Ulcerative Colitis Preventing Me From Gaining Weight, Please Help!

Posted by Haley (Tx) on 05/19/2016

I need help, I don't know what to do anymore, I feel so weak and depressed, I wake up and cry, I keep losing weight, I don't really eat because I don't feel hungry, I've had UC since 2007. I am 26 years old, I take humira every other week and I am on lialda and uceris, I weigh 89 lbs and I can't seem to find anything that works for me except prednisone and I'm not even on that yet because I'm waiting for my dr to let me know if she even wants me on it, I can't eat raw fruits or vegetables, I'm on a lactose free and low fiber diet, no nuts seeds or anything, what do I do?? I have 2 kids and I just really want to be strong for them..

Hi Haley,

Try EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil). I buy mine online cheapest (Natures Way brand). Kroger also carries it for a few dollars more. It has a lot of "good for you" calories that give you energy. To read of all of the benefits, do a search of it here on E.C. and on Google.

I'm on a low fiber diet also, and share your pain. It sucks. I have been drinking a lot of low fiber juices. A favorite is carrot juice from Bolthouse Farms. Soooooo delicious, and nutritious! I am buying a juicer so I can juice my own and hopefully save a few bucks.

Keep on reading, and hang in there....good luck to you.

Haley. I lost my lower intestine to a mystery. I never received a real diagnosis. But the most recent research is pointing to vitamin d3 at 10,000 iu a day minimum. We all have been blocking the sun to our detriment. Dr. Michael Hollick has great info on you tube to understand how this is an underutilized therapy for many issues. I began taking it myself it has been life changing. Important note take in am with some full fat I take organic butter off a spoon. Take the brand that has the safest ingredients NOW brand or Solaray bio d3 with coconut oil are bioavailable and contain no unwanted safflower oil.

To increase appetite and weight low b vitamins are often the culprit. B50. Really helps taken every day for a few days then when appetite returns just 2 or 3 times a week. Thiamine mononitrate is the b1 you want to check for in the b50 Jarrow sells one as does Swanson. That form of thiamine does not upset the stomach which is the problem of multi bs. as other forms of thiamine have a strong smell and can upset your tummy.

2 tablespoons of lecithin a day day will clean your liver of toxins and excess fats to optimize your gut health and will further promote your gut healing can be off the spoon or in food it does not taste good, Ted says do not use capsule form. These 3 things will get your gut working and eliminate toxins to optimize healing you should see positive results in 3 days. So you can judge if this is your path. The initial investment from online purchase should be about $30 to $35.

Now if you have a little extra $ I would invest in extra b6 as p5p as that taken with each meal optimizes digestion and heals the gut 1 taken at the beginning of each meal. Bromelain (affordable at Swanson) the same, the enzyme that is from pineapple. These two really work hard within the digestive tract. The enzymes I would suggest should contain the full protein digesting spectrum which includes hcl oxbile as you will then begin to gain nutrients from your food. Take 1/4 tsp of baking soda in water 2x a day 1/2 hour after 2 meals to get gallbladder help by providing the bicarbonate it needs to further eliminate toxins and improve digestion and circulation. The no no list of foods you must stop eating are gluten better yet all grains if you can, all vegetable oils, eat only full fats, butter and coconut oil for cooking. No fried foods, no Aspertame, GMOS,, no table salt ever, sea salt only. Sodium chloride Table salt affects blood pressure and digestion negatively. You should buy magnesium and use it magnesium citrate 250 to 500mg 2x a day as it is needed in all digestion. If you have a more runny stool then buy magnesium malate. Other considerations are Bill Thompson's iodine supplementation, selenium yeast. I also learned about parasites, the weight loss points to it. Then wormwood is great if you can add black walnut even better. Wormwood really soothes my gut and is anti cancer. On low days I take 2 and feel so much better. Another great thrapy that makes me feel better I use Bills turpentine methods and I blend a ball jar of raw honey and turpentine according to herbsplusbeadworks.com on you tube, but that is for when you begin to feel better. Ted's recommendations for standard supplementation vitamin c as sodium ascorbate in powder form. A gram or 2 a day. 1/4tsp of sea salt in a bottle of water provides much needed minerals to entire body and is a quick fix for feeling dumpy to offsetting a cold or virus. 3 to 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide in a bottle of water is the same. I buy store brand that only have purified water as the only other ingredient, I pour a little in a clear glass look at it in sunlight if there are colored streaks it is not safe if clear it is safe, until you can buy food grade 3% h202.

The other therapy that is proven to help depending on your circumstances is cannabis oil as it really heals most modern day illnesses and improves most health issues.

I know too much info, take it with small bites and everything I have written about is mostly on ted.earthclinic or in Bill Thompson's info here on earth clinics main pages. Janet

P.S. look up fat bombs on pinterest or Facebook as the really help everything along. Bulletproof coffee is great too, the collagen is amazing.

Dear Haley from Texas,

My son of 24years almost lost his life because of severe ulcerative colitis that he got 3 months ago. He is completely 100 percent cured by the research I did on the condition. First of all it is my belief that most diseases are inflammation related.

I put him on 3 capsules of organic turmeric morning and night. The 2nd thing I put him on was a mineral and vitamin natural product that helps the body to heal itself. The third thing I got him to take was 1 spoon of black seed cumin oil -- 1 teaspoon in the morning and another at night. I kid you not -- he was completely cured in 5 days. Nausea, bleeding gone. Energy back. Appetite back. Gained 40 lbs. he had lost. Please feel free to contact me so I can tell you the sites where I got the mineral/vitamin product from and the black seed oil from -- very important you get them from a reputable site. God bless.
