,There is info in the files section regarding yeast elimination. Some medicines (Diflucan and Nystatin) need a Rx, but things like grapefruit seed extract, oil of oregano, s. boulardii do not and can be purchasedonline or at a good health food store.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 20 months LDN 3 mgTo:

Are these over the counter meds? Any info I can read about for the yeast elimination diet?-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD@yahoogroup s.comFrom: alcibiades (AT) rcn (DOT) comDate: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:55:14 -0500Subject: Re: Re: Those with UC, what probiotics do you take when you can't have yogurt?

I'm getting better FINALLY. Thanks for asking! I ended up going back on prednisone, hydrocortisone, and 12 pills a day of asacol. The flare from these antibiotics just would not stop without all the drugs. This same antibiotics from strep throat is what triggered my UC in the first place so maybe that's why it's so bad. My plan is to get past this flare, get off the roids, and then try the opposite (immune boosters) instead of things that bring my system down. Gonna try S. Boullardi and LDN

eventually. We'll see how it goes!I wonder if you were having an overgrowth of yeast and that was stopping you fromgetting over the flare. In any case, after the roids and before the LDN - and even the s. boulardii - you probably should consider doing a yeast elimination diet and medication duo, becausethe antibiotics are likely to help the yeast surge and so are the 'roids.
