Blood lab results tracker

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...

I'm probably either flaring mildly or have a GI infection...

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Update

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...

Sudden hives every time I go outside?

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...

I'm probably either flaring mildly or have a GI infection...

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...

Moderat Covid

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...

diarehea to constipated to loose to too often

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Anyone here have salicylate intolerance?

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
diarehea to constipated to loose to too often

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Anyone here have salicylate intolerance?

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...

very interesting experience regarding the sun & exercise& Uc

Anastasiya...you are undertreated med-wise. I would consider that initially. q...

Flare or something else

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?...

Sigmoid inflammation

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...

Yet another update

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...

Sudden hives every time I go outside?

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Is this a flare?

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Crohn’s triggers

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...

Sigmoid inflammation

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...

Persistent constipation with ulcerative colitis

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Update

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Update

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...

Remicade, UTIs, surgery

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...

Ulcerative Colitis
Trapped Gas and Cramps

Wish...it depends on location and the signals the area sends, in simplest description. Fluffy stool can mean air in the colon or fibre intake. The trapped air could be spasming as well... Do you have...

7/14/2022 12:48 PM

Ulcerative Colitis
Trapped Gas and Cramps

I would say, from my experience and how my GI explained it, you're healing from the flare...and the severity and/or the location in the rectum has regressed. What other meds are you on? And what was...
