Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 If I'm coming off the intro (for the second time). Would anyone tell me what they think I should look into? I see lots of reference to supplements and don't know where I should start. I take cod liver oil but that's it. I've been reading on LDN. Should I try S. Boulardii? I'm confused and need guidance. I have sucky insurance and a useless gastro. I went to a natural doc but he wanted me to take probiotics with FOS (swore they would help me) and he wanted me to take aloe. You're who I rely on. And I'm not sure if I should go back on the asacol. I think it was helping or was it the diet? Now I'm off the asacol after a couple months and I and major C. But maybe that was me introducing almond flour and eating too much bread too soon.Thanks for any advice,UC 12/09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey , I've been on the diet almost a year and went from D to C several times around. People told me the diet is sort of up and down in the first year, and it is for me, with steady improvement over time, thankfully. I found that increasing fruit and vegetables helps with the C, but too much makes things mushy. Kind of a balance here. I love the yogurt, and you should not need a supplemental probiotic with it, except acidophilus if you use GI prostart. I do use LDN and sulfasalazine. Add more cooked fruit and veggies to see if that will help. Go slowly with any new food. I never really used a lot of nut flour products, and nut butters are easier to tolerate. I still rely on bone broth soups to soothe the gut. I think by sticking with the diet and just hanging in through the cycles, things will hopefully improve. I do notice that I feel a lot better at a year than at 6 months. It is a long term commitment.
