Yes they were very expensive over 200 dollars. What I'm going to try now is less antioxidants along with OOO and I ordered LDN that is now coming. Going to do 4.5mg of that and 3 drops of OOO once or...
I will chime in. Tried most of the listed antioxidants for a month and it definitely helped and I enjoyed the learning about the information but no it was not a cure for me in anyway. But I have...
Thanks Mark. Appreciate the repost....
I'm curious to know why Van Jordan doesn't have R-Lipoic Acid on his list from Life Extension? Isn't that the one oral treatment Dr Pravda has mentioned he gives. Just wondering if I missed something...
Good luck!!! Getting Scoped sucks...
I have been using an empty economy box of trash bags, perfect height of about a foot high, I have been using that for the last 6 months and I HATE going nowadays without using it, i.e. when I'm not...
WOW 30? That is a whole lot of prepping you have done in your lifetime. My hat is off to you as you are going to top the 1,000 hour mark on prepping time, which equates to slightly over 7 miles of...
My guess and only a guess, is that maybe when you leave the house you are walking, this walking is what gets your bowels going, maybe take a short walk or just walk around the house in circles before...
Congrats on both remission and living life!!! It always feels good to be "normal" even if it only lasts for a short time span. I bet you felt just as accomplished finishing the race as you did...
I take my dog on a walk everyday about 3-4 miles after work. I try and do this regardless of weather or flare. I walk through the park (porta potties are around) and out to back side where there is...
I'm with you on colonoscopies cause major anxiety, nobody looks forward to those things, but they are incredibly helpful and needed. I hate the thought of them from prep, to the IV (hate needles) to...
I'm not sure but I believe the yellow could be bile that isn't fully broken down due to a very fast transit time or too much bile production?...
I'm with Ki-Wi I get way more annoyed at the people I trusted and confided in that after nearly a decade still don't get it, or even taken the time to learn just a little bit about it. It only gets...
I have been taking VSL#3 and WOO for about 2 years now with no problems. I never take them together though as I'm afraid the WOO would kill off all the probiotics in the VSL#3. So I take the WOO in...
Top down is oral through your digestive tract, bottom up would be rectal meds- which are by far the best for rectum inflammation and lower large bowel inflammation. Since your inflammation is at the...
My guess is that the change in diet is causing the sleeping sharts. Typically when people change their diet to include a lot more veggies and salads it causing several days of gas as the body adjusts...
If I ever eat Luck Charms I get green poop. Not so sure if that is my luck charm or not. And if I eat Honey Smacks I can smell it in my urine, but for some odd reason I can't if I eat asparagus,...
Maybe you are putting your clothes in the dryer to long and hot causing those shirts to shrink? That is what I always say anyways :). Or it could be that steroids cause water retention and bloating...
I think you have it switched around, bad bowels cause the lack of sleep and fatigue. I have noticed over the years one of my first signs of starting a flare I get fatigued and tired, I first usually...
It is funny and sad, but I truly believe a lot people could benefit from seeing pictures. It would set a good benchmark for people to see what "others" look like at a different stages of their...
I would probably be a little let down, it all depends what it means at the time it is too late for me. Like I'm on my death bed waiting to die, in that scenario I wouldn't even care, I would only...
It has changed the longer I have this disease. At first it was blood, mucus and multiple trips to the bathroom. If I had any the urgency that I couldn't hold in longer than 5 minutes I would...
Sharron I just wanted to thank you for the continued updates, I know it takes a lot to keep updating everybody on this drawn out process that you are going through and wanted to let you know it is...
In this country YES. Money buys anything and everything. My current financial situation which isn't anywhere near poor only affords me what my current "plan" allows, I couldn't even dream of seeing...
My typical first signs of a flare are I'm exhausted, worn out, need naps at about the same time my diet changes, one day starving the next I never feel hungry. From there it will go to uneasy...
I think the question was actually mis-leading. I think the poster is afraid of doctors more than a diagnosis, it is just that the doctor has to make the diagnosis. I get that, who really likes...
