Hey all, This is my second pregnancy. The first one I was not on biologics or 6-mp like I am now so I’m worried about any potential effects to the baby or pregnancy. Anyone have experience with...
so sorry about what you're going through. I had recurring c diff all last year and did three round of vanco (6 weeks each time), then had fecal transplant. I think one of the reasons I kept getting c...
Just started taking VSL #3 for the first time today. My symptoms have been mostly under control but I am on so many meds and mostly trying to get off of prednisone. I had c diff 4 times last year and...
Hi there! I'm sure this is discussed a lot but I can't find anything recent. Does anyone take tumeric to help uc? I'm considering adding to my regiment because I've read many good things about it for...
I'm going through hell again with c diff, fourth time since January of this year. Finally convinced the doctor to do fecal transplant and we did it on Wednesday. I am so worried it didn't work...
Hey guys, This year I'm participating in my first CCFA Take Steps walk to raise money for research. I'm really looking forward to this event and connecting with others in the CCFA. Has anyone else...
I have been in your exact position before (and am actually dealing with c diff again right now and back on vanco). When I was first diagnosed with c diff I had already been taking prednisone for a...
Hi there, I am finally coming off of prednisone after being on it for entirely too long. I am currently taking 5mg and plan to be off in two weeks. My UC is under control and symptoms are under...
Sounds like your doctor did give you an unnecessary scare. I started flaring around 28 weeks pregnant and was put on 60mg of prednisone. I got the IV steroid dose during labor too. My GI or OB didn't...
I've been struggling with getting my condition under control for two years now. I've been on and off prednisone (more on than off) at 40mg or higher. I started Remicade this past November, but...
Honestly- the anxiety of flaring will never completely go away, it hasn't for me at least. It's always in the back of my mind when I think about plans for the future. But it just makes the good days...
I have those moments too! especially with coworkers. I've been out of work for awhile now after being hospitalized for c diff and a flare. I've been getting emails, calls, and texts from coworkers...
Hey there, I'm in the same situation right now. When I was first diagnosed with c diff, I was on prednisone for a flare. My dr took me off of prednisone and put me on flagyll. I was fine and my...
Struggling through a flare like I've never had before.... Three weeks ago I tested positive for C diff. At the time I was on 40mg of prednisone but my doctor had me stop immediately and put me on...
How long do doctors usually keep you on vancomycin? my dr wants me on a 28 day treatment. I understand the need to make sure the infection is clear, but I'm concerned that taking it that long with...
