POOP STINKS!!!! Hahahaha...Sorry I had too......
I got my Bachelor's in Communications. Worked for a production company in DC for 5 years. Went back to school for accounting. Worked as a accountant for a bank and a title insurance company. Passed...
princesa - awesome...thanks!...
princesa - 50 grams! I don't see any products that even come close to giving 50 grams. I most I saw was 5 grams per serving. How much do you take?...
I think I pissed of the entire city of Raleigh, NC with my Pred. induced road rage. It was VERY bad. It wore off after 2 weeks or so. It was scary though...I felt a bit manic....
I take them. I'm not sure if I can tell a difference between Forvia or any other multi-vitamin??? Some swear by Forvia. I'm still undecided. I think I'll try a "regular" multi-vitamin after I run out...
OH YEAH ELAINE...I forgot about that...I was soooo hungry...I felt like the cookie monster. I promptly gained back the 15lbs. I lost during my flare. I have far less of an appetite now....
The energy WAS great! But now since I've been off it...its back to the fatigue. I'm not loving this too much. On a happier note, my acne and moon face are going away. The insomnia is still there...
I got the mood swings one week after starting. Acne 6 weeks after starting. Moon Face 6 weeks after starting. Insomnia the whole time. Massive amounts of energy the whole time....
I too have left sided colitis that goes through my mid transverse colon (which is pretty high up). My Dr. didn't think I needed Rowasa either. I insisted on it and guess what...my blood and mucous...
Chester_Lampwick - Any hope is better than NO hope...it has to start somewhere...mice or man...I do not care. I don't think it is very respectable to shoot down someones hope. You act like I didn't...
I went from 10 to 5mg and now I'm off. I didn't experience any of that. I just now have joint pain. It does sound more like a bug he picked up and not because of the taper. The pred. would make him...
I had so much energy when I was on 40mg of Pred. My energy tapered down along with the Pred. I have now been off Pred. for about a week and I'm EXHAUSTED! I got a good 7 hours of sleep last night...
Checklist of Candida overgrowth symptoms...I scored a 41!!!!???!!! http://www.candida-albicans-cure.com/candida-albicans-symptoms.html Weird that it can cause all of this???.......
Hahaha...what did you use? I have read that Threelac was good...but the negative press (it's banned in Australia) has me a bit scared. I think that the Dr. Ohhira's probiotic is also rated high for...
I'm also wondering about the candida overgrowth. I CRAVE sugar ALL THE TIME. I can eat a whole bulk box of sweet-tarts AND nerds in one sitting. I also crave carbs....
Sickly girl - I just ordered these. Hopefully they will be good. Thanks!...
Eva Lou - Here is a link to S.Bulardii...I just ordered some. http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?Ntk=products&x=0&ss=1&y=0&Ntt=bulardii...
Actually I have to update my signature. I have been off pred for about a week. So hopefully I'll be able to tell when I start weaning off my supplements. I started Align back in October 08. I started...
Eva Lou - I've had GREAT results with the Align...but the hard part is that I'm taking so many drugs and supplements, I have no idea which ones are working. I am going to start weaning off one at a...
Funny - I have heard people on this forum getting relief from Threelac and it has the E.Faecalis strain... http://www.ourkidsasd.com/products/2800%7CThreelac%E2%84%A2-Global%20Health%20Trax...
http://colitis.suite101.com/article.cfm/probiotics_improve_ulcerative_colitis Does anyone know which products contain the E.faecalis strain? Thanks!...
fitmom - Do you have any updates for us? I'm very interested on how it went......
I also was told I have IBS. Mine is due from my anxiety. I was always worried if I was going to have to "GO" when I left the house, which would get me anxious and in return make me go to the bathroom...
Hmmmm...this sensor is flat against the wall, so I don't think the squares would work...lol! It's the strangest sensor. I guess I can get a sticker or masking tape and try that....
I tried, but I have to turn around because the sensor is high on the wall...and still WOOOOOOOOOOOSH...there it goes!...
Does anyone else HATE automatic toilets???!!! My work has ALL automatic toilets. When I assume the position to inspect my poo (everyone knows what I'm talking about ...lol). WOOOOOOOOOOSH...the darn...
I was taking that much ibuprofen right before the flare. My GI said it was a contributing factor. I will never go near ANY NSAID anymore. Thanks for your concern. :o) I love this forum....
I'm so glad to hear that there is a lot of you guys out there that are like me. I was so afraid I was doing something wrong (even though I feel good). I just started drinking Peppermint Tea after a...
Thanks for all the info. My GI suspects that stress (my newborn was in the hospital with RSV), antibiotics (I was on them for bronchitis and a sinus infection), and NSAID's (I was taking 800mg of...
Thanks Quincy - I gave my GI a call and they are going to call in a Rx for Rowasa. I'll let you know how it goes....
My GI told me I didn't have to change my diet. I still eat like I did before. I have not found any foods that bother me other than artificial sweeteners. Has anyone not changed their diets? Is this...
I found that beer doesn't affect me too much. But I had Grey Goose and Red Bull and that tore me up the next day. I'm thinking it was the Sucralose in it. I drank Grey Goose and OJ the next weekend...
Peetey - I read somewhere that turmeric can upset ones stomach. Can you decease the amount? Subdued - yes! They are pencil thin and sometimes come out flat??? My 3 year olds are bigger than mine! Lol...
I take capsule supplements. I got them from the VitaminShoppe. I'm not sure of the dosage, I just follow the directions on the back of the bottle. Just make sure you get "standardized" capsules....
I'm not sure exactly which one did it, but within two days of taking turmeric and boswellia, the blood virtually disappeared and my BM's were down to 2 a day. PSA.Delhi - How long do you recommend...
I was just diagnosed in January with left sided UC (GI said I had it for years, I just lived with it). The prednisone and colazal have cleared it up pretty much. My question is if I should request...
