I packed on some high quality multi vitamins while on Humira in the past and had minimal hair loss. I'm not quite sure if it will help you too but Vitamin B9 folic acid(800mg) every other day...
Hi there, I have gone through such symptoms in the past and I was given famotidine or pepcid(20mg) twice a day and within a few weeks I was a lot better and went on to one a day then stopped it...
Thanks, I will try the epsom salt baths. It looks like most people who are on a special diet follow either SCD, Paleo or modified versions of SCD or Paleo. The Maker's diet is pretty much the same...
Hi InSoFla, It's great to hear that you are doing well. I'm not on Paleo diet since I eat grains based food such as bread. Diets like Paleo and SCD led to unhealthy loss of weight and it was too...
Hi, Just came here to swing by... it's been a while... I have been getting grass fed raw goat/cow milk, grass fed meats and it's expensive($17 a gallon) delivered from upstate Amish towns right at my...
Lol. Sorry about that, mam. Hope you don't mind calling you, mam. :) I have issues with this. I spoke to some lady on the phone regarding making an appointment and at the end, I said, "Thank you,...
Yes and he wasn't making them properly with the generator. MAP is everywhere but one thing I want to say is that because they are opportunistic, they probably stay dormant until something like stress...
Whew, Nvm. Retrieved it Srry for replying back late. I've been busy trying to tutor extra hours to get some hands on the supplements that I've been laying my eyes on lol. On my way back, LIRR is...
OMG. I just wrote like 700 words reply and refreshed by accident. stupid mac...
I actually have the transdermal LDN too from a few months ago. I don't know if you remember but my GI prescribed me both. I'll try the transdermal LDN tonight. I wanna experiment lol. I'm not in a...
I have been on Prednisone and Melatonin at the same time in the past. But I took melatonin for its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis for Crohn's. But what helped me the most to fall asleep was...
That's good. I have seen many videos of people who claimed that they were healed after going on vegetarian or raw food diet. I've always flared when I heavily emphasized my diet mainly on vegetable...
Yes, I still see my GI every 2 or 4 weeks depending on how I feel. I left him and message and he called me back and told me to stop it for a week then try taking it again to confirm whether it's...
I had to add rice to my diet. Two years ago, I tried SCD for 2 months and I lost so much dam weight and I was severely fatigued everyday. Eating a crap loads of banana or fruits didn't help me. Plus,...
I have a bunch of Humira pens left over in my fridge. I stopped about 8 weeks ago. I'm doing alright. You shouldn't stop unless you are taking something else that works and have discussed about this...
Thanks thanks <3 It's been almost 4 days since I quit Pentasa but I still see some Pentasa granules mixed up in my stool. It's one resilient son of a bitch. I just want all of it out of my system...
Hey buddy, Welcome to HW! Hope things are settling down for you. This forum is great and members here give pretty dam good recommendation/advices when needed under whatever predicament you're in with...
NY Veggie, Thank you for taking your time to write out your sincere thoughts. I, now, understand what you were trying to convey. My reply might become very long and tedious but I really hope that you...
Hi pink1, How's your b12 lvl from your recent blood work? When I used to be on Humira, my GI wanted me to take B12 shots but mine was in the normal reference range so I never took one. Maybe the...
Woah.. Thanks for the recommendation! Can't believe I never heard about this product before. I worked at GNC a few years back but didn't see one. Anyway, thanks :] My guts should have no problem...
Hi badslinke, I hear that you're doing good! Yeppie! Stay well!!! InSoFla, I actually didn't feel good during my first round of chelation. I got a slight fever and headache but it went away but I...
Hi NY VEGGIE, I really appreciate your deep thoughts about this. I hope that you can reply back on this response too and share your thoughts again. Just want to let you know that my stool has...
I've been doing well. I wasn't feeling so great 3-4 weeks ago but things have calmed down. Had to be on MORE drugs temporarily like 6mp and Entocort but I came off pretty quickly without getting...
