Re: Garlic and UC - reactions?

[Guest guest]

I rotate garlic with some other natural antifungals. I either swallow a garlic

oil perle (I think Solgar is the brand I have), or I mince a clove of raw garlic

and slide it into a couple of gelatin capsules (I don't care for the taste, so

this helps). Either way, I swallow it right before I take my first bite of

dinner. Never had a problem with the garlic bothering me this way.

The further down the colon the bleeding is, the less this is a

problem - so it depends on where your ulcerations are.

I love garlic, eat it in every state all the time, added it back in

very early, have never had a problem with it.

But, you can't generalize from other's reactions, though you

may get some idea. Every reaction is individual.

Thanks everyone for your replies! It looks like I will have to try a little and

see.
