It is possible, nobody is really sure, but vaccinated people might still be able to transmit the virus to others. That is why medical authorities advise those who have been vaccinated to continue...
The CDC calls the vaccines experimental to be used only in an emergency. This is important because experimental vaccines cannot be forced or mandated....
That may not be a bad idea. The coronavirus mRNA vaccines are EXPERIMENTAL injections made available without animal studies or any long term testing. Considering that the chances for the young and...
Hemorrhoids are weak and distended blood vessels. So the first time I had hemorrhoids I took extra rutin, quercetin, and butcher's broom, herbs that are supposed to strengthen blood vessels and...
I try to monitor my diet for foods that trigger inflammation, e.g. gluten and shellfish etc., but sometimes I will still notice stools becoming less formed and more frequent. In my experience, after...
High fiber foods prevent constipation but we UCers need to be careful. There are two kinds of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Some have found that insoluble fiber such as wheat bran can irritate...
I don't quite understand the question because cane sugar is regular sugar. It is the refined High Fructose Corn Syrup which substitutes for regular sugar that is actually worse. There is some...
I am curious, I deleted your post as it had nothing to Depression I ask you to please review the rules of the forum And be considerate Of our other members. Thank you Peace...
How Many Truly Believe That Food Will Cause/Stop A Flare It has not been in my experience that food will stop a flare, however I monitor my diet for triggering foods to help prevent flares....
The effectiveness of supplements vary with each individual just like some foods and different meds affect people differently. For example boswellia has been proven to dampen down UC inflammation but...
There is no substitute for getting your blood levels of vit D measured. Vitamin D3 is the natural version. We UCers are likely to be deficient since we may have problems with absorption. (Actually I...
Maltodextrin is so frustrating for me because it is in so many vitamins and supplements, and I take tons of supplements. I know it can only be inside those capsules in minute quantities but it...
Does anyone know of any documented case or research involving UC due to pathogen as it seems many people on this forum have had similar experiences. Yes there are many threads. You can search here...
What are the other ingredients you see as avoid? You can check out my signature and see other items like Sorbitol, malitol, etc., not just processed food additives but some foods too. But food is an...
I go by what my gut says and my gut doesn't like maltodextrin. But here is some science behind it. Maltodextrin was originally researched by Old Mike and I immediately followed up because I could...
Along with carrageenan and polysorbate80, you can add maltodextrin to the list....
I dunno but magnesium citrate is a laxative, in fact it is used as a colonoscopy prep. Natural citric acid is found in many fruits especially citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. However...
Hi Hailey, This is IamCurious, aka BabeintheWoods. I found the Hailey's Letter thread so interesting when it was posted because I am also one of those lucky UCers who found relief through...
I agree. It's understandable that those who are most vulnerable such as the elderly, diabetics, etc., or those with compromised immune systems may want to get vaccinated. But if you are otherwise...
A study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan, China, found that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 did not occur. This was published in the well regarded Science publication, Nature , and perhaps may...
Covid Mortality Risk by Age: 0-24: 1 in 250,000 25-44: 1 in 16,666 45-65: 1 in 2,500 65+: 1 in 500 Covid-19 is a very serious disease but mostly for the elderly and probably also for some of the...
You are mistaken. Nobody is saying that Dr. Kary Mullis was talking about the Covid-19 virus. Mullis died in August, 2019. The video is saying it was The University of Oxford Center for Evidence...
You are not alone. Some might say that Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and company are making perfect sense when you realize they are heavily invested in vaccines. Below is a video explaining why the PCR...
I am prediabetic and that is the real reason why I monitor my diet so closely. Luckily the same processed foods I need to avoid to manage my blood sugar are the same foods I need to avoid that...
If there is an interaction then most likely it is a synergism where they enhance the effectiveness for each other. But I am not the expert here. Your GI says it's OK and I am sure Quincy will agree....
It's not just vitamin D. The NIH seems to be pushing vaccines and ignoring everything else. This doctor at a Senate hearing is passionately pleading congress to force the NIH to look at his data....
fyi Wuhan is out of lockdown and partying again https://youtu.be/9u9_KqQJvfI ...
I cannot tolerate mesalamines but manage my UC by monitoring my diet for certain foods that trigger symptoms, as well as some selected supplements. (See my signature.)...
Actually the overall covid mortality rate is much lower than 1 percent. Covid Mortality Risk by Age: 0-24: 1 in 250,000 25-44: 1 in 16,666 45-65: 1 in 2,500 65+: 1 in 500 Hindsight is 20/20 but...
Two people with two different opinions. Apparently Dr. Kary Mullis, who won the Noble Prize for inventing the PCR test, also doesn't have a high opinion of Anthony Fauci. OTOH this may be the case...
I am not sure but you might be referring to why they had so much trouble trying to develop a coronavirus vaccine until now. The following might be what you are talking about:...
Quincy is right, mesalamines (5-ASA) and aspirin are not the same. Aspirin can cause internal bleeding while 5-ASAs are anti-inflammatory for UC. But they are related. Mesalamines are derived from...
Are they selling Mutaflor here in the U.S. again? I thought it was a wonderful probiotic but it was only temporarily available here before being discontinued. What you might be experiencing is the...
Here intelligent people can respectfully share our differing views of covid vaccines among ourselves, but there is no justification for the following. So now if a kid suffers from long term side...

all execs of fortune 500 companies have little control over when their stock is sold and must follow very stringent regulations That misses the point. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla planned to sell his...
Lecithin or phosphatidylcholine (PPC) was originally extracted from egg yolks and is used as an emulsifier in cooking and as a food supplement to lower cholesterol. I used to take PPC to lower...
Ambling, There is no nonsense and pseudoscience here. If you don't like The Liberty Beacon as a source then you can google Dr. Michael Yeadon for yourself and you will see dozens of sources verifying...
I hope it is safe but I would err on the side of caution. For one thing in this rush for approval there have been no long term safety studies. Another thing that worries me is that the former vice...
Curcumin has been in my signature for years....
Years ago Culturelle and VSL#3 worked very well for me. But a few years ago their formulas changed to include excipients such as maltodextrin, etc. that tore up my gut so those probiotics became less...
yea! Monitoring my diet with selected supplements has helped me remain in remission for quite some time now, no blood, no urgency, with no more than one or sometimes two BMs a day. But I have never...
I have heard that some people can remain in remission with smoking no more than 2 or 3 cigarettes per day. I am not sure how the minimal health risks with smoking so few cigarettes compares with...
Over the years I have seen dozens of posts where people have seen their symptoms attenuated when going on a vacation. I myself have noticed the same after a weekend at the beach. I have assumed it...
If you want to reduce your UC symptoms as well as CRP then I guess you should take more UC meds. But if all you want is to only lower your CRP then there are many other ways to accomplish this...
I am not on prescription meds and maintain remission mostly from watching my diet. So I recommend a food diary to watch out for any food triggers, some of my major ones are in my signature. But I do...
I can sympathize with your son because I have tried different mesalamines on three separate occasions and found that they all made me feel worse. I have heard other stories from people who post here...
I don't take iron supplements so I am not sure what supplement is best. Chelated iron? I dunno. But I do know that vitamin C helps your body to absorb iron. And many people who are anemic sometimes...
