Re: Where i'm planning on going from here, any suggestions? Improvements to my plan?

, do you think you could have candida? I am thinking you might have a

biofilm problem. Please don't throw in the towel. I have had lots of

regressions (I think most people do) and I always come out on the other side of

them.

> Just wanted to put this out there for any suggestions on what you would

change/do differently. I'm still flaring though not as bad from 2 months ago

when I was forced to take the same antibiotics that got me here in the first

place. I've tried intro diet and i've gone as far as eating nothing but water

and chicken/beef (not ground) for 3 days at a time with no change except going

less because I couldn't eat enough. Ive lost too much weight to keep trying

that, so i've kept the honey cut out 100% and am eating mostly meat, eggs, and

very diluted grape juice. I can't seem to find a connection with what i'm eating

vs how well I feel. It all depends on the medication or the day and it seems

random. I will get better for a few days, then go backwards. I think this is

because I am not using the steroids every night since I don't have enough to

last me until I get health insurance again (next month). I got S. boullardi and

I am going to try that once I am out of the steroids along with some Rowasa

enemas with the Asacol I am currently taking. I have a feeling if I could take

the full dose of asacol i'd be doing better but I don't have enough of it so I

had to ration it.

> Once I get the insurance back I am going to ask the doc to switch me to

Colazol since i've read posts from Elaine that Colazol helps to keep the

bacterial population in check while asacol does not. I'm assuming Colazol is

sulfa free? (i'm allergic to sulfa drugs) On top of the colazol I plan on taking

Diflucan for 3 weeks and starting LDN at this time. Hopefully it works. If not,

i'm considering throwing in the towel and just enjoying my life while I can.