I thought it was but when I got off the Pentasa, my BM is normal once a day no blood/mucous. I will have to wait if the symptoms come back. But I'm sure it's the same as what I went through with...
Hi, I've been taking Pentasa for more than a year, this might not make sense to many and even to me, it doesn't make sense but here I go, 4 days ago I started experiencing pain/bloating, diarrhea and...
I've been taking melatonin for 3 weeks and I definitely notice a change as well. After reading a few articles regarding melatonin, I found out that Melatonin is known to inhibit tumor necrosis...
I lost a great deal of weight while on high dose prednisone. I've always had low fat body content and taking high dose prednisone led to losing a lot of muscle/bone mass without any fat gaining....
I'd say that's better than gatorade without the artificial flavor/color, brown sugar over white sugar and prefer the Himalayan salt....
I had a few when I was young. I'd get nauseated at random times, especially in the morning after waking up. Also, when I didn't get much sleep rom staying up late, I couldn't eat anything the next...
That's great news! We never know whether something will work unless you give it a shot. Funny how Asacol can cause worsening of symptoms in some while Pentasa does a fantastic job even though both...
The worst time was when I was down to 105lb from 180lb at 5'11". The lingering flare just gradually got stronger and led to losing weight so rapidly... So much muscle/bone loss is involved. Well,...
Coming from a typical Korean family, we have a separate fridge full of Kimchi and fermented soy paste. Some people will disagree that there's any correlation to this but countries that eat more...
If I were in your shoes, I'd try the LDN first. A lot of people have benefited from it and for some, put them into real good remissions. Where are you from? If you can find another GI who is open...
I used to have a few shots once a week or so before my intestines were able to handle it. It seems like it triggers a flare for me now. We can party sober lol. A few beers may be okay though...
I'll use whatever I can get but I'm coo with Scott 1000 TPs. It does a fine job getting the dirt off of me lol...
Props to you for being off steroids for a year :) My aunt had severe myelitis and also suffers from Cushing's syndrome after being on steroids for a several years. Her face has gotten better but...
Hope you recover from the fever quickly so you can get your infusion. I wouldn't even risk getting the infusion if I were running fevers. Who knows what kind of infection could be present. Get mucho...
It could develop into an abscess. I had one located a few inches next to my a$s. Thought it would go away on its own but it only got bigger like the size of a golf ball literally and had to get it...
Hope all goes well for your daughter! Stay positive! everything will be alright....
I had the capsule endoscopy done on the same day after the colonoscopy. I swallowed the camera with this vest on. My GI told me that it would show any inflammation that could be present in the upper...
I totally get what you're saying. Some friends, who I haven't seen for awhile, saw me after my May flare thought I was receiving some chemotherapy or something b/c I lost so much weight. I was like,...
Oh too bad, my body does not function like yours. When I was having a pretty bad flare, it only worsened the bleeding and mucous. When I went off of the probiotics, the mucous went away. A few days...
Great info. Loved reading it. One thing to add about the probiotics and colostrum though. It seems that these two work the best when the bowel problems have settled down. When I'm in a full flare...
I don't know what can help but maybe prevent it. For me, if I eat something that causes slight bloating or anything I can't tolerate 100% then I get a loose stool next day. Maybe you should check...
I started juicing a week ago! I'm liking it too. But after adding kale, I get some gut gurgling. Seems like, I can't tolerate Kale. Does anyone else have this problem?...
I think he's talking about Kent state university clark hall....
I apologize for outstretching some controversial speculations a bit. I have no intention of discrediting anyone, sources, or authorities but wanted to voice out some of my random speculations. I have...
Just wanted to add some facts that I just found out now: "Mycobacteria make their way into the body's system via cows' milk and other dairy products. In cattle it can cause an illness called Johne's...
noories, Yes, I think MAP is always naturally in us. Normal immune system keeps them in balance. Someone said this before, it's almost impossible to avoid MAP. It's not only in certain food/drinks...
