Experiences with peptides for gut issues like colitis and Crohn’s

Colitis has been with me for fifteen years. GLPs brought down my CRP readings and the colonoscopy showed less inflammation than at any point since diagnosis. That means the next scope can be pushed back to every three to five years instead of annually. Edit: two cycles of KLOW after those results and the reduced inflammation is still holding.

I have UC and found that KPV together with Reta took care of it. I still take mesalazine just in case, but nothing beyond that.

Nicotine is not a peptide, yet some people claim it works well for colitis. No smoking required; an inexpensive flavored pouch can be used in the mouth instead. Addiction remains a possibility, though it appears more likely in those who began smoking during their teens.

As noted earlier, ulcerative colitis is my condition. Nicotine never showed any connection to fewer flare-ups. I resumed smoking once in an attempt to settle a severe flare, and chewing tobacco, dip, and nicotine pouches like ZYN likewise produced no improvement. GLPs lowered inflammation enough that flares occur less often, and CRP values dropped as well. The most recent colonoscopy was the best to date, so the next one can wait three to five years rather than repeating every year.
