What is manuka honey?
Mānuka honey is a monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the mānuka tree. The honey is commonly sold as an alternative medicine.
Manuka honey, produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. There are many Manuka honey uses that range from healing sore throats and digestive illnesses to curing Staph infections and gingivitis
I have not ingested manuka honey, but I have used it topically. I recently had a j-pouch redo (January 2018) and my incision was not closing up properly. My WOCN recommended manuka honey for the incision. It closed up within a week. I think it's pretty amazing stuff.
I am really looking forward to hearing your results. I'm from the US and live in NZ. I have never thought of using Manuka Honey as an alternative to antibiotics. I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!
Hello,
I suffer from chronic inflammation in my j-pouch. Where do you purchase this? Is it available at a health food store?
Also, I am thinking that I may need a resection as well. I have had this pouch for 4 years now and its been nothing but trouble for me ever since. Actually about 2 years ago I went to Cleveland Ohio Clinic to reverse it. A doctor popped in and said how was my thyroid, well long story short I had a complete removal of it! I was told that It was so out of (high) I was close to having a heart attack. well ever since the removal just added more problems for me. My levels are constantly bouncing around, not even the Chairman of the Endocrine Dept. cant figure me out!
I am so tired of being In and out of the hospital, this is not a life!!!!! I was recently put back on TPN again in which I'm not happy about but had too because I was 87 Lbs.
I'm done but don't know what to do!!! Ostomy or Revision. I know I will have to get a docs advise so we can make a decision together.
My question is why did you have to have yours redone, how is the function now ,were you having the same problems as i have minus the thyroid? How long was the recovery? also, are you working or able to? What do you do for a living?
My thing is you only have 1 life, I want to enjoy with my family, and get back into my career or possibly change because of all the stress. I want to enjoy my life with my husband, want to adopt, travel and not live in the hospital, and being on all kids of meds. My fear is will it be the same even if i do go back. Has my disease spread? Bottom line I want a real life
