Everyone here seems so calm about the question, but I was shocked - 6 inches? thats seems dangerously long I would freak out if it came out 2 inches! I hope the OP went to the doctor and everything...
Thanks guys for the responses! You relieved me.....
Hi, I had my J-pouch construction on Feb 10, still have not scheduled takedown due to an open wound from surgery which has to close on it's own. I've had Wound VAC for the last month and half, and...
Funny because in my case my loop ileo was smaller than my end ileoby about a 1/4 of an inch...
Yes, everything went as planned and I did have the surgery yesterday. I feel that this surgery was less painful than the first (possibly because the first time I wasn't given the option of a...
Hi everyone, I'm scheduled for J-pouch construction surgery tomorrow (step 2 of 3, sub-total colectomy was on September 16) and Saturday morning I woke up with a bad cold, symptoms are runny nose and...
Thats funny. I'm also scheduled for surgery (j-pouch construction) on the 10th at Cornell! Funny you mention that, I found an extension cord helpful connected to the IV pumps, that way I was able to...
Hi everyone, I'm looking for an naturopathic/holistic doctor to help me deal with a bad flare (this is in addition to my regular GI who has recently put me on the dreaded Remicade). It obviously has...
Thanks, will give those a try. Do you suggest emptying out the whole enema at once?...
Or suppository, I'm having this exact issue currently flaring and can't hold down canasa suppositories....
Depends how bad the flare is, like how often are you having bm's? If its too frequent you might not be able to hold down the enemas....
Good question, didn't post enough information. I'm in school, my life is pretty normal, symptoms are under control about 2bm's a day, number 6 on the bristol chart (which is what i'm trying to...
Hi, I have researched the topic I'm about to write about using the search, but didn't find much results. So here goes Shortly after I was diagnosed with UC I tried the SCD in combination with Asacol....
Probiotic, I was wondering why more people don't do what you did, since even after a j-pouch surgery the average bms per day is between 6-8 which I find hard to call a 'cure', I guess it has to do...
Here's an interesting article on the topic http://www.fibermenace.com/gutsense/transition.html , according to this guy our poop is pretty much normal! At first I got excited, what could be a better...
What is it like to take a drug that ties you down geographically, I mean did you ever want to travel abroad for more than 4 - 8 weeks? For me, this is one of the strong reasons that i'm so opposed to...
Yes, I was referring to the Blue Diamond Almond Milk, which as you have said is not SCD legal. I would imagine the liquid calcium supplement is easily absorbed by the body. (a bit more expensive...
Another point I remembered, calcium comes in 2 forms either calcium citrate or calcium magnesium, they are both fine, however some prefer the calcium magnesium as it gives you both calcium citrate sl...
Yes, I definitely would take a supplement to reach the 1000mg daily intake, any supplement is fine Costco or wherever you shop. Another option is almond milk which has 455mg calcium per cup. Together...
To put it in short, Budesonide is not a new drug and from my understanding its a steroid with effects like pred. However Uceris is a new drug although its based on on Budesonide it has...
Deltaforce, do you know if its still possible to join this trial?...
My doctor asked me if I smoke, I told her 'no, but I probably should start' she said that it might be something to try out like nicotine patch or the like....
Thanks for the quick responses. When you mention remission what exactly is meant, is it symptom based or as far as mucosal Healing? I'll be more specific with my question, right now as far as...
Andy, I'm not sure why my sig didn't appear below the post, but here it is: M 22, UC diagnosed April 2012 - no remission yet currently on 6MP 50mg daily, Uceris 9mg, Canasa 3x daily, Cortifoam 2x...
Hi, I have been wondering if anyone has successfully gained remission of severe UC without the use of serious meds like Remicade, Imuran etc. (I consider 6MP also to be a serious med), with just...
Interestingly enough, I find that acne only kicks in when I hit the lower numbers on prednisone, like 15mg and can stay until a few after completely stopping the medication, by then should clear away....
This forum has been really helpful for me, i've been following for quite some time already, however never found it necessary to post since I took advantage of the Search feature. I was wondering, has...
