Wow, Sherry-that is crazy. And very good to know!! I will stick with the liquid prep. Seems there has been enough improvement on them, and truthfully, it isn't something I have to endure frequently....
I'm on remicade and have been for more than 2.5 years now. Before that I was on humira. Remicade has so far worked better for me in terms of length of time, but both worked well for me. Like Red, I...
Thanks again to all for the responses!! Quick update-I didn't mix the prep with anything, but did chase it with apple juice. That helped a TON. I drank the prep with a straw so it hit as few taste...
lol-Jello shots would be a lot more fun-as would adult beverages! Thanks everyone! I never drink apple juice, so I might try that. It won't matter if I can never drink it again. Since he prescribed...
I want to call and ask why I can't take the pills. Maybe I will do that. But yeah-I can't imagine ANYTHING making this crap taste any better, lol. And I would probably never touch those drinks again...
I always mixed mine with almond milk (I would have used regular milk, but dairy doesn't agree with me), and I didn't think it was bad. Chocolate almond milk is even better!...
Hi all-I apologize for being MIA for months on end. I'm going to attempt to catch up, meet some new faces and see how everyone is doing. I am having a long overdue colonoscopy on Monday. Prescribed...
Congrats on the baby!! But I'm so sorry about the flare. I have flares like that, and I am on Remicade, previously on humira. After my last bad flare, which was caused by the humira failing after...

This is very interesting! And yes, ITA notsosicklygirl!! I definitely feel that way. All of these potential advancements and things on the horizon, but such limited options for us in this moment....
I have been on Remicade for 2 years and 4 months now. My first few infusions, I had to take benedryl, so I couldn't drive myself, and I was tired after. Since then, I haven't had issues with the...
Oh-and my gi said the most important thing to him was that I was already in remission when we TTC. He said that the rule of thirds tends to apply in this case as well, that 1/3 of people will get...
I can't help with the ob, but had a baby in august, my first since UC, and it went really well for me. I was in remission, and just felt even better during pregnancy. Post baby (my third c/s), I...
For me, stress is my biggest trigger. Only because antibiotics are something I avoid, as they were what triggers my UC in the first place. But yes, stress is the one key factor I have to control in...
