A nono from the doc!

Doc says a big NO to taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It seems like it may aggravate the problem for those with UC. This includes Aleve, ibuprofen and others like it. I don't like taking painkillers anyways unless I absolutely have to. Maybe I just have dull nerves!

Probiotic yogurt etc.

My doctor recommended I eat probiotic yogurt and other such products. Anything would help me at this point. He also suggested Accuflora like I wrote about previously. A pill is ok but I really prefer solid foods for this kind of thing, like most people. Kefir tastes great, it is kind of strong but mixes well with my protein powder.
