RE: sulfasalazine

[Guest guest]

sulfasalazine was highly recommended by elaine G. for IBD patients above all other drugs, and there was a protocol for implementing a desensitization program, starting with 1/4 or 1/8 of a tablet and increasing the dosage over time, it may still be posted at scdiet.org, or someone here probably has it.Stevecd 1973scd 1998

sulfasalazine is technically an NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug) It may have antibiotic properties too, I don't know. ( there is info on it on scdiet.org and other places on the web.)for me it worked well combined with scd, at least as well as a good probiotic, and it helped heal a fistula too.I was also on it way back the 70's but it didn't seem to help much then.Steve

There's another more extensive passage somewhere but can't recall where at the moment. Someone else might know it though.
