Yes, I take two Super Food Enzymes (by Enzymes International) capsules every time I eat, as well as three tablets of Germanzyme (by Young Again). I am also taking soil based organisms, and until...
Thank you, everyone! :)...
Our honeymoon will be in mid-August of this year....
We want to relax, and I would like to go someplace warm, but not scorching hot. No safaris or jungle or anywhere that requires vaccinations. Beaches would be nice, some shopping would also be nice....
I am supposed to be coming up with a possible honeymoon location. Thanks to the "getting to know each other thread", I see that we have many world travelers here! I am partial to the Bahamas or...
Beeswax - seeing the Ramones must have been amazing! Where/which year?...
My name is Tiffany, I am twenty-seven years old and from Saskatchewan, Canada. I am a full time student and have one year left before I finish university with a Bachelor's in Social Work. I switched...
Nor_TX, a waiting list depends on where you live. In the city I live in, which is approx. 218,900 people, there are at least twenty physicians (GP's) taking new patients (I received a list this past...
Yes, UC, I do. My e-mail address is in my signature - e-mail me and then we can use facebook if you like....
If you need a Canadian, I am game!...
AZ, killcolitis is right - my fiance is from the UK, and he needed to go to a hospital here once. His insurance would not cover his visit because it was a pre-existing condition, and even though he...
I've never heard of someone paying for a major surgery in Canada that was not elective, like cosmetic surgery. I HAVE heard of people going out of province and paying $500 for an MRI because they...
How does one do a vitamin e enema?...
Last thing for now! *L* UC21, you asked how that applies to IBD. I've never had to pay for my colonoscopy, my flexible sigmoidoscopy, or to see my GI specialist or GP doctor. When I was in the...
Sorry, I forgot to add that that refill will last me just over a month - 34 days, to be exact....
PS - I just read your post when mine posted, Joma, and I agree - the care here is excellent, in my opinion. I just got my refill of Asacol today. For 136 tablets (800 mg each) the total cost was...
I am from Saskatchewan and have insurance through my university (which was approximately $250 from beginning of September to end of August). It covers a portion of my prescription medication,...
Ooops, GermanZyme I take three times a day, three tablets each time with each meal....
Hi Emily & Spencer, I started to take the following nearly two weeks ago: Soil Based Organisms (SBOS) (one with every meal) 10 drops of Food Grade Clove Oil in capsules (twice a day) 9 ounces of...
Saskatchewan, Canada...
*L* Elaine - well, the machine didn't talk to me or anything ;), but the man administering the analysis said that the machine did not pick it up. He was very clear with me that the machine is not...
Um, no. It was most definitely biofeedback. I saw a "EPFX Bio Feedback Analyst" to be specific. My mother wanted me to have it done, so I went with her when she had an appointment. I was tested for...
I had biofeedback done for the first time today, and according to the machine, I don't have UC, Crohn's, IBS, OR Lyme Disease. I am very surprised and don't know what to think. Has anyone else had...
cfg, how long were you taking the MLN0002 before the rash broke out? Queen, were you were able to function - go grocery shopping, to work, etc. while you ate nothing for a couple of days? I would...
Yikes. I've never been given the option to be completely out - they did my entire colon during my first colonoscopy, and I was sedated enough that I felt no pain, but because I was drugged (but still...
I am going to do the initial screening and see if I am eligible. I'm scared, but I don't have any other options, it seems. Prednisone has been the only thing that has worked for me (Asacol worked,...
I have received the consent form, and even though I realize that drugs need to be tested on people before they are approved, the fact that anything could happen to me and that no one knows what could...
Hi BCGirl...I am so sorry....
Bump - I was initially told that the trail being done where I live was for Remicade, but after being contacted last night, I now know that it it is for Vedolizumab. I printed out the consent forms...
I've used tons of antibiotics over the course of my lifetime, but I believe oveuse of NSAIDS is what caused my colitis. I picked up rebar that was too heavy and even though I only lifted it a couple...
Thank you, FairyGen and Quincy! I am going to try to see my doctor as soon as I can next week and try to persuade hi to prescribe me Salofalk or Pentasa (I am in Canada). If he tells me to talk to my...
I'm sorry to hear that, Christine. :( I hope this fourth infusion works for you! Yes, Cheeky, I was told that it is not approved for new UC patients right now. I'm not quite sure how "new" is...
I should mention that I have moderate inflammation even while taking the Asacol....
Quincy, I have pancolitis and am taking 3600 mg of Asacol daily, but that is it. What rectal meds do you feel I should be taking? You seem to know a lot about this......
Thanks, everyone, for your responses. I appreciate them! Winter, did you try other drugs before Remicade, or were you put on it immediately? Judy2, thanks for the link - I'm going to look at it right...
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I've been reading posts and this seems like a great place for information and support, with a lot of varied experiences! I'm excited to have found it. A bit of...
