Does anyone here suffer from Ulcerative Colitis?

Other than prednisone and sulfasalazine what medications if any have worked for you?
I found a study in the JAMA a while back that said VSL#3, a pro-biotic was doing well in the treatment of Crohns and UC.
So far it's really seeming to help my husband. Any one else familiar with it?

6. This may lock it down.... but here goes.

Sam-E

Coenzyme Q10 with L-Carnitine

Source of Life from Nature's Plus

Lipoic Acid

Grape Seed Extract

Calcium

Omega threes with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate

L-Glutamine

Digestive enzymes

Aloe Vera

Naturally I don't take a FULL dose of each each day.... perhaps a half, or a third of what would be considered the full therapeutic dose... but I am doing rather well as of late.... thought I was gonna die last year.
