Metamucil For Constipation/Proctitis

Add that not all fibre is created equal. There are many kinds of fibre I won't eat because of discomfort. Some symptoms are also misunderstood as are food symptoms and action in the digestive tract....

UC and scar tissue

If one develops scarring from continual inflammation, it means that the mucosal and submucosal layer and its cellular architectural structure is destroyed. It doesn't go back to normal from there. In...

Asacol enema 1g

Yes...2g daily is safe. Some have used used the 4g enemas 2x daily. Regarding your why question....who knows. I've suggested them in most of my posts since 2003 and many have had to request them....

Does this type of bleeding happen only with hemmies?

Good you went to have it looked at. I've never used flagyl. I'm wondering if there is a topical antibiotic that could be used in the anus instead as another option? q...

Metamucil For Constipation/Proctitis

You will know soon enough if it causes you grief by taking too much too quickly...it can always be adjusted. Remember that limited rectal inflammation can cause constipation, so can too much fibre....

Metamucil For Constipation/Proctitis

The gummies contain inulin and other ingredients I wouldn't take on a regular basis. I use the capsules (right after meals only) which are just psyllium husk. Regardless...point of using fibre...

Ulcerative Colitis
Does this type of bleeding happen only with hemmies?

The dripping would most likely be from something else...hemmie or fissure. Ask your GI to send you to an anorectal specialist or ask him specifically to put you on meds to treat them. So frustrating...

rectal or oral medicine

The coating isn't what would colour the water. I don't know what mesalamine oral you're taking. Is it brown? You can drop a pill in water for a day and see if the coating colour is enough to...

Blood in stool

OK...I've never had a FCP test, and from what I read and as per my GI, mild rectal inflammation isnt really registered on that test. Ive not bled in at least 15 years with a flare, but I do have...

Ulcerative Colitis

Not from the coating. It is just stool that is still watery and soft enough to colour the water. Do you still have the enemas available? q...

did you notice anything when you have used the probiotic it is improved or make worst your symptoms?

I misunderstand how you would think it a cure. If it were, we would all be on them and never have it again. Treatment doesnt equate to cure unless it was a curable disease. No cure...but treatment as...

What foods do you eat to avoid constipation?

In mid to late afternoon, I have hummus, unpeeled apple, raw baby carrots, and mixed fibre crackers (now is the Crunch Master Multigrain rice crackers). I also have an orange in the morning with...

Good on the supps. Regarding remission...it's a maintenance state for most of us, and a slippery slope regarding recognising symptoms that arent quite obvious to tell us things are awry. It took me...

Hydrocortisone steroid enemas/suppositories

1 Wish...Any measurement of UC/UP involvement is from the very end of rectum and above. Anal canal is about 3 - 5 cms. At that junction (bottom of rectum/and in anal canal) can be internal hemmies...

Hi Wish...yes, long-term continual use of steroid rectals can cause more fragility in the rectum. As stated in your other thread, it's definitely probable that if you have a hemmie, you are nicking...
