for me: "bad" food build up + stress = flare up...
For me, I don't have to worry about driving drunk. I eat and eat and don't gain much weight. I can spot a bathroom by the architechture/design of the building (lol, call that a sixth sense) and well...
they are good, a bit expensive......
I have disabilty services in campus too, they have helped me out a lot :)...
Hello, I truly don't consider vitamins as a waste of money, vitamins are not for keeping us out of flares or getting rid of colitis, etc., they are for keeping up healthy in the best and worst times....
I had all of 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at once and had no problems with the pain meds (I don' renember the names), altough I remember I was on Inmuran and had to quit it for about 3- 4 days,...
I believe before bed is best... I take my probiotics before bed because we don't eat anything while sleeping and gives the bacteria room to do its work....
21st birthday, a bit drunk (no more drinking!!! that was may 1st ) @ the beach @ 3:00AM, there was a children's playground I went down the slide and felt something @ my buttocks... crapped my pants,...
Simple rule for me: soluble fiber is good, insoluble fiber isn't....

That one looks really good, 14 strains and has almost all the strains that crazytrain is talking about. I would buy that product and try it, but it needs to be refrigerated... I can't buy from...

I use those they work great with me....
My naturopath (first time visit) knew that I had inflamation of the intestines by just taking pictures of my eye. He is one of the best of Puerto Rico. It's good to do a mixture of both, western...
I eat pretty much anything while not flaring, just no spicy stuff, no irritants... My favorite food is seafood, specially octopus salad and shrimp in garlic. (sits very well with me) Breakfast: Tuna...
This one seems like it would be more practical for adults, at least you could sit on it without it collapsing! I like the idea of these too:...
I have a portable potty at the back of my car, altought I've never used it, I've only used it several times as a cooler for the beach, lol this is the one I have, quite big:...
I've been on Rem. since 2005, the results vary and are not that fast acting (the first ones), but give it a chance, it will kick in ;)...
Xango juice is very good (healthy) and also the taste is not bad, I've used it, it's a bit expensive for a juice but very good (although you only take some sips of it, not a whole bottle of it...
lol, I had the results of that test last week, negative :) I hate taking stool samples....
Indeed, the people in this forum are very helpful :) I'm always available to help too....
NostraHistoria, that doesn't look like a lot, I've had way more than that, it's pretty normal. However If you're bleeding you're in a flare. The blood looks bright so it must be from the lower part...
My bones are always popping when I strech too, specially my hips... no problems with my jaw... but I'm getting worried about it....
I was diagnosed at 18 (now 21, but I believe I had UC since I was 13 or so, at least IBS) I've had a very normal life (hanging out, flying to other countries, etc.) when in remission, I've had just...
That's from New Chapter, it is a very good anti-inflammatory, my mother has used it but she asked the doctor If I could use it for my UC and the doctor said that it was too strong for me or something...
Some people just don't know what it's like to have this disease, it's not only the diarrhea, it's WAY MORE than that....
nice, thanks for this advice, I've had the same problem several times :)...
I'm guessing you have been already diagnosed with UC right?...
Good man!!! I'm proud :) I just got home from a night of clubbing, after not being able to go out for over a month!! It's good to be out and not drink (that caused me to flare)! I'm feeling better...
Since 2005 here, no side effects :) (that I know off)...
Pred really sucks I've been on your dose for the same time, about 2 1/2 weeks now, I'm starting to get some acne and my joints ache too, I'm also a bit moody sometimes. I've been wasting money on...
Hey man, welcome to the site, I'm 21 and I'm going through somewhat the same, all my friends drink being Puerto Rico the "capital of Rum" Bacardi, I gave into temptation and I'm going through a flare...
I take a multivitamin and that helps me out with energy, etc. Exercise can also help you out. While on remission I enjoy hiking and walking long miles, that helps me out a lot....
Sandy, Flagyl can give nausea and vomiting, I know it because it gave me that while I was hospitalized, altough it was not constantly. It seems that you're mother is getting better, everyone has a...
I too would like to know :) please anyone...
Well I've been on Remicade since 2005, I was using Remicade and Inmuran to get off the Pred, I got out of Pred, but I had an tooth infection which caused me several problems, a problem with some...
I'm very sorry to hear that Sandy, have the doctors talked about surgery? Surgery is a lifesaver for most who can't get to remission and are very illl, specially when they are very weak, I almost had...
I've had that even during my remission periods, but never treated it in any way, it just went away in a matter of days. How long have you had this?...
I really don't know many people with the disease here in Puerto Rico, I believe I'm the only one with the sickness in my university which makes me feel kind of alone, with no one to talk to that...
Exactly as me, Remicade saved me from surgery too, but now it seems that is not working as the first time. All my friends drink too, here in Puerto Rico we drink a lot of alcohol and hanging out...
Hello there :) Welcome to the site, I also am 21 and have been living with this disease since 2005 or longer, because I had other problems before being diagnosed. I'm currenltly flaring but I had a...
salmon is a great part of my diet, it has always done me well....
During my first flair I ate several soy products, Silk Milk, "hamburgers" etc, they were not that bad, some where quite good, I'm going to start consuming some of those products again from time to...
The first time, it took me about 4 - 5 months to be in remission. I've had two flares in 4 years. I hope I can get out of this present flare soon....
I had one full awake last week, it was uncomfortable, but not painful! I just wanted it to be over....
I started with 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks, since September 2005 but recently I'm flaring and my GI's decided to go with 10 mg/kg every 6 weeks to then again save me from surgery, but I'm thinking about...
Nice dreams, you sound like a poop loving fellow :smilewinkgrin: lol :yeah:...
That's a quite weird dream! I've dreamed that I'm at a public bathroom with THOUSANDS of toilets, but every one of them is taken, so I gotta take a poop elsewhere, lol...
I've had those, I believe it could be dehydration too, mine was....
