I have been looking for and asking about how to get work for nearly five years now. Every site just brushes off employment questions when you tell them you have UC, avoidant personality disorder,...
Well I guess I should have been more detailed. Long night...anyway around January I started with the enemas and they worked well. At the end of January I had a colonoscopy and after that the doctor...
[2]I have an appointment with my GI in a few days but my flair is really bad right now. He had originally told me to take Mesalamine enemas which I did for about a week every night but I ended up...
The fact that everyone poops is something that all men (and some women) have to learn eventually. I seriously doubt the smell is at all comparable to some diapers that I have come across....... The...
Another thing you can do is either keep a food diary, which was mentioned, or try to remember which foods causes you to flare more severely (what I do....I am kind of lazy). A lot of finding the...
Turmeric seems kind of scary due to the fact that on the bottle it says to not take it if you have ulcers. I wonder if this only applies to certain kinds of ulcers? I most definitely do not want...
I personally have not tried aloe vera juice but here is a link to the topic as it was discussed earlier http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1807932 I hope this helps at least a...
Thanks. I know that is a difficult question to answer. I was just kind of hoping that there might be someone who has been afflicted with my kind of problems or with similar ones who had also been in...
Hey I had a few questions about employment or disability. I am 25 and I have been diagnosed with chronic depression, avoidant personality disorder, ulcerative colitis and inflammatory arthritis from...
I am 24 and male with UC. Surgery just kind of bugs me for some reason. I feel like I am losing a battle or something. I don't know how I could cope with living with a bag for the rest of my life and...
If you try oatmeal you might try the finely chopped up kind and putting it in the pan with a fair bit of cold water and slow cooking it on a low heat until it is almost creamy. This helps me a lot....
I have used the bushes often but I live near a small ranch in the middle of my town that my family owns so when I exercise or camp I use the ranch. I think walks help regulate my bowel movements. One...
I would like a bit more info as well. Perhaps a book recommendation and a juicer recommendation and some techniques that work well with flare ups....
Ah....TP. I seriously doubt life would be good at all without it. Once when I traveled pretty far via car and no TP (not a good idea) I had a serious bowel movement. It hit me and I had about 10...
I too am experiencing extreme exhaustion but I live in America in the southwest. A very hot desert of doom. Tons of humidity and heat. I almost passed out in the store the other day but I blame the...
I have lost a lot of jobs due to IBD. First one was stocking but it was not because of having to run to the bathroom it was my leg. It got so bad I was sent to the emergency room. The second job was...
I tried Activia but it was when I flaring and it made things a lot worse. Oatmeal cooked slowly on low heat seems to be the only thing that helps me when I flare.....dieting is very difficult to...
Had a thought. What about backup? Taking someone with you when you go to the doctor visit. It might make you feel a little more confident and provide a witness should they get grumpy and not offer...
There is absolutely no reason why you cannot say no. I am fairly certain it is illegal for them to force, maybe even coerce, you into taking anything or doing anything that you do not wish to. No one...
Oatmeal seems to help me out when I am flaring up. Soda is a definite bad thing. Last time I drank it, about 2 years ago, I was almost hospitalized. Bad stuff. Maybe it is the way the grains are...
For me I had a really painful right leg nearly a full year before the first sign of UC showed up. I don't know if this is because I was flaring up and not having bowel movement issues or what but it...
Uh let me see.... 1. I have not seen this pattern in my flare ups. The first was mild build up that did start in summer but was not really bad till fall. Second flare up which started serious and is...
Personally when I have a serious flare up I have to avoid fiber supplements due to the fact that they make things crampier and runnier and whole bunch more fluid comes out. It is usually a very messy...
