Since that meeting I have had not one flare up and pain free. I take it twice per day.

When I was diagnosed a few months a go, it was through a cat scan but I was put in the hospital for 4 days on IV antibiotics and then sent home with 2 weeks worth. I was on a full liquid diet for a few days, and then slowly introduced food. I've learned what foods I need to stay away from (seeds, nuts, corn, fried and greasy foods). Others say they can eat whatever they want without a flair up. It's trial and error. I do drink a lot of water and that helps. Stress plays havoc on me so I'm learning meditation practices. Find a good GI you like! Good luck to you! It is manageable, so keep your chin up!

Good luck Ron. My GI told me I should have surgery as well if I have another flair up. I'm hoping that is not for a long time. I'm pretty picky about what I eat, I keep a food journal and keep things on the bland side. I do take a probiotic as well. I hope you get answers soon - keep us posted.

Have you taken probiotics to restore the good bacteria after taken antibiotics. Also Aloe Vera drink will not work, you need to try aloe vera juice or gel. Get 100% good quality kind.

When I was diagnoised with DD I had the same pain and was discovered through a cat-scan. A liquid diet is great to do from time to time to give your system a rest. Aloe vera juice or gel has worked great with me and intestinal healing herbs with lots of water. The jelly like brown may be old blood that has come out of the pockets in the DD area. When it comes to food we are all different and you have to try different things and see how it makes you feel to determined. With me I do the best with vegetarian diet and a little meat twice a month. Hope this helps.

"jelly like a dark brown" is most likely blood clots. You should mention this to your doctor. In my case it was a indication that the bleeding had stopped.
