Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you google vitamin e enema, you will get a ton of hits. They are mostly exact copies of the same set of directions. Do Here is a link: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=67345 The directions call for one enema per day, no specifics on any differences for kids. It is distilled water and vitamin E in a syringe, but it is very hard to work with the vitamin E. I found it very sticky and I also thought most of the vitamin E stayed behind in the syringe rather than get inserted. It did not mix well with the water at all. It sounds like this child is very sick right now, and if they can’t control rectal bleeding in a hospital, I don’t know how much good the vitamin E enema would be. Have the doctor’s talked at all about giving Humira a try? Some patients don’t do well on Remicade, but then do better on Humira. The Remicade and Humira are similar drugs, but apparently there are enough differences that some patients do well on one but not the other.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I tried the E- enema for my son who is in a mild flare for more than a month, and it is working. Besides that I tried to give him cabbage juice 4 oz 4 times a day. These two work together really help him a lot. I hope this information is helping. Here is the link for the cabbage juice: http://www.ehow.com/how_5033218_cure-ulcerative-colitis-cabbage-juice.html Frances Son 14yrs, UC, SCD 3-10 > > hi all > just got another call from friend in Az - in tears, remicade seems to not be working for 6 year old's colitis -and surgeon came in to discuss taking her colon - he's read btvc and made soup -ready to start - bleeding has gotten worse and i don't know if besides getting an alt. doc what he should do -start broth and vit E enemas while in hospital???? - just water and E in syringe right? how much for a kid? how often??/? > anyone please help > thanks > i did put him in touch with a pecanbread family who lived thru it - but anything/everything would be helpful > THANKS ALL > eileen > 2 1/2 years scd > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it more than once a day - maybe start with 500, move to 500 twice a day if it seems to help, etc. LDN also. Have they done prednisone just to get past the hump or not?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 THANKS - passed on all info -i pray something works soon- doc said " there's no scientific evidence that vit e will do anything " and made some comment about the scd soup - also she didn't respond good or bad to prednisone - he's asking about humira and ldn and seeking integrative doc THANKS AGAIN eileen > > > hi all > > just got another call from friend in Az - in tears, remicade seems to not be working for 6 year old's colitis -and surgeon came in to discuss taking her colon - he's read btvc and made soup -ready to start - bleeding has gotten worse and i don't know if besides getting an alt. doc what he should do -start broth > > and pureed easy veggies. > > > > and vit E enemas while in hospital???? - just water and E in syringe right? > > warm water to help unstick the sticky vitamin E. > > > > how much for a kid? how often??/? > > am not sure. it's up to 8000 IUs for an adult. kids weren't tested. > maybe start at 500IUs and move up from there slowly to 2000IUs? > You can do it more than once a day - maybe start with 500, move > to 500 twice a day if it seems to help, etc. > > LDN also. > > Have they done prednisone just to get past the hump or not? > > Mara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 just water and E in syringe right? how much for a kid? how often??/?I would start with maybe 1000 mg twice a day, since it's a little kid, and then work up to 4000? 8000? I'm not sure you can use TOO much, and if they're going to take her colon (!!) it seems like they don't have much to loose by trying it. They have my sympathy and prayers!
