Mastic Gum for Acute Colitis

I figured if it worked for Crohn’s it would probably work for UC. So I purchased a bottle and when my next flare up came along I took 2x 500mg capsules twice a day.

My CRP, a blood test measure of inflammation, dropped from around 115 to 15 in a week and was normal (< 3.0) another week later.

Beat Your Disease Interview About Ulcerative Colitis

This is an interview I had with some friends of mine named Vinny and Louis.  They have both known me for over 10 years(so that’s both before and after I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis).  And I’m hoping that it can give you some insight into my thoughts about living with UC and maybe help you out too. Thanks for watching, Adam
