You most certainly can burn there. I have "dumping syndrome" where the gallbladder dumps a lot of bile down the intestines. Does it start to come out as yellow fluid after an explosive episode? I...
That's so awful that you deal with it every day, my heart goes out to you. I haven't tried a flush, thanks for the tip....
Hello, I've been a member for years but I haven't posted on here in a long time. For years I've been having bile diarrhea, but it has escalated to being a constant source of worry and misery. Last...
I also have the pressure and the pin pokes and it drives me CRAZY!!!!!!! Especially at night, and then I get paranoid that what if there is something there and I fart and then it will come out. I...
I was already overweight and the prednisone packed on another 30 pounds. I am trying to lose and have lost just a few pounds so far. I work in a public library and patrons think nothing on commenting...
HAHAHAHH I've farted three times reading this thread!!!!!!! GUILTY!!!! I used to have terrible gassiness at work, thankfully once I got off Aciphex that got better. However! I have my gassy days and...
I have this problem with Colcort. Talk to your dr, my dr allows me to cut back on the dosage if I start getting constipated....
Dang I am in a bad spot, am I in a flare? seems so. Already swore off chocolate, now it looks like my weekly treat of Sonic has to go too. Seriously, what if I run out of food I can eat? about all I...
I very depressingly admit defeat. I had already last year made the decision to only eat minimal amounts but evidently I have to quit it all. So so sick this morning, over and over and I drug myself...
I have Rosacea and when I was on prednisone it actually cleared the Rosacea right up. So that was a weird reaction because I know steriods can really break out your face. Then, when I came off...
ouch! hugs...
It gave me real severe watery diarrhea with pain and cramping....
I'm so sorry, IBS shouldn't cause bleeding. It took me 7 years to get diagnosed, so frustrating! What finally turned things around was changing to a new GI in town. She saw the frustration and didn't...
Butterfly did you call you dr? Maybe they could try something else, like my dr tried Entercort after the colazal was a no go, it was less diarrhea on that....
Hi, I cannot take any drugs with mesalamine like Asacol and Colazal. It causes severe pain and watery diarrhea. What my dr put me on was prednisone and then once I was off that Colcort, which is a...
Hi, I am one of the people who cannot take Colazal or Asacol, I have a terrible reaction to mesalamine. Lots of pain and watery explosive diarrhea. Talk to your GI for sure. Hope you find the...
Well I made it through the day, but had to pee, a lot! grrrrrrr Got up early and of course no bowels were moving! Took the immodium cause I knew I needed help. Started pooping after the Immodium! Had...
No sedation! I know! I want sedation. It's like that song, I wanna be sedated. What to do...what to do... I guess up my enema tonight that will help maybe keep things firmer. Then, get up early and...
Thank you! Elevated enzymes, abnormal ultrasound and positive for autoimmune hepatitis antibodies....
I have to have a liver biopsy at 9am. I am expected to lay absoutely still for four hours. I am saying as my mantra "I will make it without a bed pan" I have done a lot of things, but never the bed...
Thanks for the replies! I spoke with the radiologist today about taking Immodium ahead of time. He said I would have to lay for four hours and cannot move during that time. He also said he would take...
Now they suspect AIH due to the ASMA, LFTs are staying up and ultrasound looked fatty. So the biopsy is thursday. Please someone tell me: How long do you have to lay still and do you mean absolutely...
I feel guilty because I don't usually go to gatherings, especially after work. Getting through the day is just all I can do, in addition to squeezing in shopping errands. Then, I always have monday...
(((HUGS))) to you. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I don't have any info to help you, other than you might try posting on the Hepatitis board on Healingwell. I too am starting on the...
Hi, I had the same problem and have been on a bloodwork rollercoaster ever since. My AST and ALT were elevated and my prothombin time was too long. Also, my Vitamin D level was non-existant. Let's...
Thanks, not as bad today....
Man oh man, the pain today. This level of pain related to a period is new. I get the diarrhea and it's like my colon is spasming to go and the muscles are cramping tight against it. Finally has...
I'm so sorry for what your going through (hugs)...
The results should come back within a few days. Whenever I've had to keep a sample chilled, I bought a cheap styrofoam cooler and put frozen bottles of water in there with it. Also, I found that...
Thanks! UPDATE: Ultrasound shows liver at normal size with no lesions, ducts look fine in size and flow. Appears to be fat infiltration or hepatocellular disease. Gallbladder looked fine, except for...
Well, when I was in college, every dang time I ate at their "fancy" campus restaurant, I got sick immediately. I do believe it was the salad, because we would start with salad and I would fill up...
Thanks for the help!...
UPDATE: Took test for Viral Hep today, scheduled ultrasound What is elevated: AST 55 Range 0-40 ALT 84 Range 0-40 Prothrombin 17.8 Range 8.7-11.5 APTT 72 Range 22-36 Vitamin D <7 Range 32-100 Any...
Hello, I am new to this forum, but not healingwell. I have crohn's. My GI has been very concerned about swelling in my legs, feet and colon. I saw one GP who called it just fluid retention, after no...
Yes OMG the colcort is slowing me up. It's like all day there is more, just a bit at a time....
Wishing you a good scope!...
It gets easier after time. I can hold them better now without the urge to expel, but once the gas comes I have to run and release. I have actually cut my usage way back because I am getting "slowed"...
OMG ewww. Now I am a farm girl and I know all about cow manure, but human? ICK I once had to visit a sewage treatment plant in college and they would do all these things to turn it into fertilizer,...
I'm so glad that you got that thing out, ouch. Doctors are SO very quick to write off everything as IBS. I switched GI's and my old GI just got fixed in his mind it was IBS and nothing else and never...
I have used it, it really helps some people. However, you have to really monitor your use and make sure that you don't get constipated. They pulled Lotronex off the shelf before because people who...
Also, I wanted to add that I have trouble with C with Immodium and the Immodium AD seems to go easier on my system. So, you may want to try that as well....
I feel for you, I've been dealing with the same thing, test after test and nothing. The nurse will say it so cheerfully too, you're NORMAL like yay, isn't that good? And all you want to do is scream...
I've tried it and for me it didn't work. I thought that it would slow me down and help, but for me it didn't, seems like I just kept going. Also, it made my hands swell up....
Have a great time...
Green color could also indicate things are moving through way too fast. Definitely see a doctor. Take care, hugs....
I don't dare hold anything in my hands because I am bad about dropping things into the toilet. I admit if I am alone I sing and talk to myself. LOL If someone is home, then I run through errands in...
thanks Twinstride, hugs....
Hi, I have not been diagnosed with CF, but my GI has mentioned it often as something to rule out. Anyway, I stopped by the board, I'm always looking for good information. I post a lot on the IBS and...
Well, each person experiences things differently. For me, Metamucil helps me because it binds up my malabsorbed fat. It makes it a lot easier to wipe and helps it from being so sticky. But it depends...
You don't want to be in the public while taking a prep. You won't have hardly any control. The bms will come fast and looser and eventually they'll be liquid. If you have to prep during the day, stay...
