Interesting that flaxseed is on the list of microbiome targetted. I've had great luck mixing and cooking together flaxseed and oats. Raw flaxseed didn't work. I recommend googling flaxseed and...
Chickpeas are high fodmap. That could be another thing to look into though it may very well be that insoluble fibre is a problem as a whole for you....
I got over my last flare by targeting this issue of cortisol. Think this should be looked into further....
Have you tried the Low Fodmap diet? It can possibly help some people's UC, too....
imagardener2, There's also an award-winning documentary called 'Life and Debt' by Stephanie Black which illustrates the mechanism of neoliberalism, its impact on humans and even animals. I'd really...
"The goldman sachs analysts admitted that" I stopped reading you right there. If you believe that the current treatment/ cure model is merely based on a lack of outcome despite the efforts of good...
This is fully in line with the neoliberal model of business. Human and animal pain is secondary to profit. Unfortunately, we have people who view skepticism of this obvious sabotage as a matter of...
Loose leaf sage and lemon thyme tea, vitamin c & d, and drops of oregano oil to halt some infection quickly. All of these, of course, if suitable to your system. Cut down on sugar. Rub black seed oil...
Connor77, I think you hit the nail on the head, particularly with the elaboration on the erosion of the gut barrier. This understanding, though not as researched as yours - along with the reality of...
Had one of the worst flares ever because of store bought kefir - never again. I also tried the Swedish probiotic milk drink Filmjok to flare effects. I'm currently the best I've ever been so the...
Bull's eye. The term 'neoliberalism' is not a conspiracy. This ideology has effects on everything, including science and disease....
I'd go with those who say there's a connection....
A few bananas in one day would bring on symptoms like yours for me. So no, I would definitely think it worthy of making note. Some of us stay well without sugar....
Thanks for posting this. UC was already under control. A month ago I took activated charcoal because I was feeling a little down mentally and this has been a recurrent thing through my life - where...
Took colifoam for 2 weeks nightly when diagnosed in late 2012. Got horrible toothaches even if it had some anti-inflammatory properties. No med since. Tried a number of approaches, flared etc., but...
Pray it all goes well....
I get these off iherb. It's online....
Magnesium Malate combined with Curcumin 95 is the first thing I take at any signs of headaches. Up the Curcumin caps if headache is bad....
Old Hat: "he put on his transition team and who he is proposing for the Cabinet. Sarah Palin for Secretary of the Interior?" Do you believe Victoria 'F the EU' Nuland and the coterie of warmongering...
My idea may seem unconventional, but this has worked for me: A coconut oil suppository. In an ice cube tray fill a space 1/2 half with coconut oil, when it solidifies in half an hour add 1/3tsp of...
imagardner2, I think you mean 95 Curcumin. From what I gather, organic turmeric contains a higher percentage of curcumin. Turmeric in its complete form also contains turmerones which is itself an...
BeatUC, Actually they were caught between a rock and a hard place. Two oligarchic, neoliberal major candidates, one of who out-conned the other as standing up for working people with the obtuse...
We aren't going to see eye to eye. I'm radical-left politically, we even disagree on how to handle UC, and my point was that the people with UC in Syria and Russia will be better off probably -...
I'm not Russian or Syrian, a Clinton or a Trump supporter, but given 10 of 11 leading arms manufacturers were backing Clinton I'd say the people with UC in Russia and Syria have a better chance....
Hi, First of all - welcome My thoughts: Probiotic: I'd start with VSL3 take it for 2-3 months then cut it down to when necessary. Before meals I would try eating a spoonful of organic, refrigerated,...
E. coli Nissle (Mutaflor) is strong against yeast. I have long believed that's why it works in UC, even taken temporarily at the right time....
I threw Oil of Oregano at my UC starting early 2014 )after diagnosis in 2013) and that's when things took a good turn aka remission. Don't take it anymore - instead relying on a combination of...
Seed powder has the edge over husk: higher butyrate production. But again, try both and see what works better for 'you'....
Yintat, A lot of colostrum would be present in the first stages of breastmilk. So maybe that helped further when you took with enema....
Can't go wrong with fermenting crock. I was making my own in a careless sort of way, wasn't a success. Now I buy Byron Bay's Peace, Love and Vegetable Superkraut. Also contains seaweed. Can be...
Already in remission. Recently added a spice to my menagerie: fenugreek. My stools were already good, but I'm guessing it is the fenugreek (about a teaspoon in a gravy dish that I consume over 2-3...
Chicken wings, My personal journey with UC leans more towards the positive. I've learned so much about my mind and body, how to eat healthy, homeostasis. I had many miserable days. It felt like an...
I was taking l-glutamine orally, really helps. Still do before eating something acidic like tomato that day. I'm a big believer in the pH thesis among others. But I've found taking it in enema form -...
Let's try to keep war-mongers out for our part. These are the same who destroyed Libya under the name of "intervention" and which is now an ISIL base. Hilary Clinton famously chortled 'we came, we...
Terror attacks are basically copycat patterned behaviour by tribal-minded 'losers' who wish to gain prominence through spectacular violence. Really sad for the victims and their families. And hope...
@Natof9 - I just swish it for a few minutes after brushing. It's supposed to help with oral health and also gets rid of that toothpaste breath/taste. Oil pulling, from what I gather, is different....
A few pops never hurt. And depends: if you don't have fructose issues perhaps you can enjoy them to your gut's - rather not say heart's - content....
I think the strength of any treatment is a matter of relativity. The way I see it my own treatment requires self-discipline, mental and physical perseverence and I can hose down flares - literally,...
Brian29, late reply sorry. The Low Fodmap diet has a list of fruits with lower ratio of fructose that you can check on. Really depends what you can tolerate. I'm good with blueberries, slightly ripe...
Totally get you. And sugar should be spelt with three rrr's more often given how underrated it is when it comes to (gut) inflammation....
Look up the Low Fodmap diet, pertains to both IBS and UC. Easy to follow too....
As a kid I used to have approx 3-4 teeth pulled out every year haha. Nothing after for more than a decade. Before UC diagnosis, same year, one tooth went bad, started hairloss, severe pain in eyes....
Sugar or high fructose has brought me into a flare. Ongoing, even moderate (from non-UC standards), would do me in. I pin it down to a combination of increasing oxidative stress, which can be...
I'd put it down to professional envy. Particularly since every form of mainstream UC treatment can be labelled 'flawed'. Brody is a pioneer but cautious. Also know of people who participated in...
"eat kit Kats (because they are delicious)" You've got to be kidding. Sugar leads to oxidative stress. Higher the oxidative stress, more extreme the disease. If I am recalling correctly, IAC flared...
I reckon human beings in general are intuitively and in the evolutionary sense drawn to food that is wholesome and fresh. Anything laden with sugar and grease speaks to our weakness, though some may...
Posted this on another thread. Got me out of a flare. Use at own discretion if at all: 1 tablespoon l-glutamine 2 lactoferrin and colostrum capsules Half a satchet of VSL3 or a couple probiotic...
nourse, the Low Fodmap diet is less restrictive than Gaps. Some on this forum if you search. I was on it, with some modifications, for all of 2014 and it kicked off my long remissions. Just in case...
IPoop, UC is indeed very individual. That said, there is a universal consensus on foods that are unhealthy. I don't see them helping a poor gut. What people choose to do with their UC, however, is...
If that's all you got out of it, good on you. Edit: Subtracted a rejoinder....
