Hey Bacon sorry to see your back,I don't visit too often myself. Back in 2021 a hard tool puntcured my rectum,emergency surgery at 1 AM,was real septic almost took me out real close. 95+% colon...
Congrats. I am just over a year,95+ colon left,and rectal stump. Do not want to jink myself,but UC seem to be gone. Very strange. Oldmike...
Advantage plans are not medicare,they are insurance. Anyway I have been on Plan F HD for the past 9 years about 65/month so in round numbers between me and the wife save about 300/month over regular...
Well I would get rectal abscesses really bad ones after eating steamed clams. I tested it about 5 times. My guess was that with quick boil just until they open is not suffucuent to kill the internal...
Had mine out 24 years ago indigestion then went to excruciating chest pain thought I was having a heart attack. Gallbladder will let you know and no uncertain terms the pain is exquisite. Ultrasound...
Well if it is an energy supply problem and butyrate enemas don't work. There can be a beta oxidation block,possible even genetic. Another possible solution is to try and feed the rectal cells from...
Sara14: Was really afraid of any ileus,and or slow down of bowel function with narcotics. Oldmike...
Thanks All; Havent taken and UC meds since 1982,no meds now. Was septic,they washed whole body cavity out with chlorohexadine. 3 JP drains. Had large pus pocket in muscle behind left kidney,needed...
Oldhat: Wifes wrists recovered, she was out at pickleball lessons last week. She is 78,I told her if you trip,goodby wrists. Her DEXA bone scans are not good. Don't know how they screwed up my Ulnar...
Thanks Sara. Did post op with just Tylenol,open surgery. Did not want narcotics. That was fun. But my young female gi surgeon did a outstanding job. Was a septic mess. Oldmike...
Been one year today still alive. Stoma works great Peri stomal skin good shape. My right hand still doesn't work right due to nerve damage otherwise okay. Stay well. Old Mike...
Well if getting UTI's i might suspect bacteria in the discharge or it is pus and not normal discharge. I get it in on amazon,take 500mg or less a day,bought the powder not pills. Using acetyl L...
Never fear oldmike is still here,rectal stump and all. The problem with facebook post is that,anything important gets buried in about an hour or so,depending on the group. But I learn a lot...
Amazing how I missed this info when searching beta oxidation and UC. Right now my efforts are on diversion colitis,of my rectal stump Death Vader. Less than 500mg orally every few days of Acetyl L...
I don't have any issues with my lady surgeon,she is in charge of any surgical issues. Then again to advocate for myself just before she did a rectal stump exam. I told her "First Do No Harm." I did...

My son works 2pm to around 9-10 at night. Comes home, finds the water bowl across the kitchen. Thinks that odd.Goes over to get it,full of pee. Dog did not want to pee on the floor. Oldmike...
Perhaps, Vitamin B2,if it works. The idea is supply enough riboflavin so gut bacteria wont try and make their own. MAIT cells are activated when they sense precursers to B vitamins. Oldmike...
Discussed yeast antibodies years ago,taken lots of magnolol. Oldmike...
The research people really need to look more into identical twins one gets IBD one does not. So what's really going on. Oldmike...
Nope stayed away from docs until disaster struck. Made it 42 years. Oldmike...
I am in a ostomy group on facebook,19000 or so members. I can't believe that every week there is like 3-4 or more emergency surgeries for people who are septic with diverticulitis. They have added...
Actually never saw quite anything like what just happened. Anyhow debate/dicussion is good. Name calling not so good. We are all here to somehow get fixed, otherwise. Death Vader or someone like...
Low: I think I replied last week,anyhow there could be a change in bacteria mix,to at least more facultative bacteria. Oldmike...
Yes lots going on with niacin and redox,read that one last week. Have added more studies to first post,but not going to find much more. oldmike here is one on antioxidants since pravda thread is...
Did this get lost in all the Pravda excitement. Niacin also important for redox couples,believe increases reduced glutathione. Anyhow look at 2nd study above, look at the human UC scope pictures....
Poopy: Sure another good paper,H2S,nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide is a bad mix in the colon. But we are missing something. Could even be over supplementation,causing a pro oxidant mess,even too...
It is still a good theory and probably close to correct. I know that before my sons UC onset he had sulfur farts that could clear a room,cant remember if I had them or not. Anyway hydrogen sulfide,...
Charlie: My colostomy Laurie, and my rectal stump Death Vader tell the story. Started researching UC 42 years ago when you had to read books,no real internet in 1980. Oldmike...
Been trying to solve this since 2005 when Pravda paper came out. RIT Radical Induction Theory, I have a lot of old threads on it. Oldmike...
DHLA or ALA don't over do it. Oldmike https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2952079/ ...
I knew I was still good for something. Search skills. Now if you can handle fresh yogurt bacteria,or kill them and then eat,here you go. I know nothing else about the process except what is written...
Look at my third link in the first post. A possible way around this block is exogenous beta hydroxybutyrate. Will it work don't know. In other words feeding the cells systemically from the blood...
Here is another dot to connect,How to fix.??? nitric oxide, sulfide, hydrogen peroxide is a bad combo. oldmike https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1007034417320 ...
Well I found my thread on beta oxidation inhibitors, from 2012. Oldmike https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2493840 ...
Enjoy,read carefully. Yea, I tried pantothenic acid,did not fix me. But enough dots might connect some day. The reason I still post here is trying to save my rectal stump,plus just helping out,plus I...
Van Well I took Source Naturles Sod Power supplement, melon sod,from this paper it is a pro oxidant,since it makes peroxide. This paper talks about the same stuff. Made me so bad threw the bottle...
Don't know. If bacteria somehow breach the mucus barrier that can cause colitis,if not controlled. I always had trouble with probiotics,but that was after UC not before. Oldmike...
Hi Ncot: Good luck. If getting a ileo tell the surgeon the stoma has to stick out a little, not flat or inverted with the skin. The skin problems I see with bag seal leaks amd multiple bag changes a...

A few thought from oldmike. Quit smoking 1977,UC rectum 1980,started smoking 1982 into remission,quit again 1986 uc flare which never ended. If I take SOD got worse,suspect too much conversion of...
Hi CC thanks for asking. Yeah I'm still here Laurie doing fine. One trick to all this bag stuff is keeping the skin around the stoma in good shape mine is in great shape. In the ostomy group I'm in...
As much as I search never ran across this one,may also help with UC. Case study of one,but there is a bunch of info out there. Take a look at the CRP drop in the chart. Person also not on meds. At...
