I have uc, but I take a good probiotic and digestive enzymes you can get at a healh food store. I changed my diet. Looked into Greattastenopain.com or lay off of grains and gluten. Maybe ti will help you.

Hi Faith,
Why did you stop your meds? Weren't they working? I stopped mine after several were tried - each of them caused even more grief. Enzymes helped (taken with my biggest meal of the day). Staying away from things that are known to cause flare-ups.For me eating a few spoonfuls of yogurt with a meal helps digestion. I avoid dairy & (read labels on everything to make sure it's not in anything) and I also watch the sugar intake especially from juices. (These seem to be my trigger to flares) Do you know if you have any certain foods that cause your pains to act up? It's important to keep a food diary so you can know what to avoid. Good luck to you... Stay healthy!

Sorry forgot the box again!

At one point my naturopathic doctor put me on Nutri-calm from Natures Sunshine, It worked great but my disease has progressed so badly that I have difficulty even swallowing it now. But it's a vitamin and contains herbs that specifically help the digestive system so you might find it helpful My hubby takes it even when he eats something that might upset his system.
Hope this helps

Two things really helped heal my stomach which the scope showed was flame red - The first thing was Manuka Honey. I bought it from a web site. The other thing was Aloe Vera Juice. I hope this helps you.

My son has been off meds, and virtually symptom free for over a year. He uses a good probiotic, Georges Aloe Vera juice, L -Glutamine, good multi vitamin, Boswellia, Omega (cod liver oil) capsules, tons of vitamin D (5000mg), vitamin C. We also follow a gluten free diet, which is becoming more and more like a paleo-diet (very few grains, tons of vegetables and fruit and lots of real meat).

Best wishes with your health.

Oh yeah, most importantlyI forgot that when he did have belly issues, we used ginger capsules (or tea) and peppermint capsules. No over the counter drugs, as they just tended to mask, not fix what he was experiencing when he had symptoms.

Nutri-calm from Nature Sunshine helped my discomfort and digestion at the same time. Hope this helps.
