Here is my story:
I used to go to the bathroom 1 time a day.
Started having diarrhea overnight. Ending up going to the bathroom 2-4 times a day with urgency.
This went on for about 1 year as I hoped my body would heal itself and it never did.
Went to a doctor and got a colonoscopy. He said my entire lower intestine was inflamed except the bottom part (I read this is usually crohns colitis, but who really knows). I am prescribed Lialda 2x.
After the colonoscopy I am going 20x a day. I lose 20 pounds in about 1 months time.
I start taking these supplements:
I avoid these foods:
Cabbage may also help.
I now go to the bathroom 1-2 times a day without urgency. Unfortunately this means I did not achieve remission (it used to be 1 a day), but it is a huge improvement in my quality of life and I just wanted to write this here in case there is anyone else like me out there that this might help.

I start taking these supplements:
- Udo's Super 8 Probotic - I read some forum post where a girl was sick and she took this along with high doses of Flagyl and Nancy's yogurt to cure herself.
- Vitamin D - I saw a study that this helps.
- Florestor Probiotic - I saw a study of people going into remission by taking 3 of these a day.
- Krill Oil - Everest brand (it is supposed to have the most).
- Centerium multivitamin - I do not know if these help, but I wanted to list everything I take.
- Vitamin C - I do not know if these help, but I wanted to list everything I take.
- Vitamin E - I do not know if these help, but I wanted to list everything I take.
I avoid these foods:
- milk
- Spicy Food
