Another interesting article on L-threonine and it's effect on the mucosal lining of the gut.. I appologize if this has been posted already

Glad you finally got it!

Give it about 4-6 days, and I think you'll see some results.

It gives you awesome, deep sleep...

Hi Insofl,

I sleep great using it! I'm was on the 4th night last night. Today my bms were much better and I had no pain giong to the bathroom, my poop kind of just fell out.. no involuntary gut spasams or pain that I have been experiencing.  I'm hoping its the l theronine. Time will sure tell :)

 I'm back on probiotics and a ton of water for the last two days. I think this helps too.

I will keep you update later this week.

BM's about the same as before. I am still trying to figure out what is was 3 weeks ago that helped me.
never have experienced pain which I am lucky.
deep sleep, vivd LDN type dreams.

InsoFla how did you come to conclusion that it was Threonine? Below are the amino acids profile of raw lobster. Thanks.

Sweet! Stero that's awesome to read! Yes I did want to say too for me today, less blood. You have more nights in on taking it, so hopefully I'll see the results like you soon!

Hey, I take three pills a day 800mg each. So, Colozal is like Asacol/mesalamine? Do you think it helps you? -I'd like to get off asacol very soon, provided I can stay balanced with L-Threonine!

Hi Stereo, yes colozal if like asacol but it's suppose to be better for people with left sided UC.

Danthaman,

How are you taking your L-Threonine, how much and when? How long have you been on it?

The L-Threonine supplementation came as a result of my finding out that each time I had steamed lobster (picked from a live tank), the next am I had nearly perfect BMs and no fibromyalgia pains. I started researching, and found some scarce studies showing in rats and piglets that L-Threonine helps with mucosal lining repair. Then I found threonine also helps with nervous system (fibro). I tried glucosamine initially but it did nothing for fibro or UC.

Then I read in some study that live fresh lobsters contain the highest amounts of threonine, and apparently as the lobsters are frozen the threonine gets reduced tremendously. I tried eating frozen lobster, no results.

I decided to order the L-Treonine amino acid powder to see if i could replicate the steamed lobster experiment results, and BINGO!

Perfectly formed BMs + no fibro pain + great sleep.

After that, I didn't go further than that.

Yes a good morning a bad afternoon. Lots of yellow mucus, could this be a infection? I leak too from my rear, this is all new within the last month, I can't feel it but it's yellowish and sticky and its not the color of my medication, I'm on asacol now. I just had major d with blood so I don't know if I should take l theronine during the day too?

How do I know if it's a infection of a fissure or something? I got to the rectal doctor one month from now.

I don't have a fever, I do have night sweats off and on. Any thoughts? I have flagyl with me, but I hate to self medicate.

Thanks

therearemiracles,

i think you should call your doc, no?

Unfortunatly I don't think it's making a difference, maybe good sleep. It has been 5 days. Today I pooped my pants on the way to work, when I say poop (and I already did a lot in the am before work) it's was like smelly baby diaper poo! And a ton of it, which I can't hold back. It's poo not liquid.  I sit on towels and drive 7 miles home to changed, shower again! Sucks! I had Kashi cereal last night around 10pm, the granola. I was starving from walking and having a light dinner.  Maybe that was too much fiber?

therearemiracles your struggles sound a lot like mine. I havent pooped my pants during the day (have sharded a few times a night) since going gluten free. I dont know if you are but if anything it has helped me in those regards. I can make it to the bathroom no more OMG I need to find it now. Its not a cure all by any means but it was an irritant that was removed.
