Both Dr. John R.Christopher and Barbara O'Neill recommend cayenne pepper in warm water for internal bleeding. You can find it in capsule form in addition to powder form. Start small in dosage. 1/8 to 1/4 tsp or one capsule.
You may want to add un-sulfered black strap molasses for iron as well as gentle nutrition as you body works at healing
Search engine either of their names and include internal bleeding for many useful sites. Dr. Christopher's work is recommended as Editors Choice here on EarthClinic

Have you tried the blackstrap molasses and baking soda cure? It is my go to when bleeding is involved.
I just warm a cup of water; add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of baking soda and sometimes a squeeze of lemon juice. The Blackstrap molasses also helps replenish body Iron levels.
I usually stick with it a week or until I get results. However, some have done this much longer. Just watch your blood sugar. I would also take a Rutin 500mg supplement.
Keep testing out the EC remedies on the remedies page. Avoid what you are allergic to.

You said whenever you sneeze you bleed, that means the bleeding is not controlled if a sneeze can trigger it. The slippery elm can help protect bleeding lesions from acid to help them heal. It is not meant to be used indefinitely, but long enough to calm your system and allow healing. The Monolaurin can start to eradicate the offending bacteria and or viral pathogens.

It's Madelyn again. I was doing a little more reading about the nicotine patches. The Rugby 14 mg nicotine patches are available online from Amazon.
They are recommended as the purest brand with least additives. It's also recommended to start with a lower dose, such as 3.5mg. You can cut the 14mg patch into 4 equal parts. Place the patch on your upper arm or somewhere you're comfortable with and wear it for 24 hours. Replace with another 3.5mg patch for another 24 hours. After those 2 days, if you're feeling ok you will want to up the dose to 7mg per 24 hours.
If you feel you are detoxing too quickly, you can remove the patch and wait for a bit and then try again later.
another note-experiments have shown that even when the nicotine patch is only worn for a week or sometimes less, the body continues healing for the next couple of weeks and sometimes it's at that point you feel recovered. It basically takes that time for the immune system to work its magic :)

Turmeric
★★★★☆
I use the bulk organic turmeric from iherb and fill double 00 capsules, I found this as good if not better than the extract tablets and a lot cheaper too. [Do use disposable gloves whilst filling the capsules or you'll end up with yellow fingers! ]'
I take two of these capsules with every meal and have found this suits me. A few times I tried to cut down the doses but the symptoms started to re-appear, so I've pretty much kept to the same dosage for years now, with NO side effects.
I hope that other people with the same awful problem will find this useful.
Best wishes, Angela.
Ted's Remedies
Tried everything. Really could not leave my house. I finally found relief. It was in Teds remedies here on E.C.
DHEA and Melatonin. The high dose DHEA and Melatonin reset everything. I had been so exhausted from it all. A real miracle.
50mg DHEA in the am 5mg Melatonin at bedtime. I was better the first day. Normal by the second. This is based on 130lb person for the Dhea. I think the melatonin is fine at 5 mg, my husband is much larger than I and we only upped his DHEA.
I stayed on it for 5 days. I honestly thought it was some fluke, for $15 and a little faith the horrible could be overcome.
I now take DHEA 2 or 3 x a month and melatonin a few days a week. Janet
Humic Acid

I found your article on this website. I have been using humic acid 3 months. It cured my UC. As far as I can see that people can not find Humic acid on the web. I would like to suggest 2 website link. People can find them. Thank you so much, this has changed my life!

2. website (expensive)
Baking Soda
★★★★★
Remember that it doesn't matter what the food's ph is or what it tastes like that determines whether or not it has an alkaline or acid effect on the body. For eg., after digestion, citrus fruits are alkaline forming in the body and animal products are acid forming.

I also take a probiotic once a day, 5mg metamucil at dinner and 25mg aloe juice first thing in the morning, but I've been taking those for awhile and although they help, I don't believe they resonsible for this major improvement.
It should be noted that my UC is so bad that traditional medicine has not been effective at keeping me in remission and my doctor said if I have another flare I have to have surgery. L-Glutamine may just save me yet.

