WARNING!
I have done some research that has revealed a crazy element concerning my chronic colitis. Actually I thought of it from reading a post here that mentioned that carrageenan could cause diarrhea. I have been having worsening bouts for about 7 months and have been trying to figure out how my diet could have changed and what could have caused this. I had started drinking a lot more of the coconut and almond milks...this is suppose to be a GOOD thing, right? Also putting it in my Healthy whey protein drinks and smoothies. Come to find out that both the nut milks and the protein powder have carrageenan in them. Also the Aloe Vera Inner Fillet Gel that I had been drinking has it in the formula also. I am going to eliminate this immediately from my diet. I am not a very strong person, my immune system isn't so great.
Maybe this isn't your problem, but I am certainty going to find out. If you have a problem with the big 'D', it may be worth it to ck the ingredients in the 'healthy' things you have been ingesting. Bless you all.

General Feedback
Japanese researchers identified a particular bacteria (Fusobacterium varium) as a cause of UC. This bacteria produces a substance (butyric acid) that attacks and inflames the bowels.
See here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1773498/
They are now targeting the bacteria with specific medications.
See here: http://www.thedoctorschannel.com/video/3068.html
Other information on effective antibiotics for this bacteria, drugs that will block the specific organic acid created by this bacteria, and drugs to keep it from implanting into the bowel's mucosa is available here: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7700106.html
If anyone can address this data, that would be great. I don't want to take too many medications or natural remedies without understanding the root cause of the problem. My gall bladder was removed in the mid 90's so it is possible that I may have been more susceptible to this disease - not sure. I was diagnosed last summer. (about 7 cm uc found at the entrance of the rectum)... On Asacol now... we'll see...
Your response would be appreciated. Thank You, J

Pramol from NYC, it's wonderful you've found aloe vera to help. We advised our daughter to use it a couple years ago, but she seemed to not take enough of it regularly, perhaps because of the taste, to make a difference. Good luck to all.

6. Take a one month fresh grape juice diet (drink one cup only grape juice every one hour but nothing else)... I did this only for 2 days and it seemed to be working but I was not too determined to continue.
Plz let me know the result if somebody goes for more days. Good luck
Vitamin E Enema
★★★★★
I actually have fruits too like banana, avocado and mango. I have stuck to the 10 capsules a day and I also take 1 orally, vitamin D (2 capsules) together with Calcium and magnesium (1 capsule), Selenium and L-glutamin. However I started those extra supplements one week after I started the enema so Vitamin E has done the miracle and the others I'm taking to help make the healing process faster.
The therapy must be for no less than 3 months. I will keep you posted after 3 months when I stop but I would do it my whole life if I had to given that I would be symptom free and enjoy my fruits and vegetables!!

You said you did the water and brown rice in December 2008. How are you doing now? Since 2008 did you have to do the 7-day diet again? Was it difficult to follow this diet for 7-days?
I have been suffering with UC for almost 10 years. I have done probiotics, diets, aloe vera, acupuncture, kinsiology. Natural treatments and just about every prescription drug that was approved. I still have a hard time accepting the "there is no cure".
Baking Soda, Milk of Magnesia
As far as a soothing and healing agent, I don't think anything quite matches Liquified Bentonite. It's soothing and very healing. Take 1/4 cup mixed with non-acidic juice or beverage upon arising, between meals and especially at bedtime. Natural Liquid Vitamin E is also a wonderful soothing agent when taken at bedtime.
Avoid Dairy products, all refined sugar and fried foods. Almond milk is a great substiture for those who want to avoid soy. Many with bowel disorders find wheat products which contain gluten only irritate the colon. Brown rice flour and pasta etc. can easily be substituted and are much easier to digest. For those with very high acidic levels, usually Type O bloods, eating meat and fish actually helps control the acidic beast. It's like throwing a chunk of meat to a shark. If you don't, the acid (shark) actually attacks the lining of the stomach and the intestines. Be sure that ANY white meats or occasional reds are completely hormone and pesticide free. They MUST BE thoroughly masticated and never, ever fried. Steamed vegies are an amazingly healing accompaniment as well as gold or red baked potatoes. I hope this helps many of those suffering.

