I assume you mean the budesonide MMX. If so, give it more time. At least two weeks....
Meat is the only thing that doesn't exacerbate my colitis....
Note, the Pravda paper is not published in the Journal of Gastroenterology, it's in the World Journal of Gastroenterology. Still, the latter isn't necessarily a bad journal, just not as prestigious...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3529416/ The body can absorb significant amount of bromelain; about 12 gm/day of bromelain can be consumed without any major side effects [13]. Bromelain...
Weird....
One thing at a time. Are you saying the rectum and colon are separate or are you saying the colon includes the rectum? In either case what then did you mean by "Why doesn't everybody have...
I've read the paper outlining the theory. It's interesting. I'm not saying it's wrong, but if you read carefully, it is indeed very speculative. I hope it's right as that would at least focus...
According to radical induction theory, the immune system is responding to bacterial invasion of the colonic epithelial barrier which is damaged due to OH radicals from H2O2. The immune response...
Would almost be great if an identifiable virus was the cause. Then at least something can be done about it....
Biologics are huge antibody proteins. They generally work outside of cells. Something like Xeljanz is a small molecule inhibitor that binds to proteins (usually kinases), generally inside of cells....
GSH can reduce H2O2 directly even without an enzyme, albeit much less efficiently. This type of chemistry happens naturally in the same way H2O2 can oxidize proteins and other chemicals even without...
What are the specific mutations in your SOD and GSTP genes? Also, why not just shoot GSH into your rectum? It's just a small peptide after all....
Saliva pH is generally between 6.2 and 7.4. Not really basic. Closer to neutral....
Yeah, no telling if that storm will ever pass....
Nice. This is taking a page out of other diseases that use drug cocktails like AIDS and some cancers. Perhaps doctor's should even start considering multiple biologics at once, eg. Sterlara with an...
I used a juicer for ginger for weeks. Unfortunately this didn't work for me, eventually it only made things worse....
Very interesting! Apparently it links certain bacteria to possible influence on digestive enzymes which could explain why diet is often a factor....
Apparently, there's already trials for it in paediatric ulcerative colitis....
You should ask your doctor about other Jak/Stat inhibitors that are currently being studied and target only Jak1 or Jak3. They may provide you the same symptom relief but with fewer side effects...
How long you been on Budesonide? Why are you using Uceris instead of the MMX formulation?...
Why doesn't everyone opt first for the more specific Entyvio over the less specific Humira or Remicade or others? Seems logical to try the more specific biologic before the less specific ones, kinda...
Why do you say it doesn't affect the immune system? It binds glucocorticoid receptors and inhibits the production of inflammatory genes of the immune system including some cytokines and TNF....
Have you thought about taking Cortiment every other day? i.e. 4.5 mg/day on average....
Video is too long. Can you summarize what he recommends in two sentences?...

How will you get them to send medicine by mail from Russia and getting it past customs?...
Biologics (or antibodies) are very long peptides called proteins. Maybe you're referring to shorter antimicrobial peptides, but they wouldn't work the same way as biologics, which need to take on...
Yes, probably unique! Here's a story: about 5 years ago I wanted to get into an FMT study. When I was scoped to see if I had UC, it failed because my colon appeared "healthy". So, I purposed cheated...
Foods cause my flares and also end my flares. I have cheated and uncheated on SCD too many times to recall over 15 years. Each time I cheat, a flare begins. Each time I go back on SCD, flare...
I will try taking them in the ratio they used in the paper that identified them with Threonine at 2 g....
As far as I remember there were 4 amino acid for improving mucin lining: threonine, serine, proline and cysteine. I tried the threonine 2 g per night, unfortunately didn't do much. I may give it a...
You have a different microbiome and different genes from your family members, which could react differently to the same food that is ingested....
Thanks for the reality check....
Same here. I never get a flare unless I go off my diet. As long as I am on SCD, I stay in remission which I define as 1 formed BM a day, no blood or mucus. But still have other minor symptoms. If I...
I'm always in remission as long as I'm on the SCD diet. I never get a flare if I don't cheat on the diet. Amazon.com does not deliver LiveLeaf products to Canada. It's not available on Amazon.ca...
I would try it but can't get any of the products you suggested in Canada, i.e. Z-Pac, LiveLeaf, the specific probiotic you mentioned....
I think the guy was featured on CNN for this protocol. https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/19/health/new-use-for-antidepressants-bowel-crohns-disease-partner/index.html...
Probably just a placebo effect....
Probably some sort of negative feedback, where the body senses the extra antibodies and ramps down production of new ones....
Unfortunately, she didn't really publish her rationale for some of the foods on the legal/illegal list. Apparently it came down to the amount of complex carbs in certain foods, but it doesn't all...
The theory is that simple monosaccharide sugars can be absorbed by cells in the small intestine easily before they reach the colon because there are transporters for them in the small intestine....
Ditto for me. Being on or off SCD controls whether I am in a flare or not....
Well there are still lots of carbs in ripe bananas, just that they are now largely monosaccharides instead of linked units. You may be right that it works differently, because SCD theorizes that it...
There are contradictions in the diet, but this is not one of them. SCD says to eat ripe bananas. As bananas ripen, the complex carbs in them breakdown into simple sugars making them easily...
SCD controls whether I am in a full flare or not. I never get a flare if I am on the diet....
Thank you. I'm very happy, grateful, and feel very blessed, and I hope to pass it on. Best wishes to you! This is somewhat similar to what is in my signature and what I find so effective. My fiber...
SCD for me. It literally controls flares and remissions in my UC....
OP, what about fruits and juices with no added sugar? Are those a problem too? Or only table sugar....
Diet is the only thing that worked for me, so don't let the negativity get you down. Look at both sides and try things yourself. Everyone will respond uniquely. It's very tempting to say what worked...
Hi Steve, thanks for the info. I did call Dr. Jace and asked if he knew someone around me, but he said no. LA is unfortunately way too far from me. But I may try to make the trip there at some point...
