My story with ulcerative colitis
i have Uc to medication didnt work to well for me so i researched and found out that marijuawna Helps so i tried it And im back to normal
scd diet?
Sorry to hear you’re being affected by your UC… but trust me, there is hope without surgery. I _conquered_ UC without it, using diet as a weapon… Today, I hardly have any symptoms whatsoever (I’m probably more regular than so-called _regular_ people) and can pretty much go anywhere, do anything and eat most anything without worry, as long as I don’t overdo anything. No surgery whatsoever, and no drugs anymore (after taking them for about 1 year). Check out my video and join the discussion!
I had UC. I had 3 “J pouch” surgery procedures. Usually it takes only 2, but I was in bad shape.When I had my 1st surgery, I weighed less than 100 pounds.
So anyways I had the surgery. Took a while to adjust but now I live a NORMAL life. No more constant pain!.
If this plagues you, consider the surgery.
Good luck to you. Thanks for talking about it.
I have UC too, had the same symptons as you and the doctors took forever to diagnose.. they’ve told me again and again it’s not caused by diet, but please don’t listen – try the scd diet – it REALLY works, you’ll feel so much better. Best of luck to you.
There some good info on Curezone
I had it bad for yearsbut now am virtually normal for a year and since avoiding doctors and all medication which only made me worse
I did a lot but absolutely no drugs and I refused the surgery . thank god I did
It can be hard to get off drugs once your bodies used to them. READ A LOT and figure out the best thing for you is my advice
I was 24 when I got UC. I was trying to eat healthy and eat fruits and fruit juice but I think that’s what caused my UC, especially bananas and green apples. Asacol helped but my stool was very large and cleanup was like peanut butter on my butt. A doc switched me to sulfasalazine for cheaper price. Now my stool is small and formed and no wiping needed. Your rash may be from asacol, not prednisone. Have you a had a bone density scan for baseline? It would be helpful 20 years from now to compare.
Hey man. I have U.C. and I hear you. There’s a website by a Dr. named Dr. Dhalman or Dahlman…Anyhoo, I stay away from nitrates,flouride,caffeine,carbonation,fried,or spicy foods,DAIRY!. And I take 2 asacol 3 times daily. 3.5 oz of aloe vera w/agave nectar twice daily & 1 fish,flax,and borage w/ food. Check that dude’s site if u like. I don’t have the $ for the protocal, but he seams knowledgeable. Good Luck
The Hippocratic Oath, “First Do No Harm,” means that the least destructive solutions should be examined before all others. really think about this? I can tell you so many people have beat IBD’s without surgery or drugs, do not let yourself think you can not be one of these people. Check out my site and you can see many people who have overcome their IBD using various methods. CrohnBoy dotcom Dont be shy hope to to hear from you.
i found that most people take sulfasalazine
I had the same problems with C-diff and being bedridden for weeks at a time. I was told to just “deal with it” or that I was making it up. When I started losing weight they accused me of anorexia. It is a rough battle and people do not understand how it can interfere with life/school/relationships. keep posting I am comforted by your story!!
thank you for the comment about the prednisone, i’ve been on it since february, and they are definitely concerned with my liver and kidney functions, as well as some of the things you were talking about, i have to get blood work done quite often and have bone density scans done once every 2 months…bleh
also just wanted to add that steering clear of the steroids if you can, i would suggest. they caused me to develop pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart) which i had surgery for, and i’ve also developed hypoglycemia because of prednisone. these are real side effects of that stuff that people often overlook, and they’re definitely not uncommon.
thanks for sharing your story. been suffering with colitis for about 4 years on and off. they (mis)diagnosed me with something similar where they said it was extremely contagious but strangely my family never “caught” it. one thing i’ve learned is that antibiotics make this VERY worse. check out olive leaf extract if you really need something. & if you can cut out as much sugar as possible, that will help you so much, it did for me. good luck to you.
