CCFA - Canada funds research of number of project in Canada... none of them pertaining to MM but some of the research is interesting. Other than that I don't think the CCFA offers much assistance to...
You may find 1:1 ratio, say 7% or 12%, to be the most helpful. I've tried products with just CBD ( dried product ), no THC ( the psychoactive agent ), and found that I had to have a small amount of...
I started with UP and ended up with full on Pancolitis....
5 years ago I reached remission after 5 weeks in the hospital ( Pred, IV Steroids, and finally Remicade ). I had pancolitis and at my worst reached 40BM/day ( mostly blood/mucous ). I told my GI back...
Yes, my flares both started just before the birth of my children. That said, my wife birthed them not me. I believe the stress of expecting child, reno's work. Caused me to break out of Remicade...
Congrats... I guess this means you can take a hiatus from HW-UC. I did for 5 years...thinking removing the colon might be a good idea. So weary of Remicade and UC....
Thanks for the info. I hope to have the tests done next week. The only other things that had changed since 2009 is my weight. I'm up about 30 lbs since the start of Remicade and have no increased the...
After 5 years in remissions due to Remicade ( from Pancolitis ), it's seems I'm flaring once again. The last few months have been loose stools and two weeks ago blood on paper and mucous returned....
Annurex, funny. I think I threw mine out....
sounds like a hiatus hernia...see your doctor, they can test for it....
Even without a trainer I think you already know what it takes to shed those extra 30lbs - eat less/better and exercise more. That being said, I know the slump your in. My recommendation, do the 10...
Just a suggestion, if you want to save $$ on post perhaps enforce the search function. There are sooo many redundant post regarding VSL#3, spinach, etc.......
Shamwow ! Having a hairy anus I like a nice thick ass-wipe and and being green minded it not only allows me to clean it up but I can wash it with my kids rec-usable diapers. I hate little ass turds...

I used Metamucil while in flare and it made the flare worse with excessive, watery diarrhea. Two doctors advised me to stay clear of it...but whatev, I've never liked the stuff. PB4 ! My doctor is...
My guess is that it's a skin tag...my wife calls mine "Nebin"...
Stay clear of it while you are flaring. It will increase colon motility, you want the opposite effect....
If you crap is mushy I'd guess there is some inflammation and the stool is moving quickly through the colon without all the water being removed from the poo. I'd day you are in remission if your BMs...
VSL#3 I found that even with Remicade, I still wasn't 100% until I tried VSL#3. Now I can go a day without dropping the kids off at the pool. Speaking to the GI last week heis wondering if Remicade...
On Mesalamine.. I've been taking even though I'm on Remicade wanting to keep inflammation low ( also have gazzilion pills left ). When I told this to the GI yesterday he advised there has been...

I've been on remicade for about 8 months...even thought I've been better it wasn't until I started taking VSL#3 late november that I formed a good hard one...and went a day without a BM. Coincidence?...
I stick to a super lo-res diet, try to eat pureed, juiced foods ( fish, rice, squash etc ), ...and like notsosickly girl I avoid eating too much as it means I crap blood and goo. No flaming other...
Yes, although my understanding is that he's not a GI. Saw Saw Dr. Rudd on a number of occasions when I first developed Ulcerative Proctitis. A gentleman but a poor bedside manner. Doesn't take the...
I take Dr Eastaff-Leung statement as anecdotal. I mean, in the Third World it's likely people are dying from colitis like diseases without properly being diagnosed. Perhaps in the New World, we have...
This may have been posted already but I just noticed it....discuss. http://www.onemedplace.com/blog/archives/3724 http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/174327.php...

If it was legal in Oakville, I'd consider getting a check pen in the back yard...might not eat the chickens but I'd certainly eat the eggs. I put too much into eating organic meats as I've been...
Thanks man, I'm on remicade so things have come back to normal but for how long who knows ( taken months to get there). I'm going to give VSL#3 a try as a prevenative measure. My hemoglobin is...
I was supposed to be in training camp ( bike racing ), in March. A flare put the kibosh on that. Was in exceptionally good shape prior to the flare. High doses of steroids and blood loss has...
Beer and spirits are good with me although Red wine causes some problems...aside from a nasty hangover....
took me 4-5 before things started to improve....
BTW: I don't know why, but if there are warnings that iron should not be taken if you have UC. Perhaps someone knows why, my GI gave me a funny look when I mentioned this but if you do a search there...
