I have relied on energy bars for travel & emergency situations when I wasn't sure I could find good food for me. You have to be careful because they are often loaded with refined sugar. I usually use...
Hi all Does anyone know about plans for generic Asacol? I understand the patent is done July 2013, but there are disclaimers about whether or not other drug companies can start manufacturing a...
The Sulfa is "sulfameth/trimeoprim 800/160 tabs." I don't understand the dosage on this one. I take Culturelle daily, but I might double it while on the sulfa. Thanks a bunch...
Thanks for answering so quickly. Do you know if I should cut back on Asacol while taking the Sulfa? I'm currently taking 8 Asacol/day. I took the Sulfa last night and one Sulfa this morning and...
Is anybody taking both sulfa and Asacol? If so, what dosages? I'm juggling UC & UTI (urinary tract infections). It's a long story, but I'm going to try Sulfa again for the UTI, even though I had some...
I became much healthier after I stopped eating dairy and gluten. Now I can't imagine eating any other way. Maggie...
Hi friends, I've been gone a long time, and I decided to stop in for a visit. I stopped posting for personal reasons having nothing to do with the awesome people on this site. I went for several...

I thought I would start another thread since the last one was pretty old. Beth asked how old I was when I started with the coughing symptom. It started many years ago, when I was probably in my 30's...
Gee Nikool, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this at your age (or any age.) One thing my gastroenterologist told me is that it may take a couple of months for medication to work effectively....
Thanks Cathy, it's sort of all of the above. I have been bloated with water retention as well as the internal bloating (feeling like I need to burp). Protonix is a proton pump inhibitor, but I'm not...
Hi all, I'm new to posting on this forum. I usually hang out with the Ulcerative Colitis folks, though I read posts here from time to time. Much to my surprise, I had a GERD diagnosis a few months...
RE: previous post -- I agree with most of what you said, but aneurysm is probably not one of the probable diagnoses for most chronic heachache sufferers. It's possible, but very unlikely to still be...
I'm sorry sorry sorry, Isabelle. I know it feels hopeless sometimes. I don't think I've posted on here before. I'm active on the Ulcerative Colitis message board & thought I would take a look here...
