Is it typical for ulcerative colitis to start with rectal bleeding without diarrhea or pain?...
@beave No. GI says no infection will last 7 months. Yes they ran a stool pathogen panel. He’s in the hospital and ready to start remicaid and if that doesn’t work it’s surgery....
@beave family history: yes for psoriasis but not lupus or RA. His dad has Type 1 diabetes also - dx when he was younger....
@beave with regards to your comment and question about the Prometheus IBD panel. There are three sections to it - one says not definitive for Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis, meaning it does not know...
@poopydoop commenting on your comment about the pathology reports for the colonoscopy. They did an upper endoscopy along with multiple colonoscopies… And each doctor we’ve seen has insisted it is not...
@CCinPA I forgot to address your other question. As far as the C diff colonization… I’m told that he must’ve had a previous infection? Not sure when that was because each time they tested him he was...
@CCinPA Doctors, honestly do not want or seem to want to hear anything about these odd symptoms. The bottom line is his colon is inflamed, he’s bleeding and they’ve seen ulcers. My thing is one could...
@flowersgal thank you for your reply. Yes the words that I quoted were from the pathology report not the doctors report. It never indicated ulcerative Clyde us… they said either “infectious or...
@poopydoop I am curious… Wouldn’t one of the colonoscopy reports actually say alterative colitis? The pathology? I have never seen those words on any of his colonoscopy is… Only active colitis on the...
@poopydoop @quincy It would be wonderful to get some names of the dogs in the Scottsdale Arizona area or even within a 50 mile radius that specialize in IBD only. Thank you so much! What a blessing...
Lol… I hate the inaccuracies of voice to text… Yet I still use it. That was supposed to say classic ulcerative colitis...
@straydog thank you for your question. This all started in August 20 20 with tingling in his throat. He had tingling every time I eat or drink something. After a few weeks fatigue set in. This was...
@poopydoop in response to a question about a G.I. doc. Yes he is seeing a G.I.… Due to insurance switching around he has seen a different one and then of course when is in the hospital different one...
@poopydoop with regards to your comment on Lialda… Yes, I think possibly he had a reaction to it because he was fine before he took it and it just sent him into the bowels of hell. He’s allergic to...
@poopydoop - hello and thank you for replying! Yes he has had colonoscopies… Each of them come back and say infectious or inflammatory… Nothing really definitive but maybe a colonoscopy doesn’t say...
I also forgot to mention, that he had an IBD panel through Prometheus and it came back “not consistent with ulcerative colitis“. Neither of the two p-ANCA markers were positive....
Hello. This is my first time writing in the forum so hopefully I don’t ruffle anyone’s feathers. Just looking for help for my 20-year-old son. My son was diagnosed seven months ago. It has been the...
Thank you for the great replies! Very informative. I completely typo'd/desecrated the name of his medication. It is Entyvio. My bad. I better stop multi tasking! I am located near Sacramento and my...
My 20 yo son began rectal bleeding on Nov 30. Dec 1 he had a CT - normal. On Dec 17 he had a colonoscopy. Doc said he saw inflammation and ulcers. Dx him with UC. Told him to take Lialda but to wait...
