Neither wind nor rain nor ibd joint pain…
I have ulcerative Colitis and started using this product after reading some "shows promise" studies about how it can possibly help heal the gut mucosa in ibd. I was on steroids for a flare at the time I started using it, and had severe joint problems to the point of being barely able to walk. I was even going to physical therapy at the time. Soon after I started taking this product regularly (a week or two), my joint pain began to subside significantly (my knees and hips) in spite of the steroids I was still on, and I was able to join a gym and begin to regain my pre-flare strength. I also saw improvement in my bowel symptoms though that was not quite so dramatic as what I saw in my joints - the steroids mask a lot of course. Now that I am off the 'roids, I am hopeful that this in addition to other supplementation (VSL#3, a variety of vitamins and minerals) will help keep me that way. And oh by the way - my joints are operating at 99% now doing HIIT training at the gym (great gains) and ballroom dancing and horseback riding!
