Could it be from the chemicals of the medication? I haven't really had any major issues with my teeth when I was younger, just recently. I have about two fillings and none of them were on the teeth...

Lately I've been having a lot of problems with my teeth. I've already had two root canals done this year and have noticed that bits of my teeth are falling out. At my last root canal, my dentist...
Did you get the deep dish from Gino's? Excellent. Glad to hear you had a great time while in Chicago....
Excellent! There's plenty of bathrooms in Chicago to use. This maybe a little off topic, but may I ask what sights did you take in while in Chicago?...
Ewwww....this sends shivers down my spine because I eat Dannon yogurt. This kind of thing should have been made public years ago....

I know how you feel amc24. My biggest issue with UC is fatigue as well. I really don't get the urgency to use the bathroom (only when I'm flaring) and I can eat lots of things without getting sick...
lol...you crack me up Bubba. Personally, I think it's a great idea. In fact, when I recently jumped back into the dating pool I tried to find a site just for UC or Crohn's but couldn't find any. When...
Fantastic article. Thanks for sharing....
Thanks for all the great advice! This forum is a life saver! You guys are right. It probably would be too much for her if I was to tell her everything about UC all at once. Maybe over time I'll let...
I meet someone recently that I really like but am having all sorts of problems telling her that I have UC. I feel so awkward discussing it that it feels like I have some sort of terrible secret that...

I hear people say that weight loss is a sign of UC. In the past three or four months I've been dieting and exercising consistently and I've dropped at least 25 pounds. I feel real good and don't have...
Right, I should add that when I do eat Indian food, I usually order the lowest level of spice as well....
I'm not of Indian descent but I love to eat Indian food and never have had a problem....
I've been off of Prednisone for close to a year now and I still have most of the weight that I gained while on it (went from 200 pounds to 260). I've been working like a dog lately to drop the weight...
I haven't had any problems with artificial sweetner. Curious, why would it affect UC?...
I was on a packed train coming home from work awhile ago and I accidently let out the worlds loudest, for a lack of a better word, fart. I had bad gas all day that day and I'm usually good at holding...

Sorry to hear that, Red. My father was a forklifter driver for the local Ford plant for the past 37 years so this whole bailout thing is close to my heart. I remember lots of times when he was laid...

D'oh! I have a lot to learn....
That's interesting. I was just recently diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my spine and I've never heard of the med's you are taking. I'm going to have to talk to my GI doc about that. My other doctor...
Thanks for the replies. I guess never having an illness like this before I'm scared of what might happen. I do try and keep my cigarette smoking to less than 4 cigarettes a day and so far, so good....
I quit smoking a few years ago and that lead (I believe) to my first ever flare-up and in the past couple of weeks I started smoking again because I've been under a lot of stress. Has anyone else...
Maybe I'm different or maybe I was on such a large dose of steroids that I gained a ton of weight while I was on steroids. When I was in the hopsital they gave me the IV steroids for four days and...
Ha...excellent advice!...

Thanks for the advice, Judilyn! Made an appointment to see my GI doc next Wednesday....
My doctors nurse just called me at work and told me that I have osteoarthritis in my spine. Does anybody else have UC and osteoarthritis? If so, do you have any coping techniques for the pain? They...
I see my GI doc every 6 months and get bloodwork done every three months thanks to good ol' Imuran. I also see my primary doc yearly....

Great songs. Where can I pick up a copy of your album in Chicago when it comes out?...
So, I went to see my primary doctor yesterday to discuss my weight gain since being diagnosed with UC. We got to talking about Prednisone and he then told me that Asacol was also a steroid. I have...
Thanks for the info Just here....never heard of it before. Hope you feel better soon. Cheers....
A dude here. This website is great and I had no shame coming here for advice. At the time I desperately needed it. Quick question, what's a Medrol Dose pack?...
When I was on pred, I remember going to my doctors office for a check-up a few months after being on it, [b]and the nurse actually said "what have you been eating, WHOLE turkeys?" Needless to say, I...
I'm in the same boat. I went from 190 lbs. to 255 lbs. in a very short amount of time and very rarely do I eat anything. I had read somewhere that the weight gain could be a bad reaction to the meds....
How did I miss this thread? What kind of support group have you started here in Chicago? I would like to meet some fellow UC'ers....
