Well I was diagnosed with chronic
ulcerative colitis when I was 17, i'm 21
now and was symptom free at 19 and a half.
This condition really took a hold of my
life and it was extremely tough for me to
continue in sports and just to live life
in general. I took azacol (sp?) for a
while...Until I had an allergic reaction
to it which put me in the hospital.
After this, my doctor suggested I try
using a more herbal approach towards it.
I went on a regimen of two acidophilous
(sp?) pills, one fish body oils pill, two
multi-vitamins of my choice (flinstones
mmmm) and one pill for folic acid. After
about two months I started noticing
improvements and it had completely cleared
up within half a year. I guess what i'm
trying to say is fight through the pain,
stick with your doctors plan, and trust
that there is light at the end of the
tunnel, hell I beat it, so can others!