Hi, My name is Bad Gut and I'm a chocoholic. It is true I can hardly make it 24 hrs without a fix, it started as a child and has festered into a larger addiction as I age. I don't care if it is cake,...
I have been on it for a little over a year and it has done wonders for me as far as upper digestion is concerned. I used to suffer bad from morning nausea which would cause me to vomit almost every...
It is so disgusting that I'm seriously considering driving out to Boston and paying this guy true street value for his poo. I mean they make him take a train, walk and do all this for only $40? I...
The yellow stuff is bile, I used to throw up almost immediately after waking up for years or it would be what got me out of bed way early in the AM, it was strange I would actually feel fine I just...
How much smoke vs. how much pred? I honestly think it is a coin flip, although my guess is if one was to start smoking at 18 and another was to start taking pred at lets say 40mg daily starting at...
I was going to mention possible ganglion cyst, they are common on the tailbone but I see banana covered it. I get ganglion cysts on my wrists, they can become very painful. and they only hurt when...
I haven't had issues with oatmeal, but I never eat any of that has a whole bunch added to it, i.e. nuts mainly. It is high in fiber so it actually helps me bulk things up quite a bit. Give it a go...
I suffered with morning nausea for years. I would wake up feeling fine and within a minute of getting out of bed and standing up I would get this sick feeling come over me and I would have to...
Not sure about becoming the steroid dependent portion, but I can say and others will echo the fact the rectal inflammation is the hardest part of a flare to get under control. I lived with that small...
I just wouldn't have issues with falling into the toilet, I would be afraid of breaking it and if that didn't happen the concern would be directed at the upcoming anticipated splash down, from that...
I'm sorry but that sounds so FREAKING PATHETIC, people are so self consumed anymore it is just plain pathetic, I can't think of any other term. FACEBOOK seriously? You can't get anybody to pick up a...
The first time I heard this I thought I would give it a try, but I wasn't going to spend the 20 bucks on a plastic stool, so I thought I would try an empty Lawn Trash bag box, this was about 3 months...
Wow my GI is way lax then I take it, At 43 I have had a total of ONE colonoscopy when I was diagnosed at 35, they said at that age 10 years between colonoscopies unless there is an issue. At 50 they...
I will admit that I have been using cannabis for decades and when it went legal I went down to purchase some "high" quality edibles because all hear about is how wonderful and potent they are - I...
And now thinking this through a little more, do antibotics breakdown in the body? Or do we actually end up peeing or pooping them out in the same form, which would also be the same as flushing them?...
The only reason I ever remember hearing about why kids hit puberty early is solely due to hormones they pump up chickens and cows with, which sounds way more plausible to me, I'm not being...
I asked to be tested but the doctor refused to do any tests for me. Said that had nothing to do with it, I disagreed and started an anti fungal yeast food at the time. The only thing I do know is...
So what does the pharmacy do with the pills I wonder? Put them on a rocket and send them into the sun? Put them with medical waste to be burned, so then it goes into the atmosphere to rain back down?...
My mother has diverticultitis and I gave her some of my Wild Oil of Oregano to try, anytime she now has issues with her diverticulitis she changes her diet and takes a few drop of WOO for 2-3 days...
I have never had my vit D checked so I can't say anything about that, but I have been taking vit D during the winter months for the past 3 years and I am happy to say i haven't gotten a cold at least...
mmmm, well I think I will wait until the farmers market starts in a couple of weeks to see if they have any. I think the ones with the single needles are the correct ones, but as you guys know our...
O.k maybe a off the wall crazy question. Where I walk my dog nightly there are a ton of cactus - I believe them to be Nopal, but there seems to be two different strains of them. One strain has long...
I was 34, but like another said I was managing small symptoms for years, it was over a 3 week period when the wheels just came off the bus, I went from having small digestive issues to an all out...
When it comes to family for me it is a non issue. If they make something I can't eat, I just simply tell them I can't have it because of the UC, I say it politely and not in anyway showing them that...
