that sounds about right. I have not tried it during a major flare, but I cannot image it to do anything to a major flare. CBD helped me with my last part of the colon, the urgency, the cramps when...
I don't like jumping to conclusions - so this is still too early for me - for the past 2 weeks I have been taking CBD oil regularly - the strength I'm taking is 17mg per 1 ml - 2 full squeezes of the...
I'm replying to a pretty old post - I'm trying to see if anyone is actively taking CBD oil and their experience I just started using CBD for about a week now, I have seen some positive results but I...
look into Florastor - I heard it from here on another thread, Costco sells it, and I tried it, I think it made a difference for me. but it has lactose so if you are intolerant to lactose be careful...
boy did I speak too soon. the night after the second shot and for the next 24 hours were followed by intense shivering, 101 fever, muscle aches, weakness.. as if I have the flu...
Hydrocortisone enemas worked wonders for me, a little too good - but then it's a darn steroid and you will need to wean off of it. Mesalamine enemas don't' work for me as well anymore. They used to...
hey guys what about CBD oil? do you recommend it for him? I just started it the other day myself, I've only seen old threads about it from 2018, i'm steadily going into a more stable state this week,...
second shot today (i'm an EMT) - moderna - sore arm, got me tired and slept for 4 hours straight in the evening, got up at 12 wide awake now lol - feel fine so far...
all that everyone has said above.. plus How are your sleeping habits? What about exercising? And as they said, keep stress at low level Do get on rectal meds, they do wonders...
ladies and gents I feel like exercise and sleep helps more with getting in or out of a flare. At least with me, when I do not sleep enough, stay late, wake up late, and don't exercise, UC bothers me...
coconut oil is great over here, also works when pushing in hemmies... those pesty hemmies coconut oil is also antiseptic so it could protect against unwanted or accidental contamination of the enema,...
hey guys, going through a long flare, and I just switched back yesterday to Mesalamine Enemas - and strangely today I saw dark-brown mucus in the creases of the stool along with regular mucus...
Crazy question: could entyvio do the oposite? instead of helping, it possibly prevent remission? Anyone heard of any cases like this? Because that's how I feel about myself. I've had UC since 2013...
hey iPoop (catchy name) have you had infections more often by being on remicade? don't these biologics beat the crap out of the immune system? maybe not beat the crap but severely lower it. Have they...
I'm 10 weeks into entyvio - so I got my 3 loading doses - I am still taking mesalamine orally and still strugling with enemas, still having urgencies, so in short I think entyvio has failed me. this...
I got the first shot, i'm on entyvio currently, I'm due for my second shot in a couple weeks my GI said it's ok to take it even though i'm on entyvio besides a very sore shoulder for 2 days, I had no...
Hey Sam, how is your physical activity? Do you exercise often? I have UC and I actually came here today for some opinions myself, I have been in a flare for 3-4 months now, finally my poops are...
Hey Deen any luck with the coconut oil enemas? I was thinking to try them - but i was also thinking to take it a step further and mix in turmeric in the enema. Turmeric mixes up well in warm coconut...
the 2 rubber bands fell off within 3-4 days, absolutely no improvement. I have no idea what or now dr. put them on. I felt no improvement. idk if it was because of me still being in a flare, but I...
[quote="ChrisJackson"]I do 2 gm - 3 gm turmeric (No pepperin) enemas, 3x day when in bad shape, once a day when Im doing OK.” Hey Chris what type of Turmeric do you use? Distilled Water? How much...
Thank you for this. I will be researching. Totally with you on the bottom-up vs top-up. It makes sense. But you say instant coffee in the enema? I feel my colon may not like that lol. Man, i need to...
Yes, the budesonide is oral - 3 pills per day the steroid (hydrocortisone) is enema the mesalamine is oral pills I don't want to jump into conclusions, we know how UC is, you feel great one day and...
Hydrocortisone is pretty powerful, thins the skin and has tons of side effects, but so does Pred, probably 10 times worse.. so yea i get your point. Im on mesalamine 4g a day, budesonide, and i just...
Hi, i am on third month of a flare. Stools are getting formed but of course the end part of the colon is freagging inflamed. I am starting to feel down :/ Urgency and the stool is really all over the...
