I get themnspaced apart as well. We do the same for our cat. q...
33 years diagnosed. Symptoms years before diagnosis....I had an idiot doctor. q...
Ok...do the stool sample please. But not right after you do the enema. Who makes the c-scope appt for you? q...
You need to MAKE SURE a stool testing will be done asap if you need to wait for a colonoscopy. At least you will know what's going on. Green diarrhea can be caused by bacteria, virus or parasite. I...
TT...and no meds in the mix? Who knows since the OT hasn't replied 🙄 q...
Breastfeeding women can take mesalamine...it should have been first med. And this time, since you're flaring of probably UC...the enemas of 4g should have been given and at least 2400mg oral. q...
Basically, your GP is remiss in treatment and for not sending you to a GI immediately, because microscopic colitis is never a one-off. Plus...it states favouring UC. Is there anywhere on your report...
Do you have a copy of the pathology results? Is your doctor a GI? Welcome to the forum. q...
I've used prescribed dicyclomine for almost 34 years...daily. it's an antispasmodic and works for me. Some people may be proned to megacolon and that's the precaution. q...
Ditto beave...I've had 3 upper scopes. They give you a spray to swallow and then put a bite guard in your mouth for the scope to go through. Meds were administered, and I was out in an instant. q...
Sara...true...and what sucks is other autoimmune diseases that just like to join the fun. q...
A day to be celebrated indeed! q...
Sara, yes..makes sense. I don't flare with bleeding anymore, because inflammation doesn't have a chance to increase to that state. q...
ASK for a stool testing kit...please! q...
You're in a flare and not near remission. What dosage enemas and how long have you been on them? You have a ways to go...just be patient and use the enemas nightly. You should also eventually taper...
Did you have stool sample kit to do at home? You need to ask for one. q...
I had to read more of this thread to realise what meds you're on. I was commenting on the budesonide comment about constipation. With a UC type of constipation that I've experienced, it was what I...
I'm just going to throw in that constipation can be a symptom of UC healing...regression of inflammation. So keep that in mind. q...
What UC meds are you on? I would go to or call a walk-in and ask for a stool sample kit asap. Why are you on the 4mg pred...because of a flare? q...
Yes...medical doctor denial, aka idiots. q...
Obviously get both you and your child checked re stool samples. You might need medication, but I would take fibre supplements to help sweep it out plus probiotics. Make sure you dont share any...
Sara...I believe that's journey's experience. q...
She definitely should see her GP and get set up for a colonoscopy... NOT sig-scope, with biopsies. At least that would be the best option since blood and stool sample tests might not pick mild...
Doubtful...but I do agree people have sensitivities to products that could overload the immune system. q...
Hi OH...we're definitely doing much better, and my husband is negative as of today, and he'll check again tomorrow. I'm still testing positive, and hopefully will be the 3 days behind as was when I...
Hi all...thanks for the get well wishes! My husbnd is 11 days in and still testing positive...a frustrating time regarding appointments having to be delayed. Regarding dry needling...I've gone 6...
Hi Susie...the shots didn't help, but the dry needling has been amazing! I'm still waiting for my hips MRI. The therapist is awesome, and I'm grateful to have it available. I'm going to continue...
Are you in any meds? q...
That's a good plan Susie...find the right dosage that way. Too high can confuse things. q...
I've never used it, but certainly would for an occasion situation. You dont have c.diff...so it's OK for a flare. Although, not for continual use unless your GI specifies. Enjoy the wedding! Be safe...
The one thing...pepto can hinder the absorption of food nutrients. Plus, you don't seem to be eating well at all. Meatloaf isnt making you flare worse. Please ask your doctor for blood testing for...
Question still...have you had liver, pancreas, etc...not talking crp or calprotectin. And have you discussed this with your doctor? Re ****... s m u t 🙄 q...
NC...have you had blood testing done...liver, kidney, pancreas ? q...
It wouldn't do anything...a onetime poster. q...
NC...are you also on rectal meds? q...
^^ Thanks for the clarification 😁 q...
I do suggest you get back on oral and rectal enema mesalamine. An improvement in your diet intake would be helpful in general. How is your mother? q...
What meds did you did discontinue? Do you have a copy of your pathology results? I cannot type my opinion of a consultant...aka NOT a doctor...to tell you you don't have UC and go off meds. q...
Hi...welcome to the forum. What is the location extent of your UC? Is the budesonide oral or rectal? I'm going to touch on a few issues, mesalamine in particular. You were diagnosed in 2021...what...
Michele...90, wow. Good her neighbours had her come there to wait out the storm. The world is a mess...sigh. q...
Heartbreaking to see what the hurricanes have destroyed in the US and in Canada. Overwhelming amound of loss! Michele... a relief your mom is OK. q...
I didn't realise you were on Remicade. Hopeful it helps. Did you have a covid booster shot over the past few months? Some have had a flare somewhat after the shot. I used cortifoam only once for 2...
It can mean fast transit and less bile absorption. Are you flaring, and have you had liver enzyme blood tests recently? q...
Questions as always...what was the schedule of the enemas before you started using them at this point? How many bms daily? It's not the enemas...you're flaring. Normally, stool sitting in the sigmoid...
Good no side effects from both shots together. How fast does the Inflectra work for your migraines, and is it something taken regularly or as needed? q...
Haley...have you had your vitamin B12 checked as well? Good to hear Inflectra is working for you? q...
Charlie...thanks re vedo. You got this far on perseverance, so, requesting the pill cam might be a worthwhile venture to get a conclusion to a possibility. q...
So basically, the doctor thinks you have CD then? Hope the new mix of meds finally gives you relief...when do you start it? Please clarify Vedo for me. Your persistence has paid off...thanks for your...

Absolutely...congratulations? But I truly get where you're coming from. What's next for you regarding treatment? Would LDN be an option? q...
