Hey, thanks CCinPA. I tried that and it turned out one is 12 min from my house. Went there today and there was a pile of them. I loaded up and look forward to trying this out!...
I'm interested in giving this a try but I have no idea where to get this stuff in MN. I found this site which looks to be the correct cactus plant albeit's for tortoises ha. Can anyone confirm that...
Completely agree with Dsm4life. I would prefer to tell someone a few months into dating. I'm always uncomfortable using other peoples bathrooms too. This way they know why I'm going to bathroom 3...
I use it just like PB. I eat a sunbutter and jelly sandwich almost every day for work....
Thanks for update! I just placed on order as well, hoping for the same results!...
Drinking usually does affect me the next day. If I go out and drink a bunch beers with a few captn cokes, the next morning I may go to the bathroom anywhere from 4-6 times in the first 5 hours. Once...
LOL@RV I was just thinking about that the other day at home. I was actually peeing standing up and was like, "when was the last time I did this? lol...
Well, I grew up on a diary farm and drank fresh raw milk up until 2003 when we sold our cows. I absolutely loved it and hated any store bought milk. I then got UC in the very beginning of 08 so maybe...
I have yet to test the waters with Chipotle. My friends already call it "Chipoople" and they don't have UC Lol!...
Well, i think they're pretty awful lol. But the last one i received i was apparently so "cleaned out" the dude thought he'd try and go as far up as he could. I guess I almost got a full colonoscopy...
Yes I have noticed some uncomfortable small pain there at times with it being more recent as I have not been the best lately. It's definitely annoying...
Hey congrats!! Yes, how did your prepping go for you? Did you actually get out of the bathroom after 4 hours?...
Oh thank God!! I went o my GI yesterday and i'm being set up for my first colonoscopy next Thursday and I see that I was given the same prep. This makes me feel a little better....
Awesome!! Were you taking normal Asacol before switching to HD? Im curious if switching from the normal to HD can actually help or if it just means taking less pills. I see my GI tomorrow and I'm...
VSL #3 did not work for me. I tried on two occasions and both times after about two weeks i got bad diarrhea and a horrible stomach ache after every meal. Was really hoping it would help but...
OMG.... This was the hardest game to watch in my life. Worse than 98. We were so much better than the saints its not even funny. But you can't win if you turn the ball over 5 times.. I've never...
I will definitely be watching my Vikings!! These past few weeks have been going sooo slow as I just want it to be Sunday! I also hope the Jets win because if the Vikings beat NO, i think we match up...
Hey all, awhile back i posted that i thought my vsl #3 was possibly giving me diarrhea and stomach aches after meals. I didn't want to believe it and pinned my sickness on actually having Diarrhea....
He's actually a hockey player ;) He's just the spokesman for the commercial. It was for LivingwithUC.com. I'm not sure if this is advertising, that's why i left it out in the original message....
Maybe I am late on this but i saw my first commercial about UC yesterday! I was pretty excited about it. It was for living with UC and it had the nhl player who has UC in it (forgot his name). I...
Not being able (or shouldn't) stuff my face is very depressing. I've done a decent job on cutting down the portions in my meals and holding off on the snacks throughout the day but I sure do miss...
How come when i actually really want (and feel) to go to the bathroom I can't but of course if you don't want to but have to, there's no stopping it. So frustrating!!...
I would say I've definitely been more gassy when using the bathroom. My stool would be somewhat loose in the morning but pretty solid after that. I've also been taking Canasa for about 4 weeks now. I...
So I've been trying this stuff since last friday. I've only been taking one packet in the morning and for the past three days I'm starting to get more diarrhea with it getting worse each day. Is this...
What's the best way to consume this? I've just been putting it in cold water but it doesn't really stir in well at all....
Thanks! I'm going to order 30 packets. I checked my insurance and it covers VSL#3 DS so if all goes well I'm gonna see if i can get a prescription. It'll cut the price in half which is pretty decent....
I see from the VSL #3 website i can buy pill form for 48 bucks and the packets for 80 bucks. Are the packets that much better?...
I found some Flax seed sprinkles and put it in my oatmeal. It actually makes it taste better in my opinion....
Ooohh haha my bad!! :smile:...
Just wanna say i wasn't "flaming" anyone. I was just voicing my opinion about the Yankees. It was all in good spirit as well! Anyway, congrats to the yankees. In all honesty, how could they not win...
I've heard people on here talking about these things before. I saw them at Cub foods yesterday and gave them a hard look but walked by. I now regret that as i really want to try them!...
Boo Yankees! There's not a team in the world I despise more.. Well, maybe the Packers as I am from Minnesota....
I've been on Asacol since March 08. It's just when i was first put on Asacol it put me right back into remission. I went back to only have to go twice a day. It also really didn't matter what i ate....
Yeah, I know it's not that bad but i also am on a pretty strict diet and if i stray just a lil bit it'll make me feel like crap or make me crap more. I've been like this for awhile now and getting...
No, not really. Maybe when i first wake up I best get to the bathroom but i pretty much had that before this disease. Otherwise, I can pretty much hold it except if I'm stupid and eat buffalo wings....
My symptoms are ok. Most of my bowel movements are decently formed. But I'm still going about 5-6 times a day. I just had a flex sig about 3 weeks ago and the doc said i looked really good which is...
So I've been on Asacol since Feb 08 and at first it did wonders but for quite some time now it just doesn't seem to be working. And yes, I've been on rectal meds for the past 3 weeks with only a...
Was on 40 mg for 10 days and tapered down. I have two more days of 5 mg. It had no positive effects on me at all. About two weeks it gave me some nice acne. That's about it....
I actually started Canassa (I'm drawing a blank on the name) almost two weeks ago. It has helped some bit but still hasn't put me over the top which is a bit disappointing....
I don't know about that Fruitgirl. When i was first diagnosed, i was labeled as Left-sided. Flaring terribly. But I just had a flex sig two weeks ago and he said i looked really good and labeled it...
Thanks for posting! This is really encouraging news!...
Thanks Sherry. Maybe I should consider getting these then.. Never had a flu shot before....
Interesting that this was brought up as i just got a letter suggesting i get a flu shot and pneumococcal vaccine. Why are we supposed to get these shots? Does having UC makes more at risk or what?...
I just had one last Tuesday. It was awful but of course no one is going to say they enjoyed it! The reason it was much worse is because I basically had a colonoscopy unsedated. I was apparently very...
Hey, when i first got this i was a complete mess. Going like 15-20 times a day. Doc put me on Asacol and it cleared it all up instantly. I've been on Asacol since March 08 and have had no side...
I go to the gastro clinic in Plymouth. I currently have Michelle Finke as my GI. I think she's super nice. When i did not have insurance she gave me a little over a month's supply of ASACOL after i...
I have been on 40mg of pred for ten days. I am seeing absolutely no results. That includes good and bad. I was all ready to deal with some side effects because i was excited about possibly feeling...
Hey Sam, I too am from Minnesota! I live in Minnetonka and am also ready for the Wild to start! I am expecting big things from James Sheppard this year. He better not disappoint! Anyway, as you can...
Thanks everyone for their positive feedback! Makes me feel a lot better about taking it....
Yeah, my GI has be scheduled to take it for 6 months slowly tapering off. That seems like a really long time and I'm not flaring that bad at all. I just want to feel "Normal" again. I don't know the...
