Wow, it's awesome that you are so active. Do you need to have a 2 piece system to wear the belt? I can't imagine trying to wear a one piece system sideways....
Hi Poucher, Do you use the one piece or two piece system? I have only been using the one piece, but want to try out the two piece sensura set up as well....
Anybody tried the new ostomy product from Coloplast; the Sensura Mio? Just got a few samples of them and wanted to hear some feedback. I'm thinking about using these over the regular Sensura pouches....
Thanks for suggestions. It seems a lot of you tuck the pouch in. I've always been wearing mine out above my pants. I worry about the pouch being constricted by my pants and not being able to fill up...
This may seem like an odd question but I am new! How do you all wear your ostomy bags under your clothes? Do you tuck the pouch into your pants, let it hang out? The reason I ask is because I have my...
Thank you all for the replies!! Looks like I have some testing to do. My stoma is located just to the right of my belly button and about two inches down. A couple of you mentioned the Brava Strips...
Hi All, So I'm about 3 months out from my colectomy and ostomy/stoma creation. I am feeling very well and have been quite active. However I am having some issues with my pouch system, it doesn't seem...
Thank you all for the comments and support. I guess on the positive side I am kind of killing two birds with one stone, so to speak, getting rid of the colitis and the cancer. I called the surgeons...
Hi Group, I am 34 and have lived with UC for the last 13 years and have been in and out of flares. My symptoms have been moderate to severe for a long time. Recently I went on Imuran which has worked...
Thank you all for the kind words and support. I am hoping this was caught real early, but the April Colonoscopy was my first one in a number of years, so I'm not sure how long it's actually been...
I guess I'm writing looking for some advice or support, maybe somebody else has gone through this?? I am 34 years old and was diagnosed with UC in 2006, but had symptons for 4-5 years prior. I had a...
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going to talk to my doc and see about getting it out. Seems like it's a pretty easy procedure....
Kazbern, My UC is doing better as compared to how it has been in the past, however I still have some inflammation. I am seeing some good improvement since I went on 200 mg's of Imuran a few months...
Hi Kazbern, My UC is actually doing pretty good. Haven't had a real flare in some time. I take 200 mg of Imuran and am on asacol also....
Hi All, I have ulcerative colitis, was diagnosed 9 years ago. I have been hospitalized twice in the last 9 months for severe pain in my abdomen, and it is coming from my appendix. They have treated...
Thanks for all the advice. I am going down to 50 mg from 100 mg. The first day I took it with no sick feeling. The second day I felt sick again, so I think I will just tough it out and take it before...
Thanks for the feedback Feelingbetter. Would you take it at night to avoid some of the nausea? Also anyone have an opinion on taking with food or on an empty stomach?...
I have not tried zofran..... what is it? Anti Nausea med?...
Hi All, Well I started Imuran about 7 weeks ago and it has really been working great for me. I got out of a really bad flare and am tapering off Pred, which I have been on for over a year. I even...
Hi, Thanks for the info. I started on Monday (22nd of October). I'm at 50 mg. I have to go in for blood work on the 31st of October to see how things are doing. Should be good!...
Hi All, So my new GI Doc has started me on Imuran since I was having lots of trouble tapering off prednisone. Quick question for those with knowledge. He prescribed me Imuran but when I went to pick...
