Hey I am going through a UC flare with mucous and blood right now and I needed some help with the Elemental diet. I have read The IBD remission diet book as well as 3/4 of the LTYG book. I had some questions on the order of things in the diet because is unclear and I have heard a lot of change has been going on with the diet.

1)the same day I start the diet i have to do Jinis healing enema to stop the bleeding?
How many times do I need to do them in one day or in a week?
2)At the same time I start the diet do I start the WOO protocol? or do I start slow with 5 drops 2 x a day, or what?
3) Do I slowly begin drinking the number of shakes to increase my weight or do i gradually reach to that number?
4)How many times a day or a week do you find it helpful to eat the broths or the jello other than the shakes, so you don't become tired of the shakes?
5)as soon as i start the elemental diet I have to start consuming the natren probiotics, right?
I do this at the same time I start the woo protocol, right? I wanted to buy the dairy-free probiotics from natren in powder form, but I only can find the megadophilus and the bifido factor in dairy free powder form, not the Digesta lac? Should I buy the dairy free digesta lac in capsule form and just empy it in water?thanks

Hi, there.

One addition to what darkangel wrote:

DO go ahead and start taking the probiotics simultaneously with the IBD Remission Diet.