L-Glutamine
★★★★★
The premise of how it works is that when you have impaired digestion, your body doesn't break down proteins efficiently causing you to become deficient in amino acids. L-Glutamine is the amino acid necessary for rebuilding you intestinal wall which sheds itself every 5 days or so? and without that amino acid becomes damaged. By giving yourself pure form, in liquid (requiring no digestion of pills etc) you give your intestines what it needs to make a healthy lining. It was really mad at the time that something so simple recommended by a nutritionist of all people cured my colitis when I had spent huge $$$ seeing naturopathic Dr's, chinese herbalists and acupuncturists, some of which helped temporarily but the L-glutamine was the magic ticket for me.
It took a lot longer for my digestion to return to normal but the L-glutamine totally took care of my diarrhea, spasms and bleeding in 3w of faithfully drinking it every morning.
I just wanted to mention to be wary of psyllium fiber. The first ND I tried gave me a supplement so close to the one that worked but it made me worse and I know now that I can't take psyllium fiber AT ALL, but I can handle the flax fiber in this drink. And I also discovered that multi-vitamins cause me to bleed. I can only take whole food vitamins. Two things you might want to watch out for.

Slippery elm kick-started my return to good colonic health. After enduring several years of extreme colitis symptoms I spent a whole week without food except for a teaspoonful of slippery elm powder mashed with banana. It can be mixed with water but it is a bit of an art. I preferred the banana method.
This was taken first thing in the morning and again in the evening before bed. Sipping only water all day, taking hot baths and lots of rest. Going to bed no later than 9 or 10 O'clock ensured that my colon had plenty of opportunity to heal itself.
The first 4 days were spent feeling weak and lethargic but I feel that it was my body busy repairing itself. By day 7 I was symptom free. From then on it was a matter of avoiding harmful food and drinks and generally living a less stressful and abusive lifestyle.
The slippery elm powder I am convinced gave me the encouraging cure start that I needed.

Germinated Barley (Mai Ya)
★★★★★
There have been studies done on GBF that show it reduces clinical activity and mucosal inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis. I know that every time I have gone into remission, I've started taking this supplement. I recently had another flare, which was getting progressively worse, but as soon as I started taking Mai Ya, the urgency decreased, and is decreasing day by day. Just for clarification, Mai Ya is the Chinese herb that, I think, corresponds directly to Germinated Barley Foodstuff, on which the studies were done. I've been taking two grams twice daily (one gram of the supplement equals 10 grams of the bulk herbs.)

I have settled at the moment for a 18/6 system, where I fast 18 hours and eat 6. It's very doable. And I did start with a two day fast (some of it was dry fasting to give my pancreas a break). Fasting is really quite magical, once you accept the challenge, and it does not require anything but rest. Keep us posted!

Colitis is generally caused by a bacterial or viral infection so the use of a potent antimicrobial such as Monolaurin can be useful. Since you have bleeding, going to the hospital to get that controlled as quickly as possible seems safer than just trying remedies as they are mentioned to you. Here is a link to a typical product :
https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Cure-Labs-Premium-Monolaurin/dp/B017RHHEVG
You are here on EC looking for a remedy, so the hospital does not sound like you are considering it as an option?
It would be helpful to consider Slippery Elm to help protect the gut and intestinal tract and stomach lining since you say individual things can worsen your condition and bleeding. The slippery elm acts as a slime that coats and protects the gut. Here is a typical slippery elm product :
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Slippery-Elm-400mg-Capsules/dp/B0014UFVBI/
There are mainly animal studies to suggest that both of these supplements will be useful for issues such as colitis. Here is a link to one study suggesting that monolaurin may be useful for mice with colitis :
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' We showed that oral administration of GML ameliorated DSS-induced colitis by inhibiting infiltration of Th17 cells, Neutrophils, and Macrophages, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier and altered the abundance of commensal bacterium. This study provides new insights into the biological function and therapeutic potential of GML in the treatment of IBD.'
Regarding Slippery Elm and colitis the following link takes you to a Mount Sinai article discussing the effects of slippery elm in humans :
https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/herb/slippery-elm
Here are two relevant quotes from the article :
' Slippery elm contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a slick gel when mixed with water. It coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines. It also contains antioxidants that help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions. Slippery elm causes reflux stimulation of nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract leading to increased mucus secretion. The increased mucus production may protect the gastrointestinal tract against ulcers and excess acidity.'
' Slippery elm is not known to have serious side effects. Because it coats the digestive tract, it may slow down the absorption of other drugs or herbs. You should take slippery elm 2 hours before or after other herbs or medications you may be taking. '
It may be useful to try the slippery elm first to try and calm things down before considering the monolaurin to actively act as a potent antimicrobial.
I highly recommend you see a doctor because of the serious nature of your condition as well as the almost constant bleeding which both can cause other serious health issues such as anemia or colon cancer. I'm not trying to scare you, but I do want you to be aware of the risks inherent in bleeding colitis.
Please keep us updated on how you do.

