Wi chica...I was thinking blood and stool testing at this point of continued testing. Are probiotics something that would be OK to take? q...
Awful for you to have to deal with this. I hope the meds have you feeling better soon. Will you be having regular testing as well? Please keep us updated how you're doing. q...
No one here that I know has had any success with Vit E enemas. Is it betnesol enema...and yes, use it once or twice a day with the Ok of the doc and get rx to reflect that. Can you not use...
😟Healing thoughts your way! q...
Could be food related if it's a one-off, but could be flare related. Calprotectin test in norm range doesnt mean you're not mildly flaring. What meds are you on? Why the test in the first place? What...
Definitely the best thing for you to tested. Please let us know the result. q...
Postpone....make an appt for a later date such as in the fall. I hope this new GI will still rx your meds. q...
Were you checked for h.pylori? q...
Take the nexium and see if it helps... Prednisone increases acidity in the stomach...thats why the nexium. q...
Pretty much anything one reads says D3 and not D2. Maybe D2 in mega dosages than D3? Haven't read about it tho. q...
Deepest condolences CC 😐 q...
https://autoimmunewellness.com/could-exercise-intolerance-be-impacting-your-recovery/ I didn't have to look too hard for a link. q...
Rectal steroids..... q...
Remission is when one is OFF the steroids...not acquiesced symptoms while being on steroids. I've never seen anyone with 2 weeks top dosage and then tapering to remission. You're in a bad and...
I'm not a runner....but use common sense to not push your body beyond the point that IT has had enough long before you see the obvious symptoms. Stress is stress....we may logically be able to...
I never depend on the oral report....i want to see the entire pathology report. It defines the areas of biopsies and the results of each. If the mild inflammation is in the rectum...it would make...
FYI... A(H1N1) was definitely in the fall 2019 flu shot. q...
My GI doc said most everyone is deficient. I was at 5000 IU for many years...now down to 3000 IU. q...
What scares me is the new or resurgence of superbugs from the hypervigilant overdisinfecting by the common folk. There be a price for the insanity. q...
It's insanity at it's finest...best statement ever. q...
Not THE virus.....ANY virus. q...
Why would you want to fly? Trapped in an enclosed area with other people. If you do decide to fly...bring along a huge supply of toilet paper (no specific brand)..seems it's an extreme, but...
The mesalamine oral or rectal doesn't heal in a patchy manner in UC because of the way UC heals. CD probability...makes sense. q...
Idiot doctor...was the uceris on before enema or oral? q...
I would use them without question....but still ask for a new rx with refills if yiu are seeing they're helping. q...
Sounds like a hemorrhoid...pushing and straining can be because you still feel something in there and is a perceived need to come out. You can try hemmie suppositories. Adding fibre supplements and...
What meds are you on exactly? Can't see how the barium swallow would cause a flare. It sounds like you ARE still in a flare. q...
Interesting...seems not so coincidental. Good your symptoms are starting to wane. q...
It's most informative and supportive subjectively/objectively. q...
Firstly, find out what's going on in your gastro tract. Have you had CT or MRI? q...
Is it a full dosage pill or can you split it? Are you also taking calcium with the Vitamin D? How is it making your symptoms worse exactly? q...
I would suggest using the uceris enemas....can you take mesalamine suppositories? q...
A large amount of people have horrific hygeine. I observe it. The scary part is there are so many other things that can kill us as well, not hyped in the media. Just that this one is totally unknown...
I'm always in mental conflict but UC is good. Go figure. But, UC flaring, being sick, having to take meds, and having crappy idiot arsehole people in our lives who like blame it on our mental state...
Part of healing, and I would wager your inflammation is limited in the rectum. The butt rules this one, and will slow down the peristalsis. It also causes constant stomach discomfort and cramping for...
Novel idea of washing hands. q...
Since its specifically while blowing your nose, it might be a good idea to ask your GP to see if you have any sinus/ear inflammation issues to start...a sinus xray that would include ears is what...
Have you got an upper endoscopy appointment? If not, request one. As well, get checked for h.Pylori. q...
I guess no rx then. Will you be using it? q...
Sounds plausible. q...
I've been on it for 23 years. I still flare, albeit extremely mild, but my last 3 scopes have shown normal cellular structure compared to how they were many many years ago. Hmmm, I'll discuss that...
👍...
Good you're having more testing done. q...
I was told when I had my scope in June....Colyte has flavouring it. The one I had was pineapple. Lots of sweeteners in it....ugh. Maybe GoLytely is available in the US. q...
When did you stop the budesonide? You've been on nightly enemas since November? And what were your symptoms? How many times bms now and what consistency? If you just stopped the budesonide, I would...
I only do the gallon preps. GoLytely is discontinued from what I was told before my last scope and had to use Colyte...ugh. GoLytely is the only one without flavouring, so I'll have to check starting...
I think hormone testing is a good idea...curious if you're on birth control? q...
Useeder...What is the level result? My b12 is 1200 - 1400ish continually. I do have autoimmune liver disease, so we're assuming that's possibly why. q...
I suggest both upper and colon scopes. Get checked for h. Pylori. When are you having it done? q...
