Hey everyone, I had a good interview (I think). Thanks for your support! The job doesn't pay as much as I'd hope, but the positive is it's 7 minutes away. I use to commute 1 hr sometimes more if the...
I had a horrible GI at first. When I went in for an endoscopy, the whole time he was asking the nurses what he should say on his card for a wedding. After it was done he was still talking about. It...
Thanks guys/gals! I feel halfway normal, my only concern now is my weight. I lost about 28 pounds and it really bugs me to look in the mirror or go out. I'm insecure like that, my clothes are so...
I like August Rush, most football movies especially Radio, My Sassy Girl (the original korean version), and of course most disney movies with my daughter....
Hi all, I started taking Forvia last week (Monday) and I also upped my dosage of Asacol (4 3x a day). I'm done with my Pred taper (yesterday) and felt the best I've ever felt today. What's cool is I...
Hey guys, thanks for all the info. I guess I'll just take a low dose of it. My doctor told me to take it with food when I first started, and that I could start taking it without. So, should I take it...
I noticed the last couple of days my Asacol pills have ended up in the toilet, and the water was maroon colored. Has anyone experienced this? Me taking Pred in the morning helps during the day but...
I had energy when I first got UC, but now that I'm on my first flare since being in remission it's the total opposite. Even when I take pred I don't get an energy boost like a previous poster said....
I guess I need some feedback from people who take Forvia and if it has been a good experience. Thanks in advance....
Almond milk, that sounds so good. I think I saw some at Trader Joe's and will be trying some the next time I go. Thanks for all the info guys/gals!...
Hmm, I just looked it up and yeah it has about 9 - 12% lactose. Now I wonder what caused my flare, I was almost certain it was the milk in my pancakes....
Yes, I think I'm lactose intolerant. I made some pancakes with milk right before my flare, and I think it's what caused it. Although while I was in remission I was eating a bunch of ice cream and was...
I see a ton of people here posting that they eat yogurt. Is there a certain brand that has little or no lactose? I would love to eat some yogurt but not sure what type to get. Also does anyone here...
Hi all, I don't think I've shared this yet but here it goes. I noticed a rumbling in which I thought was my stomach around November 2007. So I'm thinking hey I didn't eat breakfast so I get a bowl of...
Thanks for all the info guys. I'm on 40mg right now, and feeling a little better this morning. I was talking it with dinner but will start taking it in the am as suggested as I was having a hard time...
My flares are definitely seasonal, I think it's due to the football season. Watching games gets me so stressed out :(...
Thanks for the info pb4, I felt better after my first dosage but the last couple feels like it had no affect. What's the best time of day to take it, and during a flare what do you feel is best to...
Hi all, I started taking Pred 3 days ago and I want to stop after reading all this bad stuff about it. Do I have to taper off or can I just stop?...
Subdued, yeah i got the info here that those are all anti-inflammatory foods. So I asked my wife to see what she could whip up, and she came through like a champ. I've only had 1 BM since and feel so...
My wonderful wife cooked me some salmon with a side of mashed sweet potatos with minced garlic. Not only was it good but it has made me feel so much better. Oh and the salmon was seasoned with garlic...
You didn't make it to the bathroom?...
Hi guys/gals, I'm going through a really bad flare and it seems much worse than anything I've experienced since being diagnosed with UC. I was good for the last 10 months when I started using Asacol,...
