Was a very bad girl! But..

I was a very bad girl yesterday. Had lunch at a place called Johnney Rockets. Had cheesey fries and a tuna melt. From there went to see the new James Bond movie. Had popcorn with extra butter. Finished it all! Normally I would have been done in with the Cheesey fries and the tuna melt. To my surprise ,nothing bothered me. Felt pretty good all day. Had to think what have I been taking that is different. Has to be the VSL#3 DS  . Been waiting to get approved to take Humira weekly instead of everyother week. This would be the second week when the Humira needed to be upped. Could taking the VSL#3 DS make a difference? HUM!!!!!

Now if you ate like that every day, I'd assume your stool would get looser from all the fibre and fat...but regardless. It's nice to hear you had a good day!

Maybe the vsl helped in slowing things down a bit....and you're healing, so not having UC symptoms.
q

can you make the choice to go back to every two weeks?

One day of food shouldn't make a decision....to me, this proves food isn't the issue for UC symptoms.

Could very well be the VSL

quincy, tried them all. They agreed with me. Never had a problem. Maybe I just need the mega amounts they put in The VSL#3 DS. Who knows. They had samples at GI's office of the non perscription one. Took it was ok with it. I asked for the scrip one . He said ok!!!! Why not try I said to myself! $50.00 for 3 months. Only taking half of a packet 450bill.

In some cases it does prove food isn't the issue, especially if said person is healed to handle it.

I can eat baked wheat products like chicken fingers in remission and flaring - yet I can't go near bread if I'm having issues.

Good for you! You need to enjoy life!
