SCD diet

I did SCD for 9 months a couple of years ago. I treated it as a religion--just like the book tells you to--adhering to it so closely and fanatically that I ended up blindly thinking it was helping me...

Making yogurt on the SCD

I was on SCD for about 9 months, and the yogurt was probably the most beneficial thing of it for me. Here's a few tips: Use the freshest milk possible. It makes a difference. I would only yogurt-ify...

In the 1 percent of people with allergic reaction with mesalamine

Boston - where to go for 2nd opinion?

Are all 5-ASA's the same?

YES! they can be drastically different. Between asacol and colozal I preferred colozal --different delivery mechanism that ensures more reaches the gut. Unfortunately, generic colozal doesn't have...

A question to AMK77

it worked alright for me--i began to mix it into pudding and such--very tasty. The only downside was that my body began to require more and more of it--I could feel the UC coming back, and so I upped...

This is for all the SINGLES!!

Ok, sappy mode on: I feel like I've actually gotten quite good at explaining the depths and severity of UC over the last few years of my life. I like to think that everyone you date has one or two...

Generic Colazal- Big pills

yup, I'm sure it wasn't a tummy bug--talked to both the pharmacist and my doc and they said that the generic form of colazal can increase risks of tummy upset-ness. I've had problems with normal...

does anyone know if drinking beer aggravates UC??

for me, any alcohol is a no no. pain/symptoms, usually within 30 mins to an hour. beer wasnt as bad as mixed, sugary drinks, but still sucked. Alcohol has provoked an all out flare for me before...
