Thanks for your reply! I appreciate hearing your story and insight.

I wanted to follow up to say that one week ago I started taking CurQD (Yellow Protocol) by Evinature.

I want to preface anything else by saying this is a supplement of Qing Dai (Indigo) and Cucurmin (the anti inflammatory found in turmeric) and it is not a prescribed medication. It was recommended to me by my GI doctor as something to try. Evinature does say that there are studies that back up their claims about its ability to help but these studies have been paid for by Evinature which delegitimizes them a bit because there could definitely be some bias. These can also be a bit pricey and as such not everyone can take advantage of them. I am not endorsing them and they aren’t paying me. This isn’t an ad. Everyone should do their own research.

This is my own personal experience so far.

One week in, it’s already made a difference. I used to have 5-8 bowel movements a day, they were mostly liquid, they were uncomfortable. And now I’m down to 1-2 solid BMs.

I didn’t want the anti-diarrheal (Imodium) that I was taking as a preventative every morning to interfere with the results so I’ve stopped taking it for now so I can gauge whether this is actually working or not and so far it has.

I believe in science and I believe in actual results. I don’t believe this is necessarily some sort of miracle drug. But things are moving in the right direction and, well, to be frank I could use a little hope. I’d be happy to update y’all as I go.

Howdy everyone. My name is David, a born and raised Hoosier still living in Indiana.

I was diagnosed with UC (proctitis) in March 2023, although I first started reporting issues with my GI tract in 2014. I’ve been on Mesalamine (both oral and supp.) since the diagnosis. I have another colonoscopy tomorrow to see if the meds have been working so fingers crossed!

Glad to see there’s a group here. I’ve gotten a lot of great information from the sister group on Reddit but much prefer the Fediverse.
