NCOT...her dementia is TIA induced. I agree a cure for that would be a miracle! q...
Hi NCOT...very sad to hear of your dad's sudden death 😔 and I do feel the same as you that you didnt have to experience the more painful progression of his dementia. My best friend has been going...
Wow...this needs to be a show kn TLC! A relief you made it to the ER...I would have assumed they would have made arrangements for you to have surgery. Hope you're able to have it soon. I've only...
Everything I use is in my signature...I've never been on any special diets. Never on prednisone. Went off my meds only once during the first year...bad decision. q...
LOL...and here I thought that the water, never ending big fat spiders and fans to keep them cool would win them over. Makes sense becoming their (above coined) Dominatrix... yep, waiting for that...
LOL...i suspect the roosters have waaay too much fun over at your place. Why the poison? q...
A good one! You can turn off autoreplace. q...
Click on ipoop's username...his email addie is listed. q...
Oh please Jordan...go back to your thread and continue the work you're focused on! At least there you talk only out of one side of your mouth and dont whine as much. 🙄 q...
Naturalcurl...I have all mine printed out since around 2004, but I'm useless with a spreadsheet. I do have access to someone who could help me with it tho. Serenity...I shall wait for that option to...
Hi naturalcurl...thanks for the info. I don't have access to labs online. Test results over time, and a comparison, is basically what I would like. I don't mind entering by hand, but that would be...
Hi...does anyone use one? If so, which one, and how does it work? I have Samsung. Thanks! q...
Good plan about the kitty litter. I take it the pest guy comes and rebaits the traps? Frustrating when there's a conflict in service. Hope it's not a conti uing issue. Definitely do the enemas...😁 q...
Absolutely add a probiotic. I take mine at bedtime... I've never flared from antibiotics, but I stick to ones Ive used in the past. I second using the steroid enemas for now. q...
Good news the x-ray confirmed nothing serious going on. Hope the inhaler and meds ultimately help. Suggestion...rinse your mouth and gargle with water after using the steroid spray so that you don't...
Sounds like you need the surgery...and she will probably have no issues with doing the c-scope since you don't seem to be in severe flare. Please use the enemas till then anyway...an expected...
Flare, not flair. I haven't had Covid, but having diarrhea could be a symptom. What are your other Covid symptoms? A stool sample testing is probably a good idea. I do suggest rectal meds, and...
Definitely strange...bu a warning sign. Let us know how the change in diet goes. q...
Just a curiosity... have you tried okra flour in the past, and did you have issues? q...
Sharon...good to know you're now pain-free after bursectomy. I've not had specific imaging diagnosis for it...eventually imaging will happen for me. I go for a lower back MRI tomorrow...hopefully, my...
The milk isn't making your flare worse, however, it could cause discomfort. So maybe try a replacement such as oat milk or others. There is also lactose free milk (if that's an issue) ...you have...
And any of the other ingredients are for sure not an issue? I suggest you not have it again until you get tested....because you don't know when it will hit as anaphylaxis. Based on that...push for...
It isn't after a flare...it's as inflammation regresses, therefore, still a flare but improving. I highly suggest rectal retention enemas. If you can use mesalamine...that's what I suggest now. Are...
How was the okra cooked and what all was in the dish? Is it only that dish you have made with okra...or other preparations with it? q...
You might have had an a reaction to the booster...but it would be worthwhile to see an allergist and be tested for salicylate allergy regardless. What did you eat with the okra? I have asthma and...
Anastasiya...you are undertreated med-wise. I would consider that initially. q...
It could have been something you picked up. Are you on probiotics? How long before the cramping did you have stool changes...eg smaller or harder to pass, and how many times a day are you having bms?...
Anastasiya...welcome to the forum. Firstly, you should never have been invited to quit the meds. Secondly, you should also have been on full coverage mesalamine including rectal meds. What was the...
Wow...that's certainly a confusing and scary conflicting diagnosis. I hope that during the full colonoscopy that the doc will take plenty of biopsies. What meds are you on for c.diff? I also hope...
I would throw the suitcase away...🙄 q...
Doesn't sound good at all considering your lungs are also affected. I agree to get to an urgent care asap...get checked for Covid as well. Please let us know the outcome. q...
It could be related, yes. Has the hospital done a full blood panel as well? q...
Cw...wow, interesting dilemma re hives and how fast the reaction. I also suggest another allergy med. Have you added a new supplement, med or new body product recently? Are there fires in your...
I've never had that issue...but you do need to address it with your doctor. Hopefully, he will do liver enzyme and other bloods and stool testing to see if there is anything else going on. I'll...
Trigger for discomfort and for the fact that the digestive tract is processing in a more abnormal way while going through a flaring or inflamed gut. Not a trigger for causing a flare. Yes...food...
I'm grateful I don't have chronic pain when not flaring, but I do have discomfort and nausea depending on food choices and resulting gas. I havent read the full article yet and have it...
Oh wow...just what you don't need. Yep, enemas first suggestion. I hope the results from your samples don't take too long. How is Pumpkin doing? q...
Nope...I suggest you call your doc asap. q...
Ask your doctor for the mesalamine rectal retention enemas...4g dosage. As well...ask for an antispasmodic. I use dicyclomine 20mg. Do you have the referral process for a GI in motion? q...
Wow...i can picture the whole event!! 😯🤣 I, too, was thinking the same about the roosters coming to your aid...alas, not!! Next time, because the tarantulas are already planning revenge, maybe try...
Eating is subjective...so one suggestion doesn't fit all. Basically, you arent on enough meds...max is 4.8grams orally, by the way. If taking meds bother you mentally, dont take them. q...
Hi...welcome to the forum. You need to request a colonoscopy asap...and a referral to a gastroenterologist. q...
You have to do what works better methinks. I don't like suppositories either. I also suggest a fibre supplement...and probiotics. I don't know if you've tried them. q...
So damned frustrating when the medical connections are slow. I get super stressed when that happens. The white in stool is normal with the enemas, so that's not an issue. But if you feel better with...
You're in a very complicated situation...regarding the remi, what is the benefit to be delayed by 2 weeks? Rest well...hugs, q...
Hi...were you on the suppository daily for the entire time with UC? Did you contact your GI to get back on the oral? You're flaring..., and it sounds like limited in the rectum. You need to get on a...
Says for Crohns colitis...meaning crohns in colon. q...
I would initially try the meds first and see how that works. About the coding...a high risk. But I understand you wanting the surgery. Why are you wanting to quit the Remi? q...
Are you in rectal meds at all? Are you taking probiotics? Insuggest you call your doc, and explain what's happening...and ask for dicyclomine anyway. q...
Wish...I love apples and dates with hummus. Plus, the Crunchmaster multigrain rice crackers from Costco. Dicyclomine helps a lot...it's the only one I've used. If you have a Swiss ball...lay on it...
