You need a c-scope to see what's actualy going on. Its possible you have a hemorrhoid that's irritated by inserting the suppository. When was your last scope? q...
You need to have access to the actual pathology results. The page should state your clinical data (your initial or suspected diagnosis and why the scope), how many biopsies taken and from what...
What other meds are you on for UC? I hope you are requesting a referral to a rheumatologist anyway despite the waiting time. You could skip the pred and try Celebrex. q...
Mike...what is SRB? Tx q...
Yes, that's what it seems, 😔 I'm glad you were checked for PBC. Hope you likenthe new GI...is he also a liver specialist? Re the URSO...awesome it helps with the itching. You should be on optimum...
What meds are you on at this point? And what are you willing to use? Would you consider the 5ASA oral and rectal regimen that I'm on? Not meaning occasionally, however. q...
Define digested...unless one chews and regurgitates and rechews...maybe. Try not to get hung up on one food and fear the healing process. Not all types of foods are "digested". Plus it's a type of...
Mushy is improvement from where you were...yay! I agree with taking probiotics, but multi strains...as well as a fibre supplement. q...
Please ask for a copy of your pathology report...not the docs visual report. Let us know the results as per the pathology. UC doesnt spare the sigmoid and other areas in a flare...coulds more Crohns...
SN...waiting for it 😁 q...
CC...because it's spam advertising. q...
I don't think it's an isue with the med as much as it is that your acidity is too high. Since it's a mechanical dysfunction, the goal would be to lower the acidity with meds, diet or both. Is Rinvoq...
If a cure were only that affordable! q...
It has a redirected link to ExtremelyFrustrating 😊...I meant ExtremelyInfuriating...
She could still do an AMA test... q...

Award for poop shapes? q...
SN and FG...think you nailed them. I remember Red (sherry) labeled one as soft serve that I still use. Cow plops is one I describe...so in the Animal Poo category. Perfect coils/snake coils is...
I'm always here...😁 Switchingnfrom Effexor XR to Pristiq...first one today and anticipating possible side effects. 2 hours in and so far ok...🤣 q...
Wth...GI refuses you rectal meds? Even steroid? q...
My B12 went up to 1400 around 10 years after my liver enzymes climbed. I was taking the same multi since 1987 that has a very small amount of B12. I do have PBC liver disease, so that seems to be the...
Explain in depth the no on rectal meds, for I dont remember. q...
Why is it that you need the test? q...
The bouts of constipation are indicative of inflammation severity and/or location when flaring. Definitely add foods that can help soften stool and/or stool softeners. During this time, I suggest...
Re on higher dosage...that's dr rx, not on their own. 4g is 4g. Much would depend on the dosage of each pill or granules, plus efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery system. q...
4800mg/4.8g is the max from what I've read. However, there were some on higher dosage of oral, but don't remember who. Are you also in rectal mesalamine? q...
Makes no sense since it's not a proven fact. I still have mine over 34 plus years of UC diagnosis, and flares have improved over the years with dealing with flares earlier and earlier by increasing...
I'm not getting the bivalent since I had Covid. Plus, the variants in it arent even what's around, as I understand. How is covid doing at this point...we don't hear a lot about it, because if the...
TBlock...I know nothing about biologic and ilk medications. I am shocked to hear a medication would be ceased when in medical remission and to see how a patient would respond. Seems like a wait and...
That's good...what exactly were the results? q...
Curious when your last c-scope was. My concern for you would be continual simmering inflammation that many times has no symptoms. q...
Castor oil was used as a bowel prep for tests, and I did it once, being a most disgusting experience. Why would you want to use it as a perceived treatment for UC, bleh. You're flaring...are you on...
I assume you're meaning salicylates and not aspirin. Imuran is an immunosuppressant medication that does not contain any salicylates from what I read online. q...
What's the date on the enemas? Dont wait too long...easy treatment . Let us know how your butt fares 😕 q...
Fairly bad rectal pain with orevious constipation...could be inflammation. Oral mesalamine won't deal with that, however, if it does continue, start the enemas. I think it's a good plan to stay on...
Thread might have been deleted. q...
Are you still on the granules? Ask the GI for the enemas. q...
Chicken guilt...I can understand that. Beware the screeching winds, for they may be back to haunt you 😵💫 Glad you're safe. q...
Not so bad? You should have had a c-scope. First request of yours should be that. q...
Ah, I was hopeful 😕 q...
Shocking no c-scope! Be your own advocate...and I agree with you getting a new GI. q...
Did you happen to eat anything different the day or two before your trophy poop? Hoping another will be presented soon. Of course, not every day is perfection...you'll run out of room to put your...

Yeah...like the perfect accomplishment! 😆 q...
I started with every 3 years, then two and now every 1.5. The time adjusted from 3 to 2 was around the 20 year mark. Five years ago I started 1.5... I would never have done every 5 regardless. q...
Do a search here...a few have used and are using nicotine patches. Remember...no cure, by the way. q...
I've never fasted, but certainly did cut out foods that caused me discomfort and more gas/cramping. Two plus years before diagnosis, an obvious first diarrhea caused a weight loss of 17 pounds. I...
Fasting as a choice won't help inflammation... but as Keith mentioned, most would use it as output control, especially during a flare. q...
Hi Joanna...sucks you're back with gut issues. I hope it's something that can be treated quickly. If it is a flare...hopefully a new med will help get it under control. Of course, in the meantime,...
Thanks Susie...I can relate to falling. I'm sure some of my issues are from the many times it's happened. I call it Body Shaping by Heather 🙄 I'll update re my next appt. I don't plan on going for...
