receiving cbd. I wish that info was there. If that's the case, there is a very...
Part of it will depend how remission is determined. They are most likely using scales and ratings determined by patient self reporting. Cbd/thc would have a large impact on diarrhea and pain...
My top three are clove oil, mk677 and thc/cbd candies. Fiber is the only other thing I use consistently and I will be trialling Qing Dai soon. I made sure each item addresses very different...
Each supplement is different in their requirements needed to reach the colon. For example, with some probiotics simply adding glucose greatly increases chances of survival. Others are actually better...
Slippery elm is one of a handful of demulcent substances that likely won't receive proper study due to lack of profit and similarity to other herbs. You can however get a pretty good grasp by...
Nicotine directly activates a type of receptor called the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Any substance that can travel through the body and directly activate a receptor tends to have a large...
There's a fascinating study that shows correlation but not causation. Either way, it suggests dhea and cortisol variations and timing of the fluctuations are important. They are tied to diarrhea,...
Nicotine I found pretty fascinating myself. It has a large cascade of effects that make it hard to predict. The not fully proven theories I have with what I've read thusfar is nicotine has both...
I can understand some of the questions being asked here. Most of what I take is from alternative medicine. I do however cringe when I see bad bacteria versus good bacteria theories. Lack of dysbiosis...
Fatigue and memory problems definitely hit me hard when I was at my low points. I am not on traditional meds but I experienced those as well. I am the same age but I would struggle to recall words...
In UC or IBD there different contributing factors that can cause the disease. Genetics, bacteria, food, chemicals, many combinations that can put you over the edge. This study was on DSS mice where...
Interestingly enough, the cb1 receptor which is more geared toward thc does develop tolerance over time but the cb2 receptor doesn't seem to have these issues which means cbd seems solid for...
Cbd does have a lot of positive aspects but so does thc. The beneficial aspects of thc are likely why marijuana worked out better for you. The cb1 receptors can increase ghrelin and hunger. Ghrelin...
Green stool isn't usually a bile issue. Normally it's a rapid transit issue. Being liquid and green to me says that your stool is moving too rapidly for your body to appropriately digest food and...
Those foods sound like the sulphurous group. A biome shifted toward sulfur reducing bacteria has issues with things like green veggies, eggs, dairy, onions and garlic. I had a pretty bad issue with...
It's both Leptin and Ghrelin playing a very complicated game of tug of war back and forth. Studying the 2 is pretty amazing in understanding colitis and the many variables that can happen with...
I figured I would share one of the upstream mechanisms I've been studying most recently. I did a forum search and didn't turn up with any relevant results. I was hoping someone may have also studied...
Malaria is likely the bigger risk when weighing the consequences but I double check on the possible drug interactions. Even common ones like loperamide. I don't know of any links to UC other than...
I used to have issues with alcohol as well but the speed of how long it takes to hit you has me perplexed so my information may not be all that helpful. For me, it would cause the bleeding and pain...
Although generally diarrhea is thought to be when BM's are liquid, if you dig around enough, medically it is actually either liquid bm's or a significant increase in stool volume both of which lead...
Cool. I should have mentioned, I was taking about 500 mg twice a day. I would also recommend trying just the brand without the piperine as most people tolerate piperine well but there are infrequent...
Reading the article, the data did seem a bit misleading and toward a predrawn conclusion. Marijuana has been shown to inhibit growth on adolescent minds but then again I'm past the age group they...
I could understand being turned off after that. That sounds like a high dose. Curcumin like many substances has more than 1 effect to account for. There's a study out there somewhere showing it can...
I am a big fan of curcumin. It helped me get where I am now which is a pretty happy spot. With curcumin for UC, I just buy a clean powder online and capsule it. There are plenty to choose from....
Immodium is safe for short term use but has a pretty decent list of things that may over potentiate it and cause heart problems. Likely not too worrisome for occasional appropriate use but the risks...
With psyllium fiber, the fiber itself is a simple mechanism. It's the individual variances in our guts that are complicated. Fiber is recommended generally by doctors because in most cases it doesn't...
I agree with the mental health fatigue aspect of this. Neurotransmitters are very important. I have been influencing my neurotransmitters for quite a while, it was pretty much necessary for my work...
I can imagine too much could be an issue but too few is harmful as well. The microbiome is all about balance and the balance is most worth considering. Too many or too few of any bacteria means...
I thought it only fair to post an update. I did end out trialing this with less information than I usually have on a supplement before I try it and it is pretty helpful 1 week in. It didn't take too...
I thought you might find this study interesting. https://www.nature.com/articles/srep09253 It specifically mentions Akkermansia Muciniphila even if only briefly. If I could throw out some quick food...
There's not enough information for me to pick through on the measures of improvement. I'm super curious but I feel like it's just an answer without data so far....
I would be weary of long term adjustments in the microbiome in larger doses. I haven't looked into this though but I did notice this was a fairly short trial with a limited focus measurement wise. I...
