Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 hopefully you are off dairy - that can really flare up UC. probiotics can make a huge difference. have you seen an allergist? it's believed now that many cases of UC result from undiagnosed allergies. maybe check out NAET for this. also, make sure to get your omega-3's - they are essential for bowel health. you might check out the book " self-healing colitis and crohn's " by david klein - he advocates a vegan diet to cure UC and a lot of people have had good results with it at least going into remission when they switch to a vegan diet. chamomile and aloe vera are useful herbs to help calm inflammation, and the ayurvedic herb boswelia has been extremely useful for a lot of people, if you can find it. that's all i can think of off the top of my head. chandelle' student midwife and mama to isaiah, 21 months, and willow, 5 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
