It seems like antioxidants are helpful in alleviating UC symptoms. Has any particular one been very good for you? If so, which one?...
Have you had success with Align probiotic or any specifically bifidobacterium strain probiotics? Which one do you take and how do you take it (with or without food, etc.)? I have issues with...
Its incredible because, otherwise, I can NEVER gain weight. But, I keep a food log and a weight log and it is very specifically on days I take both of these that I gain weight. It doesn't necessarily...
For those of us with ulcerative colitis disease, has anyone found any good digestive techniques (enzyme supplements or anything else) to be able to better digest foods that are highly fermentable and...
What have your experiences been like with sunflower oil and how it impacts your ulcerative colitis? I keep a found journal and I have been noticing a trend of increased symptoms and I think it is...
The microbial angle is definitely the most promising in my opinion - whether its lack of a good microbiome strain or the need to remove a pathogenic microbiome stain. I found this as a new potential...
With all of the rapid innovation in medicine including genetic testing, genetic editing through Crisper, microbiome testing, potential future microbiome specific medications, different monoclonal...
yeah what is interesting to me, for my case, psyillium certainly helps and soluble fiber helps too but when i took butyrate, i had more bleeding and more issues. And that was several times that I...
Did you have colonic crypt damage? I think that is the reason we are having microscopic inflammation. I have been studying it a bit and planning to study more. I was reading that amino acids like...
well yes, I think we all know that if one isn't healed, they might have symptoms. But, that's not the question. The question is whether most UC patients in remission have microscopic inflammation or...
Even when I seem to be in remission or somewhere near remission, I have gotten these 2 things below. Have others seen this too? (1) Microscopic inflammation - The GI doctor said there was no visible...
so are you an Annie's fan or not? Do you think its healthy? That was a good link - I'm disappointed to see that they have been bought by General Mills though. That means, even if they were healthy...
Have you guys seen any difference in your UC symptoms or general health when consuming cane sugar vs your ordinary regular sugar? I have been working to avoid the syrups (i.e. high fructorse corn...
Did you have a colonoscopy to confirm it? How did the biopsy report turn out? My understanding is that "microscopic inflammation" is usually still there even in remission and can be seen with the...
I know - it is so frustrating! These harmful ingredients seem to be put in so many foods! One time I had a salad thinking it was healthy and was confused why I felt so sick the next day. Then, I...
I agree on foods. But, I believe there are certain ingredients that at the very least aggravate colitis and maybe even can cause new ulcers. I know for sure that carrageenan and xanathan gum are 2 of...
Sounds good please update on us with your results and findings when taking all four. Have you had success with any one of them in the past? I will try taking them in the ratio they used in the paper...
yup those are the exact four I found as well. There are several studies on it and they all seem to indicate that those are the four amino acids for strengthening the mucin lining and it is the mucin...
Thank you that is very helpful!! I try to avoid ingredients that aggravate potential bio-film problems and I must have missed seeing maltodextrin but it looks you are right, this is a bad one too....
Yeah like more cramping, pain, looser bowls but not sure if that was the problem or it was some other ingredient. I have a food log and there are times in the past where i took citrate, in the form...
100% agree on carrageenan - that makes me bleed within 24 hours. I believe the carrageenan alters the microbiome and mutates the microbiome. What is the issue with maltodextrin? What is it...
I went and read through all of the previous threads on L-threonine (pasted below). It is clear from the thread that many people found L-threonine was very helpful to them. I am curious to know - are...
Has anyone noticed aggravation of ulcerative colitis due to citric acid and/or citrate? It seems to be an irritant in a similar way that alcohol is an irritant to an ulcer. That is my observation but...
thanks for the info! Hoping to see if anyone has actually tried it and can share their experiences. My friend said it boosted his energy and well-being but would be more useful to see someone who has...
Does anyone take NMN supplementation? I read the book from Dr. Sinclair "Lifespan: Why We Age And Why We Don't Have To" and it has kind of grown a lot of momentum in the US with many people I have...
Most likely all diseases branded "Ulcerative Colitis" do not share the same root cause. The commonality is the inflammation in the colon but the causation most likely consists of different subgroups....
thanks for those links! Hopefully some more people can respond including Old Mike, I'd love to hear his thoughts on the two questions I have posed....
For those of you who have researched and understand biofilms, what is your personal opinion on the theory that biofilms are the root cause (or at least one possible cause if there are many different...
How was the experiment with BPC 250mch?...
[quote="timetoheal85"]Here is a thorough article on BPC 157. I purchased and will report back how it worked. How did it work? I'm interested in trying BPC 157 and would like to know your experience....
Has anyone tried using BPC-157? It is a healing peptide that is supposed to be especially effective on ulcers. There is some info online, including research, that talks about how BPC-157 has been...
Has anyone had success with taking anti-microbials (example: oregano oil, colloidal silver, etc.) and also probiotics? If you have had success, what has your protocol been (do you take them together?...

oh ok well, from your posts, it seemed you were saying definitively that your position is that carrageenan does not cause ulcerative colitis. I think it could be one of many causative agents. ...
Ambling - I've read both of your and coffeemate's posts on this and I am sorry but I think your logic is the one that is flawed. You keep insisting with 100% certainty that carrageenan does not cause...
Very interesting on Lactobacillus Rhanosus GG. What was the specific impact you had seen with this strain? I have a bottle of this strain but I haven't tested it and it might have some additives in...
Very interesting! I have found that carrageenan and xanathan gum (Both food additives and polysaccharides) immediately cause me to flare, or at least get rectal bleeding, within 24 hours. Every...
Has anyone experimented with specific bacterial strains and seen how they impact their colitis? There are some probiotics on the market with 1 specific strain such as Lactobacillus Planatarum 299v or...
There is a lot of research right on microbiome and I know many people have seen the gut tests and perhaps experimented with different probiotics. The other day I read some VERY interesting research...
I have decided to make a major dietary change and, after being vegetarian my whole life, I am going to start eating certain healthy meats and see how I feel. The reason is my ulcerative colitis does...
Thanks for you're reply. I think we all know what ulcerative colitis is but thanks for re-stating it. However, stating the obvious is not what I was looking for. I understand that there are many...
I am seeing more and more people and posts talk about it. It is the Kefir that you make at home with the Kefir grains and raw milk. It is supposed to be a super probiotic that many are saying cured...
I have seen a significant reduction in bowel pain thanks to the probiotic strain Lactobacillus Plantarum 299v (Lp299v). I used to get excruciating pain during bowel movements and this strain has...
There are some microbiome tests, like Viome, that give food recommendations as part of their microbiome test, but is there any additional resources (websites, documents, etc.) out there that...
I am saying any food that contains chocolate chips (i.e. mint chip ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin chocolate chip cake). However, a chocolate milkshake for example, as long as it doesn't...
I'm currently taking about 2 grams first thing in the morning. I want to compare notes with the mg you all are taking as I have read on this board many succeed with pysllium seed....
Its not only ice cream but also in chocolate chip cookies. I thought maybe its the emulsifier Soy Lecitihin because I know the emulsifier carrageenan hurts me. But, I bought foods without both of...
According to the diet journal I have been keeping, I am seeing a pattern where I get bleeding when consuming foods with chocolate chips. At first I thought maybe the chocolate is irritating, but I...
I have a question for all the people that have some success with supplements like L-glutamine, zinc, zinc carnosine for Ulcerative Colitis. When one takes these supplements orally, how can one know...
