Thanks for the suggestion on the signature (hopefully I figured that out), been meaning to do that for a long time. And I recognize certainly that there could be a number of factors that affect my...
I'm hesitant to raise this topic but it's really starting to take a toll on me and my relationship. I feel that ever since my last flare up began, about a month ago, that my sex drive has really been...
So I'm hoping to get a little better understanding of your experiences with diet. Each time I raise the topic with my doctor he says that diet isn't something that really will affect my ulcerative...
I'm taking entocort 3x a day, 3 pills each time (9/day) I've been on it for about a month now since I flared up real bad. I'm on it in concert with Lialda and Cortisol. Finally got the doc to...
Well, I'll give a quick update (not sure if anyone is interested but here goes). I was able to secure an appointment with my general practitioner the same day I called so I figured at worst I'm out...

I appreciate the good advice so far. To clarify, yes that's probably the right number of times I'm going the bathroom (~12x/day). I guess though while there's blood it doesn't seem to worry me. Maybe...
I've been under treatment by my gastroenterologist for over a year now. We initially got things under control with steriods and then steady diet of colozol. About 2 months ago though my symptoms...
Can anyone offer advice about where to start with probiotics and supplements? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything out there and all the different choices available. I guess I'm curious more...