Great news on the non recurrence of ulcerative colitis.
I just saw a success story of a lady who had suffered from UC for years and was on continued meds to keep the UC under control.
She experimented with Colloidal Silver and in two weeks could tell the UC had dramatically diminished. Now, three months later she is not on meds and the symptoms of UC are gone.
She is convinced the Silver finally killed the infection.

What can I take at home, to stop the internal bleeding, and clear the infection, and heal the internal wound?
I have ulceratie colitis. I am also ill with many other health conditions, lyme, failing organs, all from never being diagnosed with Lyme and coinfections, which I have had for over 20 years. And Mercury amalgams in my teeth, wich I cant remove, because I am too ill.
I cant go to the hospital. I dont trust them anymore. and I dont know a safe one. And I cant do IV's anymore, so if I go to the hospital for colitis, I wont survive even getting the IV.
I really want to live.
What can I take at home for severe ulcerative colitis? I have urgency constantly and can barely make it to the bathroom. It is pus and blood. Lots of pus and lots of blood. If I eat anything, I run to the bathroom immediately.
I am so anemic, and need to eat. Please what can I take to quickly heal the internal bleeding and infection? What can I eat?
I feel like I am about to die. When I am this anemic, my body is starving for oxygen and my blood cells or whatever body parts provide my body with oxygen, are depleted.
Thank you!

How much cayenne powder to take daily and how many times a day? To stop the bleeding internal ulcer wounds? I am only able to eat 1 cup of broth as my only food daily, because if I eat or drink, I have to run to the bathroom. It is a lot of pus and blood. Can I put the cayenne powder in the chicken broth, or do I take it in warm water?
Can I bake a whole garlic in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F? Will that still stop the infection?
Thank you
Avoid EDTA
I am trying the cayenne powder. So far still bleeding and pus and urgency. The intestinal tissue is very sensitive, and anything that passes over it, seems to aggravate it. The enema sounds like a good idea, except that I am barely mobile, and have so many health issues, that I cant bend down to get to the ground, and I cant lay on the ground, I have a broken back, and bad knees etc, mostly bedridden, except I spend a lot of time in the bathroom for these past few weeks with the urgency. As soon as I leave the bathroom, I have to rush back in again. And I barely have any food in me, so its just the blood and pus that comes out. I tried the baked garlic, but if that only has 90% of the health value then I will have to try it raw. Is the garlic and cayenne ok for ulcers? Or is it too harsh on the raw/wounded intestinal tissue and ulcers? Today I ate a peeled, baked apple, and a cup of chicken broth with a small piece of chicken in it, which I chewed very well so there were no large pieces to swallow. And 3T of georges aloe. I am very hungry, but I know that the less food that passes over the wounds, the faster I can heal. But I feel terrible without nutrition. I tried black strap molasses with 1/4tsp baking soda in warm water for 2 days, but I am concerned that the molasses might feed the colitis, so I am unsure if its ok. According to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, legal/illegal list, to heal colitis, there are many things that it says not to eat, like mucilaginous things, etc, so as not to feed the colitis. I did not try Equalactin yet. I didn't put the cayenne in a capsule because the capsule itself, is just one more thing that can irritate the intestinal wound. Anything else that I can try to heal the sensitive internal wounds and ulcers? Thank you.

