Has anyone had success with Homeopathy?

Hi

I noticed you've crossed off the primadophilus reuteri...how long were you taking it for and why did you stop?


My successful regiment consists of the following;

bee propolis (don't take bee products if you're allergic to bees)
omegas 3-6-9
Prodiem stool bulker (similar to metamucil)
vitamins B12, A, C-Calcium Ascorbate (easier on the gut)
primadophilus reuteri

it can take time for things to kick in, it's different for each person, also the combination may vary from person to person as well....most importantly you have to give each thing a fair chance, a few days or weeks may not be enough it could take months, and also, add only one new thing at a time so you know what's working and what isn't...to know for sure if something is working, you'll notice more improvements with your symptoms, if you don't notice improvements after giving each thing a fair chance then don't bother continuing with it...

as far as probiotics go, it's important you find one that does work for you rather then not take any at all.

My bum is broken....there's a big crack down the middle of it!  LOL  :)

pb4...you might also consider adding smoking to your supplement regimen since you believe it's helping, right?


KSU...what are all the homeopathic meds you're trying now...and have none of your symptoms improved at all since being on the mainstream meds as well as the others?

Wow...you just take anything without at least knowing what it is?  That's a huge risk...but that's just my opinion on that kind of stuff.

Yes, I've always been in some form of a flare my entire 16 yrs of having crohns-colitis (crohns affecting my colon), my GI suggested it to me because he believes I also now have IBS and said it should be helpful for both the CD and the IBS, it definitely has been helpful...what stopped my bleeding completely, and pain (in lower back area not in the gut) was bee propolis, I still take it twice a day, 500mg and my GI says keep on with it as well...it's 100% non-toxic and has helped many of my CD symptoms, it lessened some of my mucus but once I started taking the fibre supplements then the mucus completely stopped.

KSU

You have tried most of the major meds for treating UC, have you met with a surgeon yet? The other thing that you may want to try is Humira but it might be a fight to get your insurance to pay for it. 2 years is a long time to be flaring.

natural supplements never worked for me, I tried VSL, accupunture, nicotine patches, etc.... It was just a waste of time and money for me, the only thing that worked for me was a hospital stay on Cyclosporine.

Good luck.

DX'd with Pan-Colitis June 2005

I believe that supplements have helped me with my UC.  I am not fully in remission but I am better.  I view them as components in my remission strategy.

I use:

VSL3, Fish Oil, Bromelian, Boswellia, Calcium with D, Cinnamon, Slippery Elm, Vitamin E, Biotin, Ultra Chromium Picolinate, GNC Super Greens and Fruits, Digestive Advantage, Flax seeds, Ginger Tea, Green Tea, Accupuncture, and mind/body combination therapy.

I probably missed one! hehehe

love to all
