Finding a reason to live is of paramount importance. Let's discuss.
Today I wanted to talk about finding a reason to exist, a reason to keep going. All while living with a chronic disease. Although this doesn't just extend to those suffering with chronic illness. I feel that a lot of people all over feel this way, I have for most of my life. So join me today and let's talk about it.

    They’re so many natural remedies you can do without any medication. I’ve seen several gastroenterologists and they didn’t help and just wanted to push all the drugs and/or remove my colon. Being disciplined and doing my own research has helped me tremendously to learn how to fix myself and stay into remission. Good luck to you 🙏

    A more natural and more effective long-term approach to Crohn's and Colitis than the standard medical treatment is presented in an excellent evidence-based book by Galina Kotlyar: Crohn’s and Colitis the Flare Stopper System: A Step-by-Step guide based on 30 years of Medical Research and Clinical Experience.

    Why do you think that IBD is incurable when there are many who have recovered. They have been on remission for years. Diet along with exercise and a healthy lifestyle are the medicines. It may take a while but patience and consistency is the key. Keep fighting . A positive mindset can also accelerate healing.

    Thank you Jake for sharing your ulcerative colitis story. My story was similar to yours in many ways. I also received inflectra while in the hospital, and within 12 hours I started to feel dramatically better. Two months later I was hiking and playing basketball again. But after the stressful Christmas Holidays, I experienced a minor flare. I haven't produced antibodies to inflectra, so I'm still receiving inflectra infusions. Thankfully, prednisone pills and mesalamine enemas put me back in remission. I'm a big fan of the liquid mesalamine enemas because they work directly on the inflammed tissue. My long term hope is to eventually replace inflectra with occasional hyperbaric oxygen treatments, and continue to use a maintenance treatment of mesalamine enemas. I think this would most safely treat the body both locally with the enemas, and entirely with the hyperbaric oxygen. We'll see! Anyway, I wish you continued good health!

    • @jacobsIBD

      I was shocked when my body was reacting to the IV so fast. From talking to others, they mentioned it could take weeks to start seeing any effects. You could always try altitude training in the mean time. It will have a similar effect to a hperbaric treatment. It's pretty much reduced oxygen whilst doing some cardio. It can increase your red blood cell count and help with recovery!

    Ahh brilliantly said Jake. Thank you so much for putting your experience with UC out there. You really don’t know how much you are appreciated here😅 Everything that you have described is what our son has been experiencing. The blood… oh my goodness… the blood and trying to provide a stool sample when it’s just liquid! Also the fear of not knowing what is causing the pain. So glad that you are doing well on the meds and healthy lifestyle. You look really well! Our son is being weaned from the prednisone by tapering down and has started a routine of Pentasa and Aza meds. He’s also been lifting weights and has gone back to playing tennis for the first time since last October 👍 Quite a journey!

      Thank you so much! I am happy my experiences can be of help. Hope your son is feeling ok. I know how rough prednisone can be. That's great he is been keeping active during this time!

    Hi, Jacob. You’re awful young. I’m sure this disease is very scary for you, as it is progressive. I’m 56 now. I had IBS in my 20’s and 30’s and progressed to IBD/colitis is my late 30’s early 40’s after getting a bout of altitude sickness that took well over a year to clear up. That’s when I got my first colonoscopy. I think at 36. I was officially diagnosed with colitis at 46. It is getting worse. I started on rectal Lialda, progressing to additional oral once a day to four times a day with steroids. Injected Humira didn’t work for me - after fistula diagnosis. I’m now on Renvoq. Been on this two weeks, so it’s undetermined if it’ll work. Honestly, I don’t know if people are really healing themselves. If they are, I don’t think it’s the same disease. I’ve tried everything. Not taking meds is risking further disease and cancer. I think best to take the meds - even tho I too would like to get off them. Biologics are scary. Maybe they’ll find a cure. Thanks for the videos. It’s nice to know what someone else is thinking/feeling.

      Hey thanks for the comment, glad you found the video helpful! There was some positive news recently regarding steps towards a potential cure so fingers crossed🤞. Can only focus on what’s best for ourselves in the mean time.

    Just done 12 days in the hospital, second time this year. Refused pred this time, that really is the bloody devil. did accept. Bude, at least I can sleep on this one. I’ve done all the diets in the world to fix it, vegan, flexitarian, fasting, fruitarian,,, fruitarian had the biggest success, but not sustainable going into the winter especially. But now on animal-based diet, which is basically fruit and meat. Getting great results, think I’ll be able to stick at this one. But it’s different for everybody, finding your own answer with this disease is a nightmare. good luck.

      The Budenofalk is that foam, they just started me on that. they're saying I had a 2000 reading in tests.. but I've been on animal diet for the last few months. Did you get any side effects from it

    I've been on remicade/inflectra since March 2023. This medicine worked miraculously on me, and saved my colon. I recently flared, but I have not developed antibodies to inflectra. My gastroenterologist said that sometimes inflectra doesn't reach the rectum. I share your concerns about the long term risks of staying on inflectra. As long as you're feeling healthy, perhaps its best to assess your inflectra routine on a yearly basis, or even every five years. And try not to worry too far into the future... And certainly try not to worry on a daily basis. (But of course stay as healthy as you can, which I know you will do!) Good luck!
