Well, I just wanted to let everyone knmmow that today, I passed gas, and ONLY gas!!! It's been a while since I've been able to do that. Being a truck driver that travel all over the country, UC can get in the way of working a lot. When I'm in a flare, I have to pull my truck over a lot and act like a dog, and just pop a squat. There is nothing worse than being stuck in traffic and knowing you only have 2-3 min before you have to go. Many times I have just not made it to the side of the road, or to the restroom, and have had a lot of accidents in my pants. It sucks, but, this is what I do for a living. But, just today, I passed gas, and I was confident it would only be gas, and that's all it was!! I am close to being in remission, i'd say about 90%, but it's been like this for about a month or so. I ran out of probiotics, and I need to get some more. I am looking for some ideas on this.

Isn't it great to just fart when you want to? ;)

What probiotic were you taking? If you feel like the one you were taking worked, just stick with it!

Insane that must be being a truck driver. darn. id be running over people in the truck trying to get to a head. Ya fruit and to just fart is RAD. Ive taken VSL#3. seemed to help. Im taking Align probiotic now. i think its working.

Yay for you! LOL, how many places in the world could you share that a fart was just a fart and have people excited for you!?
When symptoms begin to calm down and we get a glimmer of "normal", isn't it just wonderful? I celebrate for you!

Trust me, I can relate. I remember when I could never trust a fart. It is nice to be able to pass gas freely again! congratulations. I hope you keep getting better.

Yup, as THEREAREMIRACLES wrote a while back, remission is "when you can fart without something else flying out into your pants". Congratulations on getting nearer to the goal!!!!! / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.])

Yep. I remember that feeling of finally being able to fart again. It's a great feeling :)

My granddad used to have a truck company. He had three refrigerated trucks. My dad used to drive one of the trucks. He would haul frozen foods for Stouffers. I would go on trips with him in the summer and ride in the cab. I sure do miss those days.

Yep...amazing how a dry fart is so rewarding.  Yes Doctor...I for sure am improving because I now have dry farts....LOL!  I'll bet it's on a check list somewhere..
