Well...

Things have actually been going pretty well. Haven't seen blood in a while. Didn't start the medicine yet. But I did up the VSL to 4 packs day. Really expensive :(
So here is what I have been doing:
1. Diet - Following Dr Furhman's autoimmune protocol for IBD- slowly added back a small amount of fruit and some beans in soup, green juice twice a day
2. supplements-
Gentle Care multivitamin (without vit A or folic acid)
Iron- I'm still low
Zyflamend - anti-inflammatory (turmeric)
High dose EPA (fish oil)- immune suppressant
Four packs of VSL - probiotoc
Primal defense- probiotic
3. fasting- completed one 4.5 day. I plan to do 3-4 days a month

Doing these things has made 99% of my symptoms disappear. I can't say 100% because even though I can't see the blood, it may still be there. Also, I still don't feel "right". It's subtle, and then again, maybe I am just paying too much attention to bathroom events.
