I use it in a powdered form
http://www.wheatgrass.com/t-nutritional-analysis-wheat-grass.aspx It is considered a food, even in this form, not a supplement, so that's why I tried it. As a vegetarian, I'm trying to get most of my nutrition from raw whole foods. If you have a problem eating raw veggies, this might be worth trying. A teaspoon in water is supposed to be more nutritious than a plate of spinach. Ideally, fresh juiced wheat grass is supposed to be the best, but I'm too lazy to grow it and juice it myself.

There was a a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial on wheat grass as a treatment for colitis and it turned out very well. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11989836 It seems to help me, but it is really hard to tell for sure because I've made a lot of changes in my diet lately.

Great, that is really helpful :) I am a vegetarian too but struggling to eat much of anything right now! After being in remission for quite a while I am struggling a lot this week. I have just looked up growing your own wheatgrass and it looks way too complicated, I can't keep a pot plant alive for more than a week so I think powdered form it is!

Thanks a lot

I forgot about frozen wheat grass shots. I'm not sure if they are better than the powder. I've used them in smoothies.

Thanks KewlB, I have bought some powder I will see how I go.

I was looking through other posts earlier and saw that you were on the specific carbohydrate diet? Were you a vegetarian at that time? I ruled it out as an option for me because I am a veggie, how did you do it?

I wasn't a veggie when I was on SCD. You really can't do it as a vegetarian. I ate mostly meat, fish, eggs, hard cheese, homemade yogurt and cooked veg. There's an initial phase of the diet that is really strict, all protein and no carbs or dairy, until diarrhea is under control. I think the diet stopped working for me because I developed a sensitivity to meat, eggs and dairy! LOL

I don't know what I'll do if I ever go into a bad flare, maybe only cooked veg? For now, I feel great eating.

... vegetarian.

Ah, thought as much. Hoped you might give me some secret tip on what to substitute all the chicken for! Never mind :) I am at a bit of a loss to be honest, not flared like this before. The last time I was really bad was before I was diagnosed so felt very different. I have a bucket load of herbal stuff on its way to me and I am mainly eating cooked veg and eggs. Back to the doctor on Monday and take it from there I guess.

Thanks for all the advice it is much appreciated
