Okay I misunderstood you, I get it now. That sounds good. Unfortunately I don't think I can take anti spasmodics if that's what you were hinting at. When I was hospitalized I was put on it. It...
Again, I apologize for the wait for the response. I've been off Imodium and am lower on Elavil which has made me exhausted, in so much pain, and almost non functional. Last night is the first night...

I'm sorry I've been very busy today and my pain and fatigue is so bad right now I can't think. I will respond to both of you tomorrow....
Thank you for the advice, its gives me a good ballpark estimate on what I'm going to have to do. I'm going to try your program and assess my situation as things go on. I cannot get off Immodium long...
Basically what I'm saying is that last time I did more more prep (I listed what I did) than a average person would need to do and I didn't get cleaned out (I only went to the bathroom once!). So...
The first paragraph was just kinda of a supplement to my main question, letting people know the main conditions, it wasn't really the main point of the post. In regards to your question I never said...
I've had extensive GI Issues for 7 years (my first doctor screwed me so bad and caused this mess) IBS, IBD (UC), Gastroparesis as well as a range of other stuff. Anyway this is my 3rd colonoscopy...
Max Dose: That what I figured. However I didn't know about supplementing the PPI's, I will ask him at my next visit if things continue to be status quo. Sorry you have asthma, my mother has it too....
First off thank you so much for your responses. I understand it is a extremely difficult situation and a appreciate all the help I can get. My doctors thinks the acid is due to my Gastroparesis....
I am on 80mg Protonix daily. I have tried all the other PPI's and none is better than the other. Is 80mg the max dose or would it be more effective if I upped the dose? Thanks....
I'm currently on 250mg/day of Elavil + 1800mg Gabapentin. I was wondering what pain meds could be used before narcotics. I went to a Chronic Pain Dr. he mentioned John Hopkins Chronic Pain Center and...
Hi all, I'm at the point where I'm looking for a hypnotherapist. I am in the DC area. Can any recommend any? Thanks...
I have IBS, Gastroparesis as well as many other digestive conditions. I'd dont want any diet advice because I have done everything sensible and have gone well beyond the call of duty to say the...
I ask this everytime because I have seen many (not all but alot) of doctors not pay enough attention to diet when it comes to IBS. Diet is the most important factor in IBS IMO so I'm going to ask...
I don't know but let me ask you question, what is his typical diet like?...
Hi I recently got the LEAP (Food sensitivity) test done. I was wondering if anyone had ever gotten it done and how well it worked as well as if you thought it would work when you first saw the test...
Most days I get about 8 glassese of water. The only time I feel better like I said when I fast and things start to heal up and come out slowly but to slow for my state. Perhaps Absorp plus would be a...
I believe my rectum is not strong enough to move waste long any more. Everything is just sitting in the gut killing me not coming out really, (a little bit still formed but very hard stool with mucus...
No I haven't discussed it with him and frankly I'm not sure I will because I doubt I will see him again. I was so angry because he doesn't get how bad I really am and has shown that he has no idea...
So as I recently said Predinsone has done nothing for me (40mg for 10 days now starting to taper). So will 6mp work where pred. failed? Anybody have an experience like that?...
So I have been on 40mg prednisone for about 10 days and its doing nothing. Doc says to go down 10 mg weekly. After getting home I decided I'm unwilling to be on it this long (i have been on...
Thank you so much Supa! I have my email in my profile, just email it to me when you get it....
Petty, thanks for the info, I just got a list from my local health food store. Supa, I live In Bethesda, MD (about 5 or so miles from the capital) Please let me know, info much appreciated!!...
Allen Ginsburg, think I've heard of him of before. I'm glad he was a help to you but unfortunately doesn't sound like a good fit for me though, thanks for the info....
Anybody know of any good doctors in this area who would be willing to work with me with diet and stuff. My current GI is not cutting it. EMPHASIS ON open mindedness to different approaches. Anyone...
I've seen no difference (actually its worse but that's because I"M MUCH WORSE NOW than a year ago). But it really depends upon the case of course, in the end you really have to try yourself I guess....
What does prolonged Sun exposure mean? I swear if I get on this kind of drug, pyschlogically I won't be able to take it and would rather have surgery....
(got I forgot to post things, I'm so impulsive, my mind if cluttered these days and desperate) So Opinions on the situation?...
Day 7 of predinsonse, 40 mg a day and its not doing a thing. In the past It would work instantly (a year ago though I was much better then). Inflammation is still the same. I'd rather not raise the...
you could try this. http://www.colitis-crohns.com/ Has alot of good information on raw diet....
I'm skeptical they'll ever find a cure unfortunately....
I agree with the others, I would get it checked out to make sure you okay. If you have enough weight and are not nutritionally depleted, I would recommend a juice diet for a few days. Get a...
I feel like I have to pee every 7-10 minutes. Since my UC symptoms are never in remission (abodiminal pain, cramping internal inflammation though most of the time the stool never has blood you can...
I know it refers to inflammation and flares but, does this include constant cramping, and all kinds of abdominal pain. I also have burning of the eyes, fatigue, and burning of certain areas of the...
Hmm I see. Not good but What should I expect with such a disease. What was your diet like?...
By the way to clarify, if you've been on any drug in the 6mp classification level than I'd like to hear to....
Since I bet this is where I'm going (though I'm crossing my fingers) next, I was wondering if anybody been able to get off them and be fine on Anti-Inflam level drugs? I'd rather not be on it too...
Elaine, I hope I can gain some weight I am very low now so hopefully. Predinsone needs to work soon hopefully, its been 4 days now so maybe it will kick in soon like it will for you, though...
I had or still HAVE i should say urinary problems prior, going to bathroom every 7-10 minutes. I also had frequent constipation problems prior to my first flare. I believed if I had changed my diet...
I have been on Lialda for about 2 1/2 weeks. I have noticed an effect but not enough (though Dr said it can take 1-2 months to fully work). I hope so, I'd rather avoid 6mp. Just got off the phone...
I see not that my message had already been posted. Either the computer was acting up or my mind, wouldn't be suprised it if was the latter...
I posted a longer reply but for some reason it didnt get posted and deleted. For me in my condition that's like writing an essay. Here a shorter version Wating for a call for the dr. I am having a...
Thanks all. I left a message with the Dr. and am waiting a call back. Right now I've noticed a little trouble sleeping so, I have a bit of a sore throat. I think since its not working it and its...
Forget to add: my question is do you think I should be taking predinsonse all in once dose? How long does it usually take to work? Predisone in the pass would work quickly for me almost instantly but...
Hi all, I am on Lialda 4 tablets starting taking Predinsone 40 mg total , 20mg twice a day (morning and evening) My dr. is hoping to get the inflammation down so I can eat more fiber and get things...
Diet is an important in UC. Pay attention to what causes you problems, You have a better chance of remission that way. Hope you get off the prednisone soon....