What B vitamin brand, sublingual and methylated could I try? I have MTHFR, so I need methylated everything. Still up all night, only slept one hour again, because of the urgency for the bathroom. Still pus and blood. Still dehydrated, anemic, loss of nutrients, and still the active open infected/bleeding internal intestinal ulcers. I would like to try the B vitamins, please let me know a suggested kind to try, and any other remedies, Thank you

I will order the DMSO soon for the ulcerative colitis, as soon as I have the $ for it. I am taking 1/2 tsp cayenne powder in 1 cup of chicken soup. There was less bleeding yesterday. Still pus, and urgency. If I sneeze or eat food, the bleeding re-starts. Is there anything else I can try for: infection/ulcers/wounds/ urgency/blood/ autoimmune/ heart pain/stagnant thick lymphatics? Last night I couldnt sleep at all from I heart pain, and left arm pain, from my fingertips, up my whole arm, armpit, shoulder and heart. I have still been using magnesium, and magnesium spray, while I have colitis. It is one of the few supplements that I continued, for my heart. Most of my daily vitamins and supplements I have had to stop for the past 3 weeks, because anything that passes over the wounds in the intestines, re-opens the ulcers/wounds. But I have continued with magnesium and spraying the heart twice a day, because I want to keep my heart healthy. I am severely dehydrated for many years, with severe Sjogrens, and also, since Feb, I have had ZERO eye, nose, mouth, or vaginal fluid, since menopause started Feb. So I am dehydrated. The more water I drink, seems to pass right thru me, and pulls out the minerals I had. But yet I still drink a lot of water because I dont know what else to do, to re-start fluid and hydration. What can I do for the heart and arm pain? That will also help colitis at the same time? I have stagnant lymphatics, my limbs look like tree trunks. My left arm is so thick, it feels like a blood pressure strap is squeezing it 24/7 and it hurts. The thickness in the left arm is wide and hard, from the wrist, all the way up, and under the armpit, and to the heart. It is much thicker today, tree trunk thick. I dont think I can take serrapeptase because it might remove the tissue that is healing in the intestines. I cant take melatonin, it gives me vertigo. Thank you very much

Thank you for the remedies to try. Unfortunately I cant go to the hospital. I am immune compromised, so if I catch anything from someone sick at the hospital, which is highly possible, then I cant handle having to cough. I cant heal if I cough, because the internal wound would re-open if I cough. And I cant handle being any sicker. Also I cant do the strap on my arm for blood pressure and I cant do IV's. So in order to live, I actually have to stay home. I am using cayenne pepper to stop the bleeding. It is helping, as long as I don't sneeze. Yesterday I did not sneeze, and there was barely any bleeding. Still pus and urgency. Because I don't produce nose fluid anymore, I sneeze easily. I have a tea that has slippery elm in it. I will try the monolaurin for infection. Thank you. I have a question about slippery elm. Maybe does this only effect some people with colitis?: I have MTHFR, so maybe I am more sensitive. Here is my question: If you read the Specific Carbohydrate Diet list of legal/illegal foods, it says that slippery elm, is a mucilaginous polysaccharide which encourages the bad guys to grow, the ones that cause colitis, and that aloe, increases the release of tumor necrosis factor, which increases inflammation. And it says mucilaginous substances, our compromised guts can't digest this stuff, but our bugs can have quite a party on it, mucilaginous herbs are loaded with starch, which is food for the pathogens. And the articles that you linked, show that slippery elm helps ulcers. So my question is, does it work just for some people? Do I have to treat/heal differently with having MTHFR? And yes, I have been anemic for over 10 years, mainly because my body isn't functioning properly. I have had undiagnosed lyme and co-infections for many years. And bleeding makes it worse, but the cayenne powder helped the bleeding so much yesterday. I am looking forward to trying monolaurin. Thank you very much

I will try the nicotine patches for colitis, thank you
Avoid EDTA
The slippery elm is the powder form, in hot water, once a day, 30 minutes away from food. I don't have much, so I am only taking once a day. It is helping. Then I am taking a cup of chicken soup with 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, and I added a teaspoon of flax oil. It is helping. I have less bleeding yesterday and today, still have uncontrolled urgency and pus/mucus. I also had a cup of rose tea for the past 3 days. And also having a peeled baked apple daily. What type of vitamin B1 thiamine will help with colitis? I have MTHFR, and also with the colitis, I need an easy to digest form of thiamine. I still plan to get Monolaurin as soon as I can afford it. I used a tiny bit of a nicotine patch. I added a small amount of white rice in lots of warm water, is that ok? Thank you