Hi, are you saying that e.g. taking Melatonin pills will help with diarrhea? Speaking of Diarrhea - please I need some opinions. My first bm in the morning is just cloudy water, urgency yes, then...
went to colorectal surgeon today, she snapped 2 rubber bands on 2 of my "rroids" pretty uncomfortable ... still feel tension. but she said they'll fall off in 1-2 weeks as the rubber band cuts off...
Hey guys, i’m having a similar situation here and starting to worry. Been more than 24 hours with heart rate of 100-125 bpm - i’m on budesonide and 10 mg Pred (tapering down as we speak from 40mg...
i did something different these past few days and I'm seeing slow improvements: - started taking Budesonide while decreasing Pred to 20 mg - I read online there's no interactions between the 2 -...
I highjacked this thread :D - well so Manuka honey has helped, calms things down, stopped hemorrhoids from bleeding, but... no way in heck it will shrink them. mine have gotten to a bad point - I had...
oh it's so hard to control straining ... I do a good job at distracting myself, but it reaches the point the doo doo is there and not coming out.. thank you for the feedback. FYI this morning I...
Hey guys, I'm in a similar situation here. Been on Pred for 3 weeks 40 mg, bleeding and mucus stopped so I started to drop the dose 20mg now. and I'm doing ok. But my hemorrhoids are out of control,...
I’m in a flare myself, going for 1.5 months now, on 40 mg of pred for 2 weeks now seeing results but the mesalamine enemas i feel are doing nothing for me as well - they used to do magic before, now...
Vacation was what put me on remission initially - well medications helped, but getting plenty of rest and no stress was what helped me. Anyways, at this point you need to tame it - with whatever you...
Try to get it online if anything - and I'm not sure if Greek Oregano is any special than the one you grow in your yard. Btw, don't mean to go off topic - what brand curcumin do you use? the one I...
BTW I'm lucky enough to be off meds completely - simply Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil (buy at Costco) and gave up Apriso about 1 month ago. I turned to Oregano Tea cause I did not want to re-start Apriso...
I buy the bunches at a local store - they have international foods. it's greek oregano it says. I just did a Google search for "dried oregano bunches" and surprisingly there are many many options...
Hey guys, I responded to the Oregano Oil thread but decided to start a thread just for Oregano Tea. Have you guys tried it before? I just started trying it for 3 days now and going strong - energy...
hey guys, I've tried Oregano Oil in the past and I felt it made my symptoms worse so I had stopped it, I may have done it wrong. :skull: But anyways, the reason for my post - I've been on remission...
well that's a relief! I appreciate your quick feedback. I'll continue to take this med :)...
Hi all, I've been on Apriso for 2-3 years now and I feel a bit lucky for the past 6 months as I've been in remission (not accredited to Apriso btw) but I wanted to know if any of you had done any...
I've been having such mix results with turmeric brands that I want to know what works for you guys. - Now Foods turmeric - gave me worst acid reflux - Organic India - taking it now, not sure if it's...
If only you could get someone to drink it :turn: I'm an EMT and that stuff is the nastiest I've seen By the way - for me, consistently foul odor farts are associated with an incoming or worsening...
Haha :) that made me laugh. I definitely feel I'm getting better, and the fact that I don't have cramps or blood in the poop then it must be a positive sign. Good point by Gary - I will not taper...
Hey TotesMagotes, I'm pretty sure it was mucus this morning because I didn't do the enemas last night... too tired fell asleep on the couch...
Hi all, I'm coming off a flare that lasted about 4 weeks. Getting regularity and well formed stool but they're covered in mucus (no blood). And few small lumps of mucus come out too floating around....
@ IamCurious "unless your symptoms included bleeding and loose stools." If they start seeing blood/loose stools that's very far into the flare.. and they'd be looking at Pred or some other powerful...
Similar situation... going on 4th week or more with this flare. i decided to hit it hard with 20mg of Pred, then started using Messalamine enemas, while on Apriso. Started eating Aloe Vera leaf 2x a...
Funny how i also notice similar behavior of my gut with red wine. So i had to look it up and saw this thread. Fyi - vsl#3 on empty stomach 3 times a day seems to be helping. I also take 1 align and...
Thank you Guardian, those are great suggestions, and I totally agree about modern wheat. Not to mention the use of roundup on it which is a completely different animal. It's funny, It's been one year...
Guardian7 - first time i hear that constipation could be due to a food intolerance. That'svery interesting. I did a whole blood work-up with an imunologist and came up with low/minor intolerance to...
