The gas and gurgling is likely the Rowasa. It's a liquid so it's coating your colon. There's sometimes an urge to poop it out, which would allow relief, but do your best to keep it in--the whole...
Sassysback, No I didn't stop after two weeks. I started Rowasa August 1 and have dedicated myself to them every night up to today and will continue to take them. I'm hoping maybe early next year I...
That's great news! Any little bit of help is..well...helpful! I started August 1 and take them every night to this day. So I've been on them for a little over three months and going strong--no...
Hey everyone, I wrote a little bit about this before but if you're in a position where perhaps you have left-sided UC (rectum / sigmoid) and your GI thinks that Rowasa might help--don't give up!...
Hey there, I'm sorry you feel you're sucking so much. But it's not your fault. The best you can do is continue to advocate for your health which, even by reaching out and writing a blog post, is a...
Hey there, Curious if anyone had thoughts or experiences with constant stomach noises. I'm currently in remission (with the help of nightly Rowasa, Lialda, Imuran, & Inflectra) and over the last few...
About a year ago, I was casually discussing that I had UC with a friend. And he mentioned that his sister had Crohn's, and after a long and tough struggle, doctors found that it was Prozac (maybe...
Hey there, I've been in a moderate flare since the start of May. I'm currently taking Lialda, Imuran, Inflectra and was on a long 40mg taper of Prednisone. Nothing worked until last week my doctor...
I am in the same boat! I just started enemas last night. My doctor said that since my colitis is mostly all in rectum, enemas might do the trick if I use them religiously. In people's experience who...
Yes. My results indicate severe inflammation in the rectum only. 2-3cm severe I think at the very end and then moderate in the distal rectum. I think that's it. It's slowly returning to normal flare...
Hey there, Curious what people's experiences have been after a colonoscopy. I've been mid-flare and had one on Thursday and I feel like I still have loose stools. Getting a little better though. Do...
Hey Jocelyn, Looks like we are going through something similar. I'm on 15mg of Prednisone and have been a long-time anxiety sufferer and fear the Predn may be making it worse. I'm also experiencing...
Hey S.C. Thanks for your response. It's a comfort to know that it's likely not a sign of anything serious (after all my doctors said the same). While I'm still experiencing it, it actually is not as...
Hey there-- Currently on a 40mg taper of Pred and at 15mg but been on it for about 2.5 months. Every day for the last week I've been experiencing this sort of brain fog. It's quite scary. Almost like...
Hey there, I've had pretty bad anxiety my whole life as well as panic attacks. Last week was really stressful (just dealings with life, work, and an ulcerative colitis flare). And for the past few...
