Anyone take either of these and have any advice on them? Have you found that products like these are beneficial for healing?

i don't take anything like that myself.  It seems to me the ingredients list in the Metagenics ultrainflmex is similar to a good multi-vitamin/mineral.  Plus some extras thrown in.  The extras don't seem like they are worth the cost of the products tho.  Another option would be to buy them separately and take them in the amounts you choose, rather than what someone else decided to put in the powder.  The advantage of buying separately is if you have a reaction to one of the ingredients you can  stop taking it and you are only out the money for the one ingredient.  If you have a reaction to any of the many ingredients in a combo products like these you are looking at not being able to use the product after spending a lot of money on it.  None of these extras look particularly expensive or hard to find by themselves.  You can buy turmeric, rosemary  and garlic in the grocery store after all.  I couldn't get the orthomolecular link to open.

 

Metagenics Extras:

 

Turmeric Rhizome Extract (Curcuma longa) 316 mg
[standardized to 95% (300 mg) curcuminoids]

Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) 200 mg

D-Limonene 100 mg

Ginger Root Extract (Zingiber officinale) 100 mg
[standardized to 5% (5 mg) total pungent compounds]

Sulfate (as magnesium sulfate) 50 mg

I could not get the orthomolecular link to open either. My orthomolecular doctor suggested using L-glutamine to help with healing of the intestines.

I have the UltraInflamX but have not yet tried it. Maybe this week. I bought it recently after asking my gastro what she thought about my trying it. My cousin uses it for another issue and I figured I could at least try it and if it doesn't help me at all I could give it to her and not feel like I completely wasted the money. Let us know if you try something and how it works for you!

It looks like a good protein powder, and I am a fan of protein powders - I add it to most baking I do for my kids... even cookies. LOL

 

It looks like there are good things in there that are known to help the gut and with healing. If you are looking for a protein powder, you might as well try it.

Those two protein powders are the ones mentioned in Esposito's book. She claims to have used them to help healing.

L-Glutamine powder was recommended by my ND, and is one many people take, including me. I can't say if it's working or not but I keep seeing it mentioned so I continue with it.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
