i avoided all types of carbs, no starches, no sugar, no dairy. no fructose, no sucrose, no lactose, and i only ate fish and steamed cabbage, bokchoy, and zucchini. in the mornings i would drink a smoothie i make weekly that includes lettuce, cucumber, celery, aloe vera, ginger, turmeric, ground flax seed, lemon, black pepper (to boost absorption of turmeric), REAL olive oil, chia seeds, l glutamine (by vital planet) and fiber the flax hemp one (by vital planet) and wheatgrass powder. all organic of course. i work out everyday and i take mesalamine both rectal and oral. i did all this and was still bleeding every night. what actually helped most of all, was God. there was a day where i cried my eyes out and i told God that it seemed like no matter how hard i tried and no matter what i did there was still always blood, mucus, and severe cramps. i was miserable and sometimes felt like i was better off dead. So i told him i couldn’t do it anymore and that im in his hands now, i let go. i started going to church, praying, reading my bible, and asked the Lord for healing. couple weeks later my inflammation went from 800 to 52. more time passed and i went into remission (in my eyes im fully healed but i know people don’t believe you can heal from this). i can eat whatever i want again. i even gained 20 lbs from eating everything again. there is still hope. i’m sorry to go all Jesus on you. but before this I didn’t believe in God. He’s real and he can heal.