To give a full picture of what is working for me and what is not working, especially for the new person just trying to figure out how to handle uc, I wanted to add that I also am on a specific diet of no dairy, no gluten, no fats, & no sugar.
Basically I eat boiled egg whites and a few berries for breakfast, for lunch I eat low nitrate and low salt white turkey breast with some mustard, some pineapple and some strawberries and baked sweet potatoes and I drink only boiled water with some organic lemon juice and dinner is a baked sweet potato and a few sugar free popsicles. For right now, that's all that I can eat and not have the bloating and instant "d" and severe cramping. But that alone will not work without the other things I'm doing.
Also, due to foggy thinking I accidently took Lialda 1 more day, (even though my Dr. told me not to....goes to show people need to have someone else over the control of your drugs or you need to tape notes to the med bottle & write things down in a notebook as you do them). So sadly, that makes 3 dosages of Liada in 3 days. That's a low amount for what others take, but it was a lot for me. That 3d dosage of Liada brought more sheer misery with severe abdominal cramping, severe pain in my shoulder and neck joints and took away any energy I had to the point I could barely walk from my bed to the bathroom and to honest just felt like I was going to die during the cramping. For 3 days, since the 1st day I took Lialda, the pain, cramping, & mental fog & loss of energy had progressively gotten worse, so I had no question that all that was caused by the Lialda. So late on day 3, I made the decision to quit taking Lialda as I felt it was poisoning my body or at very least my body was reacting severely against Lialda.
I was and am thinking that I can still keeping the UC under control by taking probiotics (2x a day) and Quercetin (herbal inflammatory)(2 500mg caps every 6hrs at the same time I take an OTC allergy meds, "Equate") and the anti diarrheal Rx Cholestyramine (2 every 12 hrs). I am also taking 1x a day, Chaga mushroom caps, as I think that is killing off any infection. Note I do take all of these alone (at different times of the day) when I've eaten nothing for the previous hour. I don't know if this will be important for anyone, but since I'm very blood sugar sensitive, I eat something every hour. As long as this regiment keeps working I'll continue on it without Lialda, until I see my Gastro. Dr. and then we'll see what he has to say.
I'll post again as changes occur.
Zinc Enema
★★★★☆
I wait until the mixture is luke warm, (or I can use half the amount of hot water then add remaining in cold water after mixing it) pour into an enema container. I use the Ready-to-Use Saline Laxative Enema bottle found in most grocery stores pharmacy area for this zinc mixture enema. I pour out the saline solution contained within these bottles and rinsed the bottle out for my zinc enema. I tried to use this saline solution on a active flared up colitis condition a couple of times, it burned like hell and caused colon spasms. Now I just dump the saline out to use this bottle. I reuse this bottle by rinsing it out each time. (There is a round paper cover on the inside top. I remove that so it doesn't restrict flow.)
I do this zinc enema before bed after I evacuated most of the bowels and attempt to retain this over night. Often, more fecal matter will get excreted in the process. I just make more of the mixture until I'm able to retain it. A bit of Preparation H at the tip helps lubricate the process. I also keep a paper clip on hand to undo the tip should the enema bottle gets plugged up by the herbal content. I sometimes use a strainer to help prevent that as well.
To insert the enema, I lay on a towel or a disposable pad and on my left side.
Note: I learned it is recommended that one takes some copper mineral with zinc. I buy mine in capsules and take it orally.
Avoid Carrageenan
Multiple Remedies
First, as for the fiber; it would surely be an improvement expanding your fiber to more types as psyllium is good yet restricted in results. I mix a combination of Psylium-Pectin-Wheat or Oat fiber for full spectrum effect. The pectin will remove any possible radioactive isotopes which can reek major havoc in even very small amounts from sources like dairy foods, iodine deficiency, and radon found in homes particularly basements and cellars. Wheat & Oak fiber have the remarkable ability to manufacture Butyric Acid which is a major fuel source for the cells of the colon.
Second, as for the inflammation, many folks have reported good results for UC by taking Turmeric. Turmeric is particularly powerful anti-inflammatory but also is one of the most broad-spectrum beneficial herbs on the planet.
Third, to increase the efficiency of probiotics, it is advised to predose w/ antibiotics herbs like Garlic, Oregano, Olive Leaf, Neem, Grapefruit seed. After killing gut pathogens w/ these herbs, this frees up the probiotics to "populate" the gut.
Speaking of gut flora, do be sure to get enough Vit-K rich foods like green foods like Spirullina, Chlorella, Wheat & Barely Grass. Many people are starting their day w/ "green smoothies". These vitamin K rich foods help the body manufacture probiotics naturally. FOS is also used as a pre-probiotic w/ good results.

