Not on any probiotics. I'm going well at this point without them so I figure I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Thankfully I have had no problem metabolizing the 6MP. Of course keep up the blood...
I've been on the generic for a while along with 6MP and it has worked well for me. I also consider it my maintenance drug as 6MP has been the most help....
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have had great results with a 6MP and Colazal combination. I take 9 pills a day of Colazal and the 6MP in the morning. I'm in remission and I feel better now...
Limited lower on the left side. Also, I tried some of those wafers. I think they're the apple ones. Not terrible but too dry and you can't seem to get the remains out of your mouth. I feel good again...
Sounds like you're going into a flare. The fever is low so I wouldn't be so concerned with that but you should be sure to stay on top of any and all UC symptoms....
Any other symptoms besides the fever?...
No problem. I appreciate the advice. That's why I come here. I will definately discuss the rectal meds with my doctor. I'm not oposed to doing a single thing that will help me in the UC battle. My UC...
Thanks Quincy. On the Urso my thought is that because it's a bile salt and typically thins the bile it would help to cut down on that when having terrible diarrhea. I have been on 250mg three times a...
For about a week now I have been on 40mg a day of pred. What I have noticed the last few days especially at night is the desire to just eat continuously. Now I know this is not odd because of the...
I went into a major flare in the middle of November. To make matter worse I came down with a pretty bad case of the flu the night of Thanksgiving. I spoke with my doctor and he wanted to try and...
Very simple answer on this one. When in a major flare and bleeding taking aspirin which thins the blood is not a very good idea. It's best to speak with your doctor and he will let you know what's ok...
Definately give your doctor a call and get on top of it early. The longer you wait doing nothing not only will you get worse but it will take longer for treatment to get you back on track....
Nice theory but I don't think muscle control has anything to do with it. Normally when you have to go to the bathroom a message to your brain tells you hey you need to go. In most cases those without...
What kind of meds have you been on post pred? You might want to see about having your maintenance meds adjusted or changed to get you back under control....
I have been going through a terrible flare and have lost 15-20 pounds. Went from about 205 to 185-190. Had no desire to eat much and of course the colitis itself takes so much out of you. The good...
I have been experiencing an extreme flare for several weeks. The colazal I had been taking for a while was no longer doing anything for me. Frequent loose stools sometimes with blood. Bright red...
Does anyone else have a really hard time getting out of bed in the morning? I'm so tired when I get up in the morning it's just terrible. Sometimes I just cannot get myself out of the bed. I'm...
Rye doesn't agree with me either. Wheat bread or any grained bread is not good either. I stick to either white bread or sour dough....
Fast food isn't good for you to eat even when you're 100% healthy. It's low quality and low cost food which is bound to give you a slew of health problems....
Thank you for the reply. I've been around four BM a day on average. Sometimes three but mainly four. They're also alot more formed then they had been in the past although a lot thinner then they...
This might be a really dumb question and I'm sure the veterans on this board have a addressed it numerous times. I'm sorry but I'm new here and just don't know. Is there some kind of scale in...
I know what you mean Dakota. There's just no way to be able to predict the type of day you might have. I get my vitamins from GNC and have to make sure they're all water soluable because of the liver...
I agree with what some others have said. I would maybe try and find a different doctor who would be more willing to work with you. If what you're doing is not working I'm not sure why your current...
The biggest problem I have found with UC and probiotics unfortunately is that no single person has the same result. Some say they don't help at all, they somewhat help for some, and some say they're...
I see a lot of people sharing their stories on here so I figured I would go ahead and add mine. I went through a very tough time healthwise back in January/February of 2001 when I was 24 years old. I...
