Just wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 16. At the time of the diagnosis I was taking exams and was very stressed. Stress is my main trigger. My dad also suffers from the condition but has been "cured" through homeopathy.
I'm now 28 and my diagnosis is now of Crohns as opposed to UC. I am generally against all types of allopathic (mainstream) medicine. I believe it only suppresses the issue and is harmful in the long term. Having said this, I have been forced to take certain medicines such as Prednisolone when having severe flareups.
I have been hospitalised twice due to my condition. The last time being the most severe (around 2 years ago now), I was in hospital for 8 days. I was emptying my bowels around 8 times a day, with blood. I was vomiting, had dramatic weight loss, loss of appetite, felt extremely weak and fatigued, etc.
I recognise that allopathic (mainstream) medicine has its place. I would not be here without it. But it is not IMO the way forward. I have tried many natural remedies such as: Manuka Honey, Nigella Sativa (Black Seed) Oil Capsules, Carcumin Capsules, Wheatgrass, Psyllium Husk and many more.
The latest thing I am currently about to try is Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide. I will start by taking it in spray form, spraying it on to the throat so it gets in to my lungs and spreads throughout my body. After this will start by taking drops in water. I have read that Hydrogen Peroxide creates large amounts of oxygen in the body, which then aids with healing of the ulcers.
So yes, that's my story so far... I have many many questions of my own which I will ask in due course!