Humic Acid
Since you are based in Thailand, I was hoping that you might be able to help me to source some of the suggested supplements to cure ulcerative colitis.
I am living in the North of Thailand, near to Chiang Mai but can easily order online if necessary.
I have read much about the mycobacterium paratuberculosis and it's potential cause of colitis/crohn's.
Diagnosed with UC 2 years ago, I would say its mild compared to others' stories. Thankfully!
I have managed to hold off all western medication thrown at me, and instead have worked with my diet to manage the condition. The best results I've had have been from correct food combining, which I follow very strictly.
However, although I'm now passing good stools for most the time, the inflammation still returns and causes pain and bleeding. In fact, fasting for a period of 2 weeks gave me the best results but I lost so much weight that I'm fearful of taking this route again. I'm already 6 kgs below my normal weight.
So, I'm hoping that an Humic acid/aloe vera approach may work to help kill MAP and alleviate symptoms. I feel that this approach with my current diet might just result in permanent healing.
I am, however, finding it difficult to source Humic acid in Thailand. Can you advise? I've ordered a liquid supplement containing Humic acid from Australia but I've read that the powder is preferred. Is it possible to source here in Thailand do you know?
Also, is there anything else that you would recommend that I take along side the Humic acid?
Thanks for your time

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I have acquired the Humic acid now. Bought in Australia and mailed over to Thailand. I have been taking 15 ml 2x/day along with aloe vera.
I had an immediate positive effect. In 2 days all bleeding stopped and by 1 week no more pus or mucous either. Good stools and regular.. note that I follow strict food combining principles so my stools were fairly good even before the introduction of Humic acid.
Addition benefit of the humic acid was a huge increase in energy levels. From day 1 I noticed the difference.
However, after almost 2 weeks, I now have external hemorrhoids. I'm wondering what to try to resolve this. I've actually been meaning to do aloe enemas as per Ted's recommended approach to UC but now that I'm ready to do this I'm worried about inserting the tube at the site of inflammation.
Ted, can you recommend anything? Perhaps aloe vera topically?
Thanks

I have had intestinal problems and I'm on month 7 for daily coconut oil and meat, haven't drank the coconut milk, but the meat helps with diarrhea in a lot of people and the oil doesn't tax the liver. It does make me a bit quesy when I first drink or eat the oil 3-5 tsp. at a time - but I take a couple papaya tabs and that calms it down. Coconut products are truly AMAZING for overall improved health. Betafood heals the gut too and I use a few tabs of it daily with my supplements. It heals the gallbladder and helps digest fats.

Blending or juicing in mornings (cabbage - carrots - cucumber - apple) - taking a very good probiotic everyday - taking garlic gel cap everyday - taking multivitamin - drinking 2-3 tablespoons flaxseed oil everyday. Regimen above has helped me tremendously!!! Hope it helps u or someone!! Have blessed day!
