Re: vitamin e enema diet update

hi again! that's a fantastic story. there's something to this for sure. i am now keeping a food journal to see what is triggering these symptoms. you can print one out at livingwithuc.com! one interesting thing i will share is i read yesterday that the NIH (national institute of health) is doing a big study of probiotics and how they are realizing the benefits of it's use for uc. my diet has been going quite well although i have added a few things that aren't on sheldon's list. but as he says, 'it's a recipe not a prescription' so you have to go with what you know you can tolerate safely. one thing i will share that happened today that i thought was quite odd. i drank about 3/4 cup of kefir, which i have never had but heard wonderful things about, and within ten min. had to run to the restroom. the stool at first was pretty runny then suddenly i experienced another cramp and (sorry for the graphics but we are all trying to learn from each other), and out came probably an eight inch long formed stool. i was shocked!!! hardly any blood at all either. this is telling me that sheldon's regime definately works. to be continued........
