I was able to convince the owner of the nutrition house in Market Mall to carry them, pricey yes but they work for me and there are so many varietys out there I'd rather pay than to keep...
Thanks for you replies. You know I had taken probiotics consistantly for more than 2 years, but when we returned from vacation and I found I was pregnant, and all my bleeding had stopped I just never...
Hello, It's been a long time since I was here as I have been feeling great since July...something I've credited to my getting pregnant! No blood no nothing, went off of my enemas, and now am only...
Hi Wishful, Sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time trying to get well, and concieve. I too have proctitis, just about 5 inches, and was having big time bleeding issues. My doc also wanted...
Hey pb4, how much snow have you accumulated at your place? I cannot believe this weather! I had finally put the lounge chairs and such out on the deck last weekend thinking we were in the clear, and...
Well, we here in Calgary are in the middle of heavy snowfall (-6), and it's supposed to last for days! Last weekend it was +20 and beautiful...of course this is my weekend off...
I normally don't suffer from "D", but the last time I had issues I took some immodium and then I couldn't go for days! I was actually starting to get worried...don't think I'd take it again just from...
A pharmacist told me the other day that you should be looking for the DHA and EPA content...the combination should be about 600 mg to be effective and help with inflammation. Was glad to get a hold...
Thanks so much ...I really appreciate the support. You're right things are never as bad as they first seem, and there is always someone who has it worse...I just keep reminding myself :) Until next...
Thanks lion! I know that I shouldn't be worrying so much, and just try to calm my mind until I know the biopsy results, and then try to deal with whatever it is that is going on with me. Sometimes...
Hello there, I'm usually on the UC page...but I find myself facing a new "fun" thing with my body! Since Dec. I've had really bad swollen purple painful toes, was referred to a derm. and she simply...
Sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time. I've been on cortifoam, and on salofalk enemas after...if I had a choice...I'd be asking for the enemas! They are such a quick relief especially if...
Thanks Dakotagirl and Squattie! This isn't fun since in the beginning I was under the impression that the Chilblains were happening because my toes were cold and that was it! Now I have to try and...
Hello there, I really don't post a lot, but I do read a lot of what you guys are discussing, and just want everyone to know how much I appreciate and respect this group! It can bring a lot of comfort...

Hey just wondering if anyone has ever noticed if prenatal vitamins make your guts start to feel unwell, almost like you're starting to flare? I've just started taking them (10 days or so) and have...
Hello, I also have proctitis, and my GI started me on 5 ASA enemas first before she wanted to try steroid ones. Lucky me the 5 ASA have been working. I had been bleeding for almost 6 months, and saw...
O.K so I have a question, I had a colonoscopy done on Monday, and even though I'm going in to see her on the 11th to discuss bipsies and such, she gave me some pictures (even though i woke up during...
Pico Salex...2 little pouches. You mix one with water, it's about half of a coffee mug, tastes just fine, fizzy and a little citrus...2nd one later in the day. I did have to fast for 2 full...
I know that it's important to tell them. I was on Prednisone over a year ago, and they wanted a certain amount of time to go by once I was off of it before they'd clean my teeth. I also had wanted...
Sorry that you are scared, bleeding is scary. I've been bleeding since August, and I thought that it was a lot, but all of my bloodwork keeps coming back ok...so I've stopped freaking out about it....
Thanks everyone for your thoughts! I did go to emerg this afternoon just to make sure someone checked me out before we leave. All my bloodwork is good, they also did x-rays, and those were good too!...
I'm on Salofalk, which like Pentasa is a 5 asa...my tablets are a yellow color, and i get the same purplish color on the underside of my seat as well...so it has to be some sort of reaction, not the...

Me too...Thanks :)...
I'm very happy this morning...I have a referral to a new GI, and my appt is for November 16th! I was worried that I'd have to wait much longer because I was told I couldn't be considered urgent since...
Thanks for all of the support /community/emoticons/smile.gif Keah...I have been taking my suppositories(Salofalk) again, and they aren't doing a thing for it. I know in the past they would take care...
Thanks everyone...it is nice to hear from a few people since I've never had this happen before, I'lll admit it's a little scary. I am positive that I don't have hemmorriods. I honestly can't believe...
Thanks Gail :) Funny, no one else has gone through this?...
Hey everyone, I have been bleeding since August 11...2 months tomorrow! I'm feeling well enough now, but seriously, how long is too long? It's starting to worry me because it's several times a day,...