I moved to America in early 2005 and immediately started having problems with my GI tract. Stomach cramps, frequent bathroom visits and weight loss were all symptoms. In a bad day I would use the bathroom 20 times. After 6 months I returned home to Ireland and saw a GI specialist who tested me and said I had IBS and to watch what I eat and learn to live with it. Over the following years I just gritted my teeth and got on with life. I moved back to the USA. I always knew where the bathroom was because I might have to run there at a moments notice.
In June 2011 I had a terrible episode after going wine tasting in Napa, CA. I knew alcohol wasn't good for my stomach but I wasn't aware just how bad things can get! This was the first time I had a bad UC flare up. I lost about 12 lbs in 3days and only narrowly avoided hospitalization because I went to see a GI specialist. I had all the tests and he diagnosed me with gastritis in the stomach, an esophageal ulcer and pretty severe Ulcerative Colitis. He said that UC is an autoimmune disease and I will have to take medication for life to deal with it. I was annoyed that I officially had a disease with no cure and I wasn't prepared to accept that.
I took the Meds: PPI for stomach acid and Asacol HD for anti-inflammation of the bowel. The PPI helped the acid in my stomach but the Asacol only helped a little. I went for my follow up visit and there was some improvement (bathroom visits down from 12 to about 6/day and I still had the urgency that only someone with UC or a similar problem can understand) but not as much as the Doctor would have liked. He told me to stick with these Meds for another 2 months and if there is not a significant difference then he would consult with some other Doctors and start steroids etc. I did not want to go down this route as the logical end is surgery and colostomy bag.
I started trolling the internet for cures. Tried yogurts- no help. Tried paleo diet/gluten free- no help. Tried staying off alcohol-helped a bit but not enough.
I then decided that I had to get my acidity under control. I started taking baking soda and water and it helped a bit. I also started eating organic food and reducing processed foods including refined sugar which I know could send me to the bathroom in minutes. Then Ted suggested on this site to try Humic Acid. I liked the sound of how it blocked the fungal/myobacterium cycle and I ordered some in liquid form online. Within 3 days of taking humic acid I noticed a difference. My urgency was reduced and the occasional stool was already getting firmer. Day 5, I was shocked at the effects, my stool was like I remember as normal.
I stopped taking the humic for one weekend (5 days on, 2 days off theory) and symptoms got slightly worse towards the end of the weekend so I resumed the humic on the Monday and I haven't stopped since. I believe Humic acid is mostly responsible for the unbelievable improvement. Removing the toxins from my diet and not drinking tap water filled with fluoride and chlorine may also be a factor. I also take L-Glutamine and Vitamin D and have started to take the fulvic acid also because they say it is best to take both together for overall health.
I want to shout it from the rooftops- Humic acid is a miracle for UC, God guided me to earthclinic and God bless you all for helping!

