I have had this disease for about 12 years and been a member of this website for most of it. I have been pretty fixed for about a year. I dropped all my Drs medicines and weaned off of prednisone while taking.

ccherbal
vsl3
tumeric
natures bounty delayed release probiotics
mor epa fish oil

at the same time as I went on those I did the SCD diet for about two months.

NO high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup. Limit regular sugar intake.

ccherbal and the scd diet did the most for me. ccherbal made my stomach gurgle (in a good way) within an hour. I am not sure that I even needed the scd but it certainly didn't hurt (except my brain....very tough diet!).

I still go 4 or 5 times a daybut no blood and much less urgency. No harmful meds either.

This worked for me. Good luck everyone!

Oh and I had taken vsl3 years before with no affect but maybe I didn't take enough. This time around I took an enormous amount (something like 15 pills a day?) I don't remember. I only take 4 pills a day now. My Dr. threatened to take out my colon within months so I through the kitchen sink at it (to include whip worms) and I got better. I don't think the worms worked because it has been over a year since I took it last and I haven't noticed any difference.

Good for you.
What dose of turmeric do you take?

I switched from RX to 3 g. of 95% turmeric caps for 1 year with very happy gut however had to switch back because although turmeric was very good for my gut it allowed bad skin infections that I never had before. I believe turmeric suppressed the healing process. Just keep an eye out for that. Turmeric from grocery store is not as strong so would not be a problem.

I'm glad you're feeling better but i do worry that you've still got inflammation remaining from your uc with 4-5 bms a day. That frequency is usually associated with moderate uc inflammation. I'd combine prescription medications with your current alternatives and that just might be your key to remission.

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I was out of options and facing surgery. My doctor actually recommended CCherbal. I've been taking it since 2009 and haven't looked back.
