Oh ok. The typical dosage is 9 mg a day for that medicine, yeah. The one I took was Uceris (generic is called budesonide) and it's just one pill. It's way safer than prednisone. I was on it quite a...
Did he instruct you to start the budesonide before you're off the prednisone? I always felt budesonide could work for you because your symptoms are on the milder side. I thought you tried it in the...
I was replying to the OP, not your response. However, my multi provides 100% of the recommended daily iron intake....
Ask as many questions as you want. Unfortunately, Entivio didn't do anything to help me. Hope you have better results....
Sorry to hear. How did your appointment Monday go? Did he say infection based off what he saw?...
Holy crap--haha! You WERE tired!...
I take DEVA vegan multivitamins with iron and they've never irritated my gut....
Did puppy dogs really run over? Because that would be pretty cute. :) I'm just kidding. Sorry that happened to you. That would be scary. I understand feeling embarrassed but I'm sure the nurses and...
Entyvio sounds like a good choice. I hope it helps you get back into a long remission....
I don't think they recommend Cologuard for those of us with IBD because it doesn't give as good of a look/results. My dad (who does not have IBD) used Cologuard and then his insurance refused to...
I would ask to try mesalamine enemas. The suppositories never did anything for me. Your symptoms are so mild. tonito has a good other perspective....
Thank god. Good riddance. This is how easy it's supposed to be!...
Most bleach wipes don't kill c diff. The CDC recommends using a mix of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water....
I took vancomycin when I got c diff in 2016. It worked for me....
This is absolutely hilarious. Love it....
It was definitely funny! Made me laugh out loud....
Ok, I was just kidding because poopydoop made the joke first. This forum is too stressful....
Well, I accidentally got logged out and saw the two people's posts here who I have blocked--Why don't you read the article I linked to in my first post if you want the actual hard numbers? I didn't...
Keith hasn't returned. Maybe his account really was hijacked...lol....
Anxiousaries: Stelara is another biologic already approved for UC. It doesn't have quite as good a safety profile as this drug being studied as far as I can tell....
It was safer than the placebo in the trial. Not like Imuran, no. It's not been approved yet but likely will be next year....
I'm not surprised at all. I've been refused my xanax too when I got a new doctor. Luckily, she retired and now I have another doctor who has no problem giving me my low dose I've been on for years....
I've never had those instructions either, CC and Serenity. I live 40 minutes away from the lab. They say to refrigerate it if I can't bring it right away. Whoever told you that was wrong, CC....
Sounds promising. Why did this turn into a VanJordan thread? I can only tell because everyone is quoting him....
Yeah, the safety profile was safer than placebo! If it's like Stelara, and Stelara did nothing for me, I also don't feel much hope about it. No problem....
Ugh, that sucks compared to what I thought it was. Thanks for the info....
I've never seen that either. Please stay safe....
Yeah, I'd stay where you're at if you're not in much pain, not seeing blood and not having many BMs....
Hi! Oh, sorry, I did a quick look before posting and didn't see yours! Wow, you're right, I didn't even pick up on that. They don't say in the press release. The second or third paragraph is a quote...
I could be remembering wrong. Either way, I'm sure it's fine....
Thanks for posting! Poopydoop: Thanks for your analysis!...
Great to hear you're already seeing improvements! Thank you! I'm on the lower dose again now and doing well. Keep us posted....
I haven't gotten sick at all since before covid, not even a cold. I started biologics the summer before covid. I don't think I got any colds since then. Maybe 1? Can't remember....
That's terrifying, clo! I'm so glad you're okay. Sorry you had to go through all that....
You can also just try inserting half the enema if the full bottle is too difficult to retain. They are easier to retain when the inflammation lessens. Good luck....
LOL. I wondered the same thing. I don't like fasting at all. It makes me feel unwell....
I'm so glad you decided to see a new GI. I really hope he is better. Keep us posted....
Yeah, I agree with the others. I definitely would NOT switch to another medicine. What do you think, PoopyStar?...
Fifty Percent of Patients with Ulcerative Colitis Treated with Mirikizumab Achieved Clinical Remission at One Year in Lilly's Pivotal Phase 3 Study:...
Yeah, that's to clean the area before you do the injection. They instruct you to make sure the area is dry before inserting the needle....
I doubt it but you could call the Humira nurse ambassador program and ask them. I would just put a small bandaid over mine....
I'd drop off the most recent sample. I think Humira can sometimes take 3 months to fully kick in, if I'm remembering correctly. It sure sucks if you still have to use the enemas despite being on the...
I didn't have any other dosages of budesonide offered to me here in the U.S., unless you're talking about switching to Entocort, which is more for Crohn's? I'm unfamiliar with the "ec" acronym. Are...
I read the Monkeypox vaccine is a live one. So, I am not sure if all of us on biologics could safely receive it or not. I haven't looked into this at all, just saw a post on reddit by a medical...
Go back on the enemas if bleeding continues and tell your doctor. Sorry. I don't think go-karting had anything to do with it...
Great news! Happy for you....
I could never tell for sure. I used to be a marathon runner and even ran some ultras (50 miles once and once 68). I never flared after the marathons but did after both ultras. But I wasn't in solid...
Did it work?...
How's it going so far? Both my boyfriend and I take Xeljanz and have been in remission ever since...him for a little over 2 years and I'm getting close to 1 year now. No side effects for either of us....
You should start biologics if you've been stuck on Uceris since January. Entyvio can take months to even know if it works....
