Natural Remedies for UC flare up any experiences?

Hello Everyone,
Some of you may have seen several posts from me in the past few months. I have been flaring since october and still am. I tried prednisone, uceris, and uceris foam so. far and nothing has worked. Before this flare I was in remission for 4 years through some ayurvedic medicine. I really do not want to take biologics and would like to try everything possible before choosing that route. Has anyone had any good experiences with any natural remedies getting them into remission?

TIA

A lot of people including myself have found that some supplements help such as curcumin. You can check our signatures.

Have you tried monitoring your diet to see if there are any foods that seem to trigger symptoms?

Actually I flared a couple of times over the past 10 years when I strayed off my diet. But I learned my lesson.

I needed to take antibiotics to jump-start myself back into remission, but only short term to end the flare. Diet and supplements are my 'maintenance meds'.

I used Flagyl but supposedly antibiotics only help about 20 percent of IBDers.

" I tried 3 steroids already and none helped me to reach remission."

3 different steroids ? or steroids 3 times ?

Qing Dai got me out of a three year flare. I just ordered capsules online and they worked like a charm! After three years of suffering I saw results from Qing Dai within a few days, started forming more solid stools and within a few weeks was in remission. Have been in remission ever since going on two years. I still take one every now and then if I feel the slightest symptom. I guess it's a great detox and anti inflammatory etc. I take other supplements as well but that one did the trick!

My son has ulcerative colitis and recurrent cdiff. This has been serious for 1 1/2 years. He's lost lots of weight, been unable to work, frequent hospitalizations, lots of dr and specialist visits. When we see the specialists, they keep going back to the same tools, over and over again. I took him to an herbalist. She has given us hope. My son was down to 100 lbs, and is 5' 10"....serious problems. He started on slippery elm capsules, 6 capsules twice a day, and in 3 days, we saw improvement in his mood , energy and appetite. The medical team could not slow down his system, aka diarrhea. He has regained 21 pounds in 16 days. My son is still taking the slippery elm, actually 8 caps twice a day. Herbalist says his stools will normalize. Keep the hope! He worked 4 days in a row last week too, which is miraculous as well.

Natures sunshine, 360 mg per capsule. The herbalist says your body will tell you when to reduce the dosage. BM will be formed. He's not there yet but this stuff is helping him greatly. I hope it helps others too!

Thank you so much! I will give it a try! I was diagnosed at 24.

Oh wow thank you! I will definitely try them out. Do you think any of them brought you closer to remission than another?

deee19, what Ayurvedic treatments did you take and find to work well for you?

I get the Qing Dai from CCHerbal. I just order the capsules and they worked fine, no side effects. I noticed someone else has suggested slippery elm. I recently discovered that for my mother who had been suffering with IBS as well as rectal prolapse... and it seems to be helping her. I'm going to keep slippery elm as part of my arsenal as well. :o) Best to you!
