Sue and summerstorm, I for one am so glad to hear about your experiences. As of last colonoscopy in February, my UC is limited to the rectum and about a 1 foot up...the rest looks great. As my doctor...
Wishing you the best. Know that you are not the only one who is considering surgery. It is my next step. I have not been successful with any of the drugs. I have been on 6mp, prednisone, Remicade and...
Thank you so much for your reply about Dr. Dahlman.....I really do appreciate the feedback. I have not spent any money with him yet. I prefer to meet with a doctor face to face. I am very excited I...
I can't wait to hear about this! I wish you all the best....
I am on the fence about this. A part of me knows there is no cure and I don't want to waste my money. There is also that part of me that wants to believe that if I changed my diet and took some other...
A friend of mine told me about a website and information on a Dr. Dahlman and what he proposes be done to help treatment of UC and Crohn's. Just wondered if anyone has heard of him or has ever tried...

Glad it all worked out for you! I have done the "chasing" thing before too, but not with apple juice. I just can't remember what it was I used but, anyway, it works great to do that. I have never...
Wow! I experience the same thing. In fact, yesterday after leaving the doctor's I was stuck in traffic and had both of my small kids in the back....scared to death about needing the bathroom. I have...
Thank you for your reply. I did start Humira yesterday. We'll see how it goes. I also had to be bumped up on the Prednisone again because of the flare I was having. It was way to much blood, in my...
Can anyone please tell me if they are on this and if it's working for them? I have been looking through the threads here for as much information as possible. I am due to start this treatment...
