Vitamin D Milk

Anyone on no medication at all? All Natural?

I have been taking Tanalbit(you can google it) and L-glutamine. It seems to do the work in keeping me in check. I also take primadophilus reuteri made by natures way, although not religious about it....

Coconut for UC?

This has been brought up before. You may wish to search for previous posts. I drink coconut water all the time. Calories seem to be less than a can of soda. In India, coconut water is used to treat...

Remicade or Imuran?

From what I remember, I think the potential side effects of Ramicade are much worse than those of Imuran. That's not to say Imuran doesn't have severe side-effects either. I would try Imuran before...

How do you bleed?

For those bleeding frequently, I would suggest Rowasa(same medication as Asacol) but rectally. I find that it does help me reduce and speed up the elimination of bleeding. Frankly, I was surprised...

I have discovered something that I think will help you too. PART 2

coincidentally, I got into my remission by following anti-fungal diet. basically, only vegetables, eggs, coconut water, olive leaf extracts, pita wraps, quinos(sp?) for grain. One thing I ate a lot...
