+ 2 UC (ulcerative colitis) suffer since 2008 looking for help age 34
Hello All,
I am new to this community and I am trying to learn more about HGH and Testosterone. Currently I am suffering on and off from UC and looking for some help. Trying to repair my gut lining between each flare has become impossible I read on a form that hgh can really help with this along with allowing a good nights sleep. I have not slept well in over 5 months. I am reaching out to doctors to help prescribe Anavar and HGH (Dont laugh I have read they have before in the past) but lately Doc's outside of TRT will not touch this stuff with a 10 foot pole. Currently I am unable to afford trt at 800-2300 a month so looking for a cheaper alternative. I have read that 2ui a day is the sweet spot can anyone shine some light on this. Especially if any fellow Chrons or UC are using hgh or test / Anavar

I use Mesalamine every-night before bed it does help a lot. I will try to find the Canasa and see if that is better.
Cool, thanks for the info.
3 words-
Super green shakes.
I stay away from fresh greens. I can only handled steamed/cooked veggies...
As soon as my gut heals I'm starting on those. Do you have a brand you prefer? Thanks.
Yes its the brand of fresh organic greens lol
You gotta buy the good fresh stuff and blend it yourself- not powder bro.
Just do a google search - best super greens or something like that.
Think broccoli, kale, zuchinni, brussels, even snow peas, green beans etc if u add in a couple of beets your liver will thank you further- and add a bit of water to help it mix.
LOLI keep saying the same thing.
That's what's coming out on the other side.
Either way ull probaly end up having a colectomy
:-( No I rather not. Doctors push Predizone on you until you lose your bone density and your body is a shrived mess of its former self than they go ahead and take out your stomach and replace it with a plastic bag.. then u have chrons and you find it was all for nothing.
Crohn is a different disease. Furthermore in UC docs do not use prednisone on a daily basis just for acute situations nd just until it is solved
Yes and No on the Crohn's section I know of 3 people that have had the surgery only to have Crohn's pop up the very next year after having what was suppose to be UC. It seems that UC/Crohn's have thousands of different strands/types many GI's I have talked to all say something different but imo they have no clue what they are doing. As to the Predizone yes they give it for acute flares but that cycle lasts usually 2-4 months to wing u off and if u flare once every year or every other year you are eating your bone density up. That's why Doc's constantly want to test bone density of UC patients
Anyway if it is that bad ull have u ll go through surgery
You should look for new docs u cant have a patient with prednisone 4 months per year. There are new treatments
Only new Treatments I have heard of are IV infusions like MP6 and Remicade.
What about monoclonal antibodies that are newer than Remicade. MP6 is not new at all.
I have not heard a GI even talk about Moncolnal antibodies. That is a Cancer research To target cancel cells
Remicade is a moniclonal antobody that targets TNF. Monoclonal antibodies are widely used in many diseases nowadays not just cancer. Remicade is actually a bit old. There are newer ones around
Then it was Crohn not UC and the pathologist and the endoscopist that examined you should look for a new job
Could not agree more.
AnonSounds stupid but add Ginger to your vitamin cabinet, it will help with discomfort but will not correct the issue.
Ginger has helped. I went from 3 stools a day down to 2 with ginger added
Bro.. Nothing sounds stupid to me anymore. I can give it a try.
If you don't have low t than you are better off avoiding trt
Ive got celiac myself, anavar fucks with my gut.
Read up on a peptide called bpc 157, supposed to be really good at healing the gut.
You can also try other peptides for small increase in hgh level. Ghrp6, or mk 577
BTW BPC-157 looks amazing for healing the gut why isn't this out now I need this
Im giving it a try, nothing noticeable as far as sides.
Good or bad, but gut healing is slow
Any Update CBBurrr ?? also are u drinking it to help heal your gut?
Please let me know if it helps
Hello CBBurr,
Thanks for the advice. I will look into bpc 157 and ghrp6. Is mk 577 a SARM ? Do you mean MK677 ?
I am looking to do blood work this week for test / free test and see what my IGF-1 is looking at.
Back in dec before this flare started I was at 700 test and 70 free test but I am sure due to the lack of sleep and my overall feeling I might be bottom near the 300's.
I've got UC and from my experience from many cycles...test will do absolutely nothing for the flare ups. I think you are wasting your time on the hgh, but hey to each his own.
Have you tried Canasa?
Also, I know it's a shitty road but you probably ought to run a heavy course of prednisone to get control of the flare.
When is the last time that you had a colonoscopy?
2 weeks using HGH and sleep has improved dramatically. My flare has been put on ice and now I am producing normal stools.
2013 Was the last time. I know i am due but I try to get by with a MRI in between since a colonoscopy causes more harm than good in my condition. LOL "Shitty road" could not have said it better myself. I have not tried Canasa. I have mainly used remicade/MP6/Predizone/Asacol -(Trash) / and Meslaimne - Not bad but u need to shove up your ass ever night......
Canasa is a Mesalamine suppository. I have UC and was off meds for about 10 years and just started back up with Lialda (basically asacol but only take it once a day) and Canasa. I am doing the Canasa EOD. In my experience try and stay away from oral steroids. I flare after a few weeks on orals everytime, granted this was when I was off meds. Injectables and HGH don't bother me but I also don't really see them helping with the UC much. Make sure you get regular colonoscopies so they can monitor your inflammation. I get one every 2 years, although I am over 40. Long term inflammation is the biggest risk with UC as this significantly raises the chance of colon cancer. This was the main reason I went back on the meds as although I would only have a slight flare once or twice a year, which would go away on its own without meds, I still had inflammation. If it can be totally removed that is a good thing. Other than that you just need to figure out a diet that works for you. I can eat pretty much anything when I am not flaring but what does seem to trigger a flare for me (other than oral steroids) is prolonged periods of bad sleep. I have also found that taking about 20 grams of Glutamine on an empty stomach first thing in the morning helps some during a flare.
I am having a hard time sleeping. i spend 9-10 hours in bed but only get 6 hours of sleep. I am doing a sleep study next week to see if they can find the cause. My instinct tells me that my normal IGF-1 is very low due to extended use of predizone over the years. If the sleep study come back without much info I am going to test my IGF-1 too bad insurance will not cover it unless the test is labeled as "necessary". I am getting so sick of hear that word.
I did the sleep study.... I was unable to sleep at all....... waste of time
