Multistem trial for moderate to severe UC success

Multistem trial for moderate to severe UC success - Ulcerative Colitis - HealingWell.com Forum

I'm confident I received the Multistem because I have slowly improved every day and am pretty sure I'm in complete remission now (I go back in two weeks for another look see). At any rate, I encourage any of you who are suffering and not being helped by the drugs we have available to us to check into this trial. Let me know if there are others of you having any results with this trial please.

I got into the trial and have not ever tried biological or immunosuppressive drugs. I failed mesalamine sulfasalazine and uceris. Yes I am still doing great. I had my 8 week flex sig last Friday and while there are still some ulcers they are much improved and symptom wise I am in Complete remission. My iron levels have even finally made it back to the normal range after being low for months. I have not experienced any side effects and while there is always risk of side effects in the future I am so thankful to try an option that might be safer than those other nasty drugs. Furthermore to the above post about the high dangers of stem cells transplants read up on multistem....they are different than a traditional stem cell transplant. I'm more than happy to answer any other questions you guys have as I feel this may truly be a viable option for us uc people in the future.
