Brisket BABE: I am very interested in the LEAP testing and I am going to ask my gi dr about it on friday when i see her.
Quincy: because i switched from the rowasa to the hydrocort enemas i wonder if my colon misses/needs the rowasa? the canasa supps are a good idea
insofla: i added the slippery elm, and i take jarrows sacch boulardi probiotioc. i took vsl3ds for a,most a year, ran out and after 3 months of no vsl or any probiotic saw no difference. taking the jarrows as an insurance if it is doing something in there
UPDATE: so, totm ended. I have been eating healthy/bland/safe for past few days. Today 3 bms, some urgency, no blood, cross fingers, then 4th bm, pain and a couple blood clumps. plus major heartburn, plus tenderness from my breastbone to my bellybutton (may start sepereate thread on that). I see my GI on friday. I may do a 2 week course of pred (only the second time in a 20 year hx of uc) i am going to talk to her about the food sensitivity testing. she always always always blows off food issues though. says if it bothers you dont eat it. well i dont know what bothers me !!!! its too hard to isolate. but as far as meds go she is a good gi. she never pushes pred, is all for rectals and suggested the vsl due to studies. i feel strongly though that if she blows it off i have someone in mind to go to for a second opinion, someone who always gets voted as top gi in the local magazines....
