Natural Remedies that work

I have been suffering for over 3 years from UC/UP and have finally gone into remission for over 4 months now.
I have tried everything. Drugs mask symptoms, but didn't help cure or put me in remission.

I used the GAPS diet, home made Kefir, and colostrum and Kefir enemas.

Has anyone used any other natural forms of treatment that worked for them?

I am not regurgitating anything.
This is MY truth and personal experience thus far.
Are you personally cured? Do you have zero symptoms without drugs?
If your answer is "no", then how can you say your symptoms arent being "masked" by the drugs you take?
If this is a forum about only pharma therapy, then maybe im in the wrong place?
Im simply wondering if anyone has tried natural therapies that worked and also share my experinces with therapies that worked, that could possibly help others and their suffering.

If you have nothing respectful or positive to offer, then please dont reply. Its a waste of my time.
Thank you kindly and God bless.

I think by mask what that really means is that many treatments are modifying the immune system to slow down. But yes if you are very lucky, sometimes healthy lifestyle can also calm inflammation. Thats just my opinion. But spontaneous remission happens too. So no matter what keep up with your dr. If you’re doing good now that is wonderful. But if you find yourself needing medicine at some point then that’s what you do. I understand why people want to try natural first. It just isn’t always effective. As far as I know, it’s simply eating less inflammatory foods and probiotics to try to keep the gut healthy. For many years I could get by fine like that then one morning I was instantly sick again and needed meds. I don’t think there’s any magic combo, colostrum is known to help with diarrhea. Still have your colon looked at periodically.

I to think many things modulate the immune system in some way to block inflammation and/or damage from inflammation. A few things, including some nutritional one, can also promote mucosal healing or help regulate symptoms like D, which can persist even after inflammation is treated.

Anything that needs to be taken ongoing, whether medical or supplemental, can be debated as cure or mask - or just say effective treatment.

It is problematic to say that meds only "mask" and then suggest (without any evidence, basis, or specifics) that there are natural things that will "cure" not "mask". That is semantically problematic, and a bit unhelpful to have on a forum where people are seeking knowledge.

I think folks who what to explore lifestyle, probiotic, traditional med, nutritional approaches, or other supplements can find ideas and feedback here. I see it discussed a lot. Generally with the qualification that it likely won't work for all.

There also seem to be folks like the OP with agendas, or maybe just frustrated and angry. If you insist that others here agree that meds "don't work" and "only mask", don't be surprised if you get pushback form the more scientifically minded.
