Great explanation....it puts how hard this disease is to treat and how different we all are in perspective.

Benny I am right there with you, willing to try whatever, and listening to all, hoping for something that can turn this around. I hate the thought of meds for life, but I hate how I feel more. I will get there, I will find what works for me, and so will you.

God it's so frustrating to be suffering like that esp w the rectal pressure. I personally got worse bleeding from mesalamine enemas and they also made my haemorrhoids much worse, i remember the rectal pressure all too well. I can take oral mesalamine but for some reason not rectals; my guess is that the preservatives '-sulphite' in them irritates my colon since i react to sulphites in food as well.

As far as diet is concerned, you can try going gluten free and dairy free for a couple of week. The more strict is paleo diet.

Personally, gluten makes me bleed, while dairy gives me that 'backed up feeling' ~tenesmus.

Hi guys,
i changed my screen name, wanted something goofy for this mess. I. am trying to find humor anywhere i can.

update: Okay, I am noticing a trend. I feel like crap in the morning thn slowly improve around 11 I can function somewhat...

The cortifoam is much better, I can keep it in at least. I hope it works! Had solid stools for two days, back to diarrhea again, I hoping this is a two steps forward one step back!

I started a food and poop journal to try and figure out if there is anything setting me off.

I am on my way, and pumped to get this under control!
