    If this worked for UC I'd give it a go.

    Apologies for butting in but UC is ulcerative colitis. Have a sister with Crohns and has had for 25+ years so something I do know about (unfortunately).

    From Wiki on Nicotine for UC it IS the nicotine as they can get results with the nicotine patch.

    Nicotine [edit]

    Unlike Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis has a lesser prevalence in smokers than non-smokers. Patients who choose to use smoking as a treatment should keep a record regarding smoking cessation and the onset or relapse of ulcerative colitis to verify associations. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] Studies using a transdermal nicotine patch have shown clinical and histological improvement. [ 41 ]

    In one double-blind, placebo controlled, study conducted in the United Kingdom 48.6% of patients who used the nicotine patch, in conjunction with their standard treatment, showed complete resolution of symptoms. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center clinical trial conducted in the United States showed that 39% of participants showed significant improvement vs. 3% of placebo. [ 42 ] Use of a transdermal nicotine patch without the addition of other standard treatments such as mesalazine has relapse occurrence rates similar to standard treatment without the use of nicotine.
