Thank you quincy :) I definitely agree that my body has been through many changes since the pregnancy, however, my hair loss that i dealt with around 3 months postpartum, was definitely related to my pregnancy...the hair breakage seems to be from the lialda b/c ever since stopping the lialda, my hair that has broken seems to be growing in again, thankfully. I have also stopped blow drying or doing any other damage.
I was on 1.2 gm of Lialda...1 pill in morning and 1 in evening. I am on 1000mg of Canasa in the evening. Ever since stopping the Lialda, all my symptoms have returned. Rectal bleeding, urgency, and frequent bowel movements with some pain the rectal area. When I was diagnosed in '07, my UC was only 1" inside my rectum. This is why so many previous doctors had missed it. I only had colonoscopies so they passed right by. Since then, I feel like it has progressed.
I really feel like the asacol is the cause of my sleeplessness last night. I am also very dizzy and nauseous this morning.
I am glad my GI wants to schedule a colonoscopy soon so we can see how much this has progressed.
Do you feel like the probiotics have helped you throughout this? I am thinking of asking my GI about them. Anything to help me b/c I have a 10 month old and not only is this limiting my life, but now hers.
BTW, my doc's logic is the same as yours! Maybe we have the same one?
