Hello, I have been a UC sufferer for ten years now and I have had a total of three flare up (I feel lucky some how). I have tried taking meds and they seem to make me feel worst than not taking them. The meds if you are asking was pentasa and I can't remember the mg, but I was taking 4 pills 4 times a day. I would feel tired and constipated. Also I could not afford them b/c my insurance did not cover name brand and there is no generic form of pentasa.
So this is the trying something new part. A few weeks ago I went to visit my parents and they are all into trying to treat there problems with natural remedies. So they were trying Diatomaceous Earth - food grade (D.E.)
D.E. is composed of dead skeletons of diatoms and it has many uses. I really don't want to go into the specifics b/c there is a long list it is used for. The only thing I can tell you is that it is use for removing parasites and other bad stuff that is in your gut.
So, I started using a teaspoon with a small glass of water a day with a empty stomach about two weeks ago.
In the first week I noticed a change b/c my stool was a different color than the usual. Though my stomach ached and I felt full all the time. The place where my ulcer was in my colon just hurt.
In the second week I had the same results, but I have notice is I eat something that doesn't agree with me (like if it was before I had UC) I would have straight up diarrhea and all of it came out. During UC if I ate something that didn't agree with me I would feel horrible for days b/c not all would come out. Also I was in the middle of the second week and was about to give up, but I asked my parents their symptoms and they were similar to mine (though I think mine were worst).
So now I am going into the third week and I will post more if anybody want's to know more.
