No, not taking any probiotic. IF this bronchitis does prove to be an infection and I need antibiotics.... Are there some names of ProBiotics anyone is familiar with to take, with the purpose of...
Thanks - so when UC'ers and Crohn'ers have an infection - do most just bite the bullet, take the antibiotic and enjoy the flare? Or do they wait it out and hope for the best? Yes, antibiotic may...
Hello, I am diagnosed with *some* form of colitis on account of my 1st flare a few months ago. Did a Sigmodiscopy and GI says it's "mostly Ulcerative" but "could be Crohn's". He said he wants my "gut...
Sorry for new thread- I should have written this previously. Before I knew I had chronic colitis - I was truly trying to eat healthier and one of those dishes was chobani yogurt combined with fresh...
I'm still waiting for full colonoscopy so I'm not sure if it's UC or Crohn's. But most ppl online are saying 'no' to fruits and veggies - so I'm worried about anti-oxidants though maybe right now,...
Thank you all for the replies, please keep it coming. IAmCurious mentioned some 'no' and 'yes' foods which when I read all over the net - it seems that everyone has different allowed foods and...
Hello everyone.... I'm 39 male, and here is a brief summary: *2011 - pain in gut. Emergency CT scan showed "swollen colon". Levaquin prescribed and pain gone in 3 days. *Colonoscopy 2011 -...
CA-CA thanks, well said. Weird. As a life-long member of the burger-steak-butter crowd, I've really done so much better the last 6 months. So many more fruits and veggies, so much less meat, egg...
I wonder how they're going to diagnose this. I really, really don't want to go thru mis-diagnosis over and again....
AlwaysSomething... Thanks for the tip. I think the probiotic is in my near future. I'm going to try meeting with my GI on a rush basis, depends on my luck getting a fast appointment. I guess I'll...
thank you gardener.... And I know this will just be an opinion, but I'll ask anyway.... If you were me, how many days would you wait to go to GI or emergency room if bowel movements were still...
Delta... Yes, I understand that "powdery" stool, and stool softener would not seek stool softener as a cure. I guess what I mean is, these little tiny powdery stools I'm getting for 4 days, are...
DeltaForce... Thanks for reply. I've not done the flax and others you mentioned. Basically, I've reduced red meat, increase fruits and veggies a lot. Been doing lots of shredded wheat and pears, and...
Think it would do harm to try a Metamucil OR stool softener? I always thought laxatives were simple: Take it, and poop. But now, JUST in case I have some Crohns, UC, or whatever....I'm worried that...
Thanks for reply! Keep them coming everyone please. On the 2nd opinion, does that mean showing the colonoscopy report to another doctor, OR *grrrrr* getting another colonoscopy done? Thanks!...
Hello everyone, and it's nice to find such an active and supportive board here. 1st off, I don't have UC (supposedly). I'm 36, and while not the worst health....I am overweight and have had a bad...
