+1 on the glutamine...
Glutamine, glutamine, glutamine! Please look into it. It has cured me....
On the same thing man. Feeling better than ever, though I don't subscribe to the raw lifestyle. You are 100% right about pastas. I love them, but I absolutely can't go near them....
Stopped taking my Asacol and 6mp. Despite taking my meds religiously I was still susceptible to flares. I have vastly changed my diet and lifestyle, getting much more exercise while dropping most...
hateuc, Cabbage juice was the WORST. I've made vegetable juices before with good results, but cabbage juice was just no fun. Guategirl, I would recommend it ;) And the glutamine I feel was a GREAT...
I went to Europe and back twice and both times had no probs taking my meds as long as I put the bottles in a zip lock bag....
Ok, I didn't read that I couldn't talk about that, so while I disagree, I will respectfully refrain....
Hey all. I'm 25 and KIND of nuts, so bear with me. Two Friday's ago (my BIRTHDAY) I was flaring, blood in the toilet, stomach pain, the works. I have been without insurance for about a year and...
... and tells me I'm eligible for a survey on UC. I'm getting paid $125 bucks for an hour of work! Just have to wake up early, which blooooowwwwsss. One of few good things UC ever did for me :P...
Hey gang, been a while. So I got my latest colonoscopy last month, and even though everything checked out, I still didn't FEEL 100% and was still having some diarrhea here and there. I take Asacol...
Well, then I stand corrected....
http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a2505951c9e6456011c9efd5562001c Don't know if there are any fans of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, but this one relates to us a little bit....
I just read an article that said that there was a study that found that women that swallow ejaculate have less cases of breast cancer. Why in God's name are we studying things like this (and 4 hour...
Somewhat on the subject, my mom is making a pumpkin pie and asked me to see if pumpkin would aggravate my UC. I didn't see any negative things about pumpkin, then I come on here and see this post....
I've been on 6mp since august, and I know it takes a while for it to start working. I tapered off the prednisone, flared back up and am currently tapering down again (Two 10 mg tabs a day, one in the...
"It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your...
My buddy goes to one. I'll check up on him for you....
Are allergy shots known to have a negative effect on UC? I take them because I have horrible allergic reactions to things, and I'm not sure whether or not they have done anything to my guts in the...
I just bought a juicer, moreso to get all vitamins and things I've been missing. My brother went halves on it because he wants to be more of a healthy meathead (football player and such). We did our...
I've tried the spinach for three days now. I want to say it's helping, as stools are becoming less liquid (almost immediately), but last night there was just a slight amount of blood. I'm going to...
+1 for wet wipes. Those things are a God send during bad flares....
I have been on this stuff for a few weeks now. I bumped up to two a day around day 5. I would say that while it's by no means a cure, when adding it to your current colitis treatment it will...
Day 2... No change in BM yet. But I only had to go twice today instead of the recent 5-6 times. That in and of itself is fine by me. I'll report any more dramatic changes when they occur....
I'm giving it a shot. I'll let you know how it works out....
New guy here. Diagnosed with UC at 19, now 22. I was doing student teaching for the Philly Public School system (yay...) and caught a terrible case of tonsilitis and a stomach virus to boot. They put...
