Vitamin E enemas

Tried it for a couple weeks. Hard to mix, takes alot of patience and in the end.. wasn't worth it to me. Didn't help at all.. It was too time consuming to do on a daily basis.

Connor, 

I had my local compounding pharmacy create the vitamin e enema for me.  They used Sheldon's formula and said it was a lot of work poking the capsules so they searched to find a liquid vitamin e.  NOW Foods was where they found the liquid E.  I am not sure which one it is they ordered, but here is a sight where I found it.  I know they mixed it with distilled water and it was so more convient to have it made in sterile conditions. 

I did the vitamin E enema from February to April.  During this time I also changed my diet .  I eliminated pasta, breads, processed foods.  I ate a lot of crockpot chicken, fish, creamy Maranatha peanutbutter& Raw honey, asparagus, cooked carrots and spinach, Soymilk, StonyFields yogurt, eggs and cheese.  Everything organic if possible.  By the end of April I had formed stools, no diarhea, no mucous, very little cramping. 5 months later I only have a little blood in my stool in the morning.  

I have my bm in the morning after my shower.  That is the way my body has always been.  I don't have time to lay down to let the enema work it's way up my colon.  Sunday -Friday I am up by 5:45 a.m. and have to have myself and four kids out the door by 7a.m. It's hard enough getting up by 5:45  than to even think about getting up earlier.   So I may get to do the enema on Saturday.  I did find some vitamin E suppositories. 

I really think it has been a combination of the Vitamin E enema,  the diet, and the supplements.

My family dr  agreed to try  Asacol in July, only 3 pills a day and recently upped it to 2 pills 3 times a day.  I still have a slight amount of blood though. 

I hate taking a whole lot of prescription drugs. Plan on calling the GI doctor.  I dread calling the GI doc.  I don't want to take so many prescription pills.

I want to take the least amoung possible to heal the colon.  I know I need another colonoscopy, it's been a year now.

When I was seriously flairing and willing to try anything, I found a link concerning Vitamin E enemas. So, I figured what the @#**, and gave it a try. i was surprised that it did help and after two weeks I was feeling much better. I also started heavy duty probiotics that I continue to take. For me the hardest part was getting the enemas inside me. I'm a little overweight and felt that I needed to become a contortionist with such a small amount of fluid. You can always give it a try and be happy if it works for you. It certainly does not cost much!
