Qing Dai Experiences?

Following
I found some old posts but nothing recent

Hi there,

There seems to be some scientic evidence on the benefits of Quing Dai on UC. However, there are also reports of serious side effects. Research is going on to remove the nocive aspects of Quing Dai and introduce the good ones as an alternative treatment of UC. See papers published recently:

Curious if things ever improved for you or if you just stopped taking it.

I have had great success with it. Started in 2009.

Deee 19,

How did you take them, dose, frequency etc, and what brand did you use? Since none of this is really standardized it sounds like it can be trial and error in finding the dose that works just right for you. I understand that quality of the product could make a difference too. How worse did you get? Am still thinking about taking but am not clear about how much to take.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t really know what I am in. Will have intermittent bleeding with perfect poop in between. What you described in terms of the instructions seems correct from what I heard and read. What do you think was incorrect about what you did? Did you ever get your flare under control?

Hi,

I used Qing Dai at the same time as starting remicade and I'm not sure what worked but I was able to ween off prednisone. I stopped taking it when I came off pred because it was causing cramps and bloating. I believe it coats your colon. I was using CC Herbal, and I could only tolerate 1 pill a day.

Dee19- I also found oil of oregano about 3-4 years ago and it worked wonders at first. My understanding is it acts as a antibiotic, killing all bacteria in the gut. I shortly went into a horrible flare that lasted a long time, and I didn't introduce anything new, so I'm pretty sure it was from the oil of oregano.

This disease is so insidious. I really can't ever pin point anything which is super frustrating!

I just ordered Qing Dai yesterday, and should have it Monday. I’ve been symptomatic for over 3 years, since I was first diagnosed with UC.

If it works for me, I’ll definitely share it here. I generally don’t stop supplements if they make me feel a little off at first because I expect some things to cause a Herx or “healing crisis.” I also have a pretty high bar for what would constitute a severe reaction since I’ve been through the ringer over the last few years.

After reading a lot of the reviews here, I’m hopeful. But also skeptical because I’ve felt this way about supplements before. In any case, I’ll report back in a week or two about the results, or if it causes an immediate positive result I’ll let you all know.

Definitely keep us posted!
I took the tincture explained exactly in the book "Listen to your gut" along with the probiotics she suggested.
