I couldn't find anything on forum search, but found this. Click on the complete text link. Curious (if you are OK to share) why you've had 3 CT scans in that period of time...and was the recognition...
The probiotics and amounts are listed.....although listed if you click on the conditions they are touted for. q...
My opinion...probiotics are a benefit. Being worth it is subjective...give it a shot. 3 months should be enough time to see if they are of value to you. Keep us updated. q...
Chocolate...hmmm...used go be prescribed, therefore, it's medicinal I believe... Sugar doesnt cause or trigger UC. q...
Sure...depends on what I eat. What are your bms like? And what meds are you on? q...
International...you will have to self-isolate, correct? q...
Hi...welcome to the forum. What meds are you on? q...
UCer...I suggest you use the enemas every 3 nights and then go to twice a week. See how that goes. q...
Wow, good to hear that Imuran has controlled your UC for such a loooooong time. Hope the insurance change will help to add mesalamine added to the mix...Apriso or Pentasa might be an option if...
Mitz...heartbreaking to read of your mother's health crisis and unexpected death. I would imagine her to have been extremely comforted by your vigilant and loving physical care. I hope her funeral...
Put out a new topic question...better than a thread from 3 years ago. q...
I suggest she seek another GI if she is uncomfortable with him. q...
Is the mesalamine 4g enema or oral? I'm assuming the budesonide is the oral...is the steroid enema you will be getting budesonide as well? Worth trying...keep us updated. q...
Hi...its good you went to the hospital and found out about low rbc. You need to be on a higher dosage if mesalamine...and your inflammation is reaching toward the sigmoid. Request retention enemas of...
Where did you hear steroid enema will damage your colon worse than it is? It would be worth the effort to try them... What other meds are you on? q...
Hi! I totally understand the anxiety, and although it doesn't change the reality, it's pretty much impossible for many of us to not do it anyway. Where was the polyp found? Good to hear remission has...
garyi...its so underrated😞 Glad it worked for you! q...
What was the pathology result of your polyp that was removed? There's always some anxiety regarding polyps and cancer...i had hyperplasia polyps during 2 scopes...nothing since. I'm grateful for the...
Diet doesn't affect it...but diet does affect the consistency of stool. I suggest you also ask for oral mesalamine even with a proctitis diagnosis. What is location extent of inflammation and what...
A worthwhile test...it's good you tried it. q...
Keep us updated on your findings. q...
Thats a good plan. How much of those foods are you consuming? q...
Definitely. The only way to tell is eliminate them for at least 2 or 3 days. q...
It's hard to say except most probably stool mixed with mucus and the enema. You could try tonight without the enema and see if you have the same wipe colour as when using the enema. Another option...
Any change in diet...or supplements that contain iron? q...
👍Let me know how it goes. q...
Good news...and what did the doc rx for the hemmies? q...
Take them at bedtime on a mostly empty stomach when the gut is more quiet...see if that helps. q...
Made the link live... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencealert.com/your-mouth-bacteria-might-be-behind-severe-forms-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease/amp One trigger of many to exacerbate once one...
I don't understand the point...considering that UC starts at the rectum and climbs upward, the most difficult areas to treat with oral meds are the rectum and sigmoid. Hence the push for people to...
Some blood sporadically compared to friable tissue while in a flare...flare bleeding would be consistent. I would more assume a hemmie. Were you not prescribed hemmie meds and do you have UC rectal...
How long on the enemas? Lay on your left side for a half hour...simple. Welcome to the forum. q...
No...horrors at the thought. But Im not smart... q...
They would mean the same thing. q...
Stay on the regimen for another month, and treat the anal area with external meds...sounds like a fissure. At the one month, if all has been consistently good, then start your taper to every second...
I would take it anyway... q...
The ones in my signature are worthy to me. If you are in the US, I suggest one to start with...Primadophilus Reuteri...capsules, not pearls. I took that for many, many years until it was discontinued...
Good on better retention...keep us updated. q...
Is it the unflavoured powder? Try Rexall drugs. I'm impressed with Metamucil's response. q...
Try well.ca. q...
I don't think it's the enemas...having more severe proctitis gives those symptoms. Can you take mesalamine? If so try the 4g enemas anyway. I would also suggest you try to increase bms and soften...
I thought CD while reading. I assume she would have further testing. What were the pathology results of her removed colon, and was her cecum removed? What about having her also on apriso...it starts...
Personally, it's not something I would give second thought to. q...
How is your stomach worse exactly or do you mean other gastro symptoms? I suggest you call your GI asap and explain the situation. Can you possibly take a PPI if it is your stomach? q...
We get the capsules from Costco when on sale.... used to get Superstore brand, but none to be found and not on their list to get any in. There are other brands you could try, dont get WalMart...
No. It would be the coating and minimally absorbed I would think. What are the options offered to you? q...
My husband and I had them in 2019, but forget exactly when. He had no side effects. I had a headache and fatigue the evening after the first one. After the second one...I had headache, chills, and...
I've never heard of antibiotics being used for a parasite...but it's definitely possible the med you were given could cause fatigue. How long ago were you on it, and where was the parasite infection?...
Awesome news you're doing much better...it's been a very long haul for you to get to this point. Hugs, q...