I then (after finishing the course) put aside western medicine, and tried some eastern cures. First attempt was using pro-biotic tablets, I used it for 2 weeks, and it didnt really do much for me. Then I turned to cats-claw tablets, again no real response. Finnally I stumbeled across Aloe Vera. This worked instantly for me. One shot in the morning orally and once again in the evening. Withing 2 days I noticed the bleeding and the bloating reducing, and within a week it had fully subsided. I now keep one gallon in my fridge, and whenever I have flareups (like last night) quick dosage of AV nips the UC in the bud and I return to normal life. I have no adverse side effects from AV (appart from the horrible taste! ). I also adjusted my diet, I reduced dairy and carbonated drinks, and reduced cafine. I also stared yoga and running more often. I can say emphatically that AV along with diet and more excercise has changed my life!
May I suggest a non-toxic, no side effects (except possible sleep disturbances for a week or so), inexpensive, FDA approved at 50 mg/day but used at low doses of 1.5-4.5 mg/day drug to help with your UC? It is LDN or low dose naltrexone. Here is an article on it that may interest you:
https://cureforulcerativecolitis.com/treatment-options-2/ldn
The official site is www.ldninfo.org
At the top of this site is a reference to a Yahoo LDN Group with over 13,000 people who use LDN for a variety of diseases. You can join and ask any questions you may have. They are very willing to share experiences and answer your questions. It is often used in conjunction with a gluten and sugar-free diet for UC or Crohn's, but not always. At about $45/month for compounded LDN capsules, or even less if you get it elsewhere, it may really be something worth trying to improve your health and give you some relief.
Best wishes.

This is VERY IMPORTANT ... Because Synthetic vitamin E is known to be either less or non-effective ... and there are more than one type of natural Vitamin E ... "[Studies] examining the role of vitamin E in the immune system have typically focused on α-tocopherol; however, emerging evidence suggests that *other* *forms* of vitamin E, including other tocopherols as well as tocotrienols, may also have potent immunomodulatory functions.
"Future research should continue to identify and confirm the optimal doses for individuals at different life stage, health condition, nutritional status, and genetic heterogeneity. Future research should also characterize the effects of non-α-alpha-tocopherol vitamin E on immune cell function as well as their potential clinical application...."

Colitis, IBS, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis are just names of infections of the bowels. Like an infection of a kidney can give you kidney failure, an infection of the bowel gives us all what I like to call bowel failure ( Colitis, IBS, Chron's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Ulcers, you name it). To reach your health again, you have to treat the infection causing your bowel failure. The first big bug than can causes those bowel failures is bacterium avium, which most doctors misdiagnose. This bug will suppress the immune system and invade all your body including your bowels. You will feel extreme fatigue and bowel failure. What you can do to treat this bug is to take H2O2 therapy. You can also drink ozonated water 6 times a day to kill the bug. I have read that magnetic pulser can destroy this bug. You have to take also ionic silver or colloidal silver internally everyday in order for you to weaken the bacteria. Ted also said that borax also kills those mycoplamas. Since your immune system is suppressed by this bacteria (AIDS like state is attributed to this bacteria), you have to take selenium, zinc, magnesium, potassium, 2000U VitD3, Vitamin B complex. You have also to ch-elate your mercury by EDTA or some humic acid or chlorella.
Candida also can be a cause, but Candida in many cases is just a symptoms of mycobacterium avium infection. Killing the mycobacteria will definitely kill the candida. Hope that will help you a bit

If that does not work, you can mix one teaspoon cayenne into ½ a glass of milk. The milk takes the heat out of the cayenne without losing the medical value. The cayenne/chicken broth will be HOT but try it. Do this 2-3 times daily til you see results.
As far as the garlic goes, if broth is the only thing you can eat, add raw fresh minced garlic to the broth. Just remember, heat will destroy about 90% of it medical value. 2 cloves is a medical dose.

I‘m sorry to hear about your ulcerative colitis. I have been studying about using nicotine to heal various conditions, and I've heard from the top experts and researchers in this area that nicotine is very effective in remediating UC. You can get a patch which means it bypasses going directly through your intestines. Dr. Bryan Ardis has a pdf on his website with a protocol. I hope you find relief soon.
