One of the first alternative ideas I tried out when I got out of hospital apart from improving my Diet was Probiotics, there have been some proper clinical studies done in to how these can help ease Colitis Symptoms and  induce remission, the research is really very exciting. There was one study I read about that used just probiotics ulcerative colitis treatment – very strong ones and lots of them to induce remission in patients with a flare up and they worked ! There is also a study in which one brand of probiotic was used to maintain remission and worked as well as the drug Mesalazine. There’s lots of different types of probiotic such as Acidophillus and Bifidobacteria, and there are loads of different products out there, so its difficult to choose which one to use. I found out the brand which was used in several clinical trials with good results – because that seemed to be the best – and ordered some. Well the results were brilliant, I was on the mend from my big flare up of Ulcerative Colitis(Colitus) but I was still pooing 3-4 times a day and things were still pretty loose. Within 2 days of starting the probiotics my stools were suddenly well formed – like normal poo and the frequency went down to 1-2 times a day ! Wow – I was amazed and very pleased to have found something that wasn’t a drug that was helping to make my Colitis go away. In fact my only other flare up since happened at a time just after I stopped taking probiotics. Probiotics work to rebuild the good bacteria in your guts, which in Colitis are often struggling against the bad bacteria. They also have an anti-inflammatory effect which is really good because after all Colitis is literally inflammation of the colon. Another benefit is that Probiotics help to heal a leaky gut which could be one of the causes behind Ulcerative Colitis. I just can’t understand why these Probiotics aren’t being prescribed by Doctors because they really Do WORK ! The best Probiotic for Ulcerative Colitis sufferers and the one I still use today is called VSL-3, it has over 450 billion bacteria per dose and has the following strains of probiotic in it – Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacteria breve, Bifidobacteria longum, Bifidobacteria infantis. It really is the best one avaliable and has been tested several times in proper clinical trials and has proved to be very effective. I take a sachet every day and I can’t recommend it highly enough, find out more about VSL-3 click here and then click the probiotics link on the left had side. If you want to read more there is also an excellent book on Probiotics and Ulcerative Colitis here.
