Cure Colitis naturally?
Question:
I’ve also heard some particular foods: coconut water, papaya, flax oil, prim rose oil, peppermint tea, ect, are especially helpful.
I want to use Meditation to control stress, visualization to stimulate healing, hypnosis to help with dealing with colitis attacks, and regular exercise. (Three times a week, wraps, strength training, and kick boxing, with some biking in between days.)
Has anyone else tried this with positive results?
I've had UC for ten years now so I know all the basic info. I’ve heard and read countless approaches and tried them as well.
I'm not knocking anyone else’s ideas of treatments; I'm just looking for people who are trying an all natural approach right now.
Thanks!

An excellent reference on this subject: "Digestive Wellness" by Elizabeth LIpski. See also: Prescription For Natural Cures - Balch and Stengler.
It sounds like it's a good idea. It's a very similar diet to what jamacians eat and they look real good. I know one that is 68 years old and he eats fish, vegetables, and some fruit and he acts and looks like he is 19. He does have some wrinkles but he is always in the sun.
I know that there is a lot to say about how you combine the things that you eat. For example, if you eat fruits eat them away from your meals and don't combine sweet fruits with acidy fruits. For example kiwi (acidy) + banana (sweet). Also if you eat meats don't eat carbos instead eat salads. Salads should not be only salad but a combination of vegetables. Everything is digested differently by the stomach and intestines. The PH changes to digest what you eat. So when you mix certain foods you will always have an upset stomach.
Anyway it is simple but it takes learning a new way to enjoy alimentary food combinations. I suffered from colic for years until I started to use this system. With the first link being the global idea and the second more specific medical info...
Also water should be drank away from meals.
It looks like you're doing a good job, Cassie.
One thing I would add is the product IntestiNew made by Renew Life. It's a glutamine product with added ingredients. It works really well to rebuild the intestinal lining. If you can stop the ulcerative process by rebuilding a healthy intestinal lining, you're 90% of the way home.
I'd also take olive leaf extract for a couple months to get the yeast overgrowth under control. To reestablish the friendly bacteria, I'd use PB-8 or some other excellent probiotic.
Good luck and be well.

PS. I'd also start taking multi-enzymes...they could be a godsend to help break down the food you eat, putting less stress on your intestines.
I had colitis for years and I didn't like taking the medications that were prescribed. They didn't make me feel right so I did alot of research on healthy and natural cures for ulcerated colitis. I finally read about drinking fresh cabbage juice mixed with fresh carrot juice. I bought a juicer and made fresh cabbage juice and carrot juice (mixed together) I drank this twice a day for two weeks and my colon was healed. The Dr. was amazed. There is something in the cabbage juice that is a healer of ulcers. Cabbage juice really does work, but you have to drink it twice a day for two weeks. I know it sounds awful, but it is a healer of ulcerative colitis. Check it out on the internet and you'll see that it does work. Also, caffeine should be avoided.
Aloe Vera! it is the best thing you can put in your body, it is very healing for the digestive tract. buy a very good grade of pure aloe vera form a reputable healthfood store. Sometimes you will find it mixed with a berry juice or you can mix it yourself. I know a couple people who have reduced their symptoms to almost nothing after taking aloe for a few months. http://www.agelesscatalog.com/wiser3... sells their Aloe Gold for about $22 a bottle. it is extremely high grade pure product, concentrated for mixing with your favorite juice.
My husband has ulcerated colitis and he suffered it for many years, Last year he had such a horrible attack it landed him in the hospital for a week at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. I researched and researched and finally we found a natural miracle product. FRESH ROYAL JELLY you take it every morning before breakfast you can buy it at www.beeroyalproducts.com My husband started it and within a month when he returned for his 3rd colonoscopy the same doctors could not believe what they saw. It was healed and you could hardly see the liaisons. Contact them and ask them ,l spoke to the doctor on staff and what we did was take the dose of royal jelly 3 times a day for a month then went to two for another month and now maintenance with once a day. My husband has never had another bout and he eats regularly. I truly say this product has saved him. I rave about it to everyone in need of tru healing naturally. Good Luck I really hope you can start on the royal jelly and let me know how you are doing.
First, I'm very sorry to hear about your suffering from UC for so long. Kudos to you for looking into meditation and regular exercise for your stress!
If you haven't implemented the Acai Berry into your diet yet, I would definitely recommend it.
The Acai Berry's phytonutrients, among other phenomenal benefits, targets inflammation.
Historically, Brazilians have used acai berries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions. Acai berries are already considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants as well.
I hope this helps you. If you would like more information, my yahoo group - Mecredo Organics - can help you
Hi i no how you are feeling i have been stuck on steroids for nearly 2years and every time i get down to 4 steroids i have a bad flare up and have long stays in hospital. i have tried all of the medications available and they either didnt work or i had bad side effects from them and my consultant has now said the only option left is to have the op which i am totally against having as since i was diagnosed with this condition my confidance has been knocked without having this to deal with as well. I felt the same as you and turned to the natural approach and for 3 months now i have been taking aloe vera juice 3 times a day and also a herbal tablet called slippery elm bark which you take with your meal 3 times a day and i have already been able to reduce my steroids down to 2 steroids already with no flare ups. hope this helps
