I've been on it for about 6 weeks and am tapering off Pred (down to 1mg per day). I am much better now but am not sure if I can give the full credit to Apriso. I take 4 per day but found that my...
I was on it for about 3 months. It worked great for me and the just stopped cold. I spent the last year on Colazal which was ok but I went into a flare and it wasn't as effective. I'm now on Apriso...
Wow is right. He could have been more helpful by explaining his position on ionized water. Oh well....

I'm currently tapering and am at 7mg per day. I'm going down slowly about 1-2 mg per week. I hope to get off soon. I have to say the Pred really helped and there was a while that I felt great. Of...
I recently had a bone scan that showed osteoporosis from the prednisone. My GI told me to call my primary to get referred to someone and he referred me to a rheumatologist. I was wondering if anyone...
I need some perspective here. I am a 43 yr old male. I've started on 40mg of Pred in late May. I have tapered down to 10 mg per day. I am tapering at 1-2 mg per week. So, I've been on the Pred for...
I have had a lot of issues with burping/bloating, etc. My doctor shrugs it off. I also get boughts of acid reflux but 1 zantac usually takes care of it. I think it might have to do with how we...
Just had my c-scope yesterday and doc say that my lower colon is inflamed. I've been on Colazal for about a year plus mesalimine enemas. About a 1-2 months ago I had a bad flare and GI put me on a...

I'm on Colazal now after Lialda stopped working. I am always tired and still having some issues. I was wondering if anyone knew about this new drug. Thanks...
Thanks for all the feedback. I'll check into the Soy milk. I forgot to mention that I occasionally drink Snapple (Kiwi Strawberry). It's got a lot of sugar but it has not affects. I've had a hard...
Thanks. At least I'm not alone on this. I have used Lactaid but I'm afraid it will still give me bad D and cramps. I may try watering down some juice but that's not much of a choice. I can't stand...
Someone tell me they have or had this. I can't drink milk due to lactose. I can't drink fruit juices or lemonade or gatorade as the acid gives me heartburn and indigestion. I can't drink tea as the...
For what it's worth, I am kind of going thru the same thing. For about a week I've been running a low grade fever (99ish) on and off. I went to my GI last week. He took blood and urine tests. I saw...
I've been dealing with a "flare" for the last few weeks. I'm on Lialda and am taking 2 per day. I was at 4 but it stopped working. After a brief respit from everything, I went back to 2 per day. MY...
Man here too! Maybe we can start a Fantasy Football League since we're all on our computers!! Just kidding. Take care....
I have suffered from anxiety in the past. I have learned to manage it by not letting it control me. When you start to feel panicky, watch your breathing - take deep breaths in thru the nose and out...
I know I've read this on the forum but my search could not find anything. What should we use and avoid for basic pain relief (i.e. headaches, back aches, etc)? What tends to cause more problems than...
I've been using a mesalamine enema nightly with fairly good results. We had a long day yesterday and I fell asleep without using it. Today has been nothing but trouble. Lots of bathroom trips with...
I've been taking Lialda since Feb. I was on 4 pills per day (2 in AM/2 in PM) and it was working great. I always took with meals. After 3 months it just stopped working. My symptoms returned just...
Having read so many posts here about probiotics, I contacted my GI and he recommended this brand. Anyone have any experience with it? Are there any downsides or side effects from probiotics. I'm...
Hi. I've been a lurker for some time and thought I'd register. I have found a lot of great info here. I was originally diagnosed with UP about 3 years ago but had very mild symptoms. My Dr and I...
