Hey all,

I ve tried Endocort for over a month and found it did nothing to
help me, I am currently trying Aloe Vera Juice and slippery elm
tablets so will post the results after a month to see if there is
any improvement. I have also changed my diet around and cut out all
sugars as I read that ppl with uc have a higher intake of refined
sugars and changed to eating 6 small meals a day to keep the amount
of food intake down at one time, also replaced most of the red meat
I eat with fruit or vegetables that have high protein so my iron
doesn't fall through.

I ve also got planned to give allot of natural meds a go to find
something that works as I want to try and leave the auto immune
drugs till last.

Its really getting under my skin, I ve been sick since December last
year and it's stopped my career and most of my social life as I
loved to do motorcycle days rides and tours and have to plan my days
around were a toilet is located.

Will keep posted, wish all of you the best luck

David
