Probiotics

Renew Life Colon Care Formula has made a noticeable difference for me in my recovery from IBD. This formula is free of FOS, a prebiotic which is off limits in the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

Turmeric/Curcumin: This spice is a miracle as far as I’m concerned.

A powerful anti-inflammatory, curcumin (one of the most clinically studied components of turmeric) has been key in lowering inflammation in my body. Bleeding due to IBD has stopped. Joint pain has greatly diminished. Pyoderma Gangrenosum, horrible, painful skin lesions that are an autoimmune complication of IBD, are almost fully healed.

Again, YMMV. For me, Terry Naturally Curamin, Extra Strength has helped. It took probably a couple of months for it to kick in. I’ve talked to others who have had immediate relief with it. We are all unique.

Megafood Daily Tumeric powder is blended with Piperine, a black pepper extract that helps absorption. I found this seemed to kick in faster, but that might just be me. I continue to take this and Curamin daily. My goal is to take 2-3 grams of curcumin per day.

Boswellia: Another anti-inflammatory powerhouse, Boswellia is included in

Terry Naturally Curamin, Extra Strength.

Ginger: A great anti-inflammatory, ginger is a delicious addition to food. You can supplement with it, as well, though I have not . . . yet.

At least as comfortable as possible…

 Their motto is “Live life comfortably,” and I like it. Living with serious illness is tough enough, and it’s often difficult to get anywhere near comfortable. 

I love my new recliner and only wish I’d discovered it before.
