Was on my phone so it was hard to reply...wanted to add, I found an article that carafate is used for panic induced IBS. Thought that was interesting...though if my D was panic induced then I was in...
No longer using acacia. That's why I waited to post about the carafate. Wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke. Makes sense since the warnings are could cause constipation....
Side effects of carafate don't touch what the biological a can do to you. I was popping lomotil like candy w zero results....
For over a year chronic horrible non stop D...accidents too often to count, on a fluke the Dr. put me on carafate for stomach, within a day the D stopped! I waited to post because every time I think...
day 4 without...bowels are firmer & I haven't had an accident, a little blood..calling GI tomorrow so I don't get yelled at too horribly for stopping w/o asking first!...
1-2 times a day? I would kill for that..but by all means, if you are not happy, keep shopping!...
Two days without, and I am most definitely doing better! I am hoping this doesn't mean all 5 asa's will bother me? Should I try not being on anything for a while?...
Anyone else terrified of the IRS being in charge of enforcing Ocare?...
Well, I'm still testing..but I think I developed an intolerance to my lialda, yesterday was first day completely off of it & I had a much better day today! I have been how you described for what...
Little nervous..but seeing how I do without today.....
I do horribly on artificial sweeteners..sugar is much easier on my system. Just something to keep in mind......
I'd say moderate...but the D is bad, I've had D so long it is my normal, 8-9 times a day is average now, accidents not unusual....
I get so confused at what is causing what...but we recently upped my dose up lialda, was on that higher dose for 2 weeks...no question I was worse, not bleeding, but the D, lomotil wasn't touching...
It's called let's milk the patent cow as long as possible....
Actually..add mesh hernia repair to that question.....
Anyone else diagnosed with UC after mesh bladder sling surgery?...
Not on Uceris, but was on endocort for over a year, the biggest side effect I noticed was headaches for about a month...but that leveled out, I did gain 12 lbs., but in comparison to what pred would...
Are you sure Lialda is not as effective? It was for me.....
You should have been on asacol & enemas the whole time! Uceris is an in addition to medication, not instead of!...
I consider 4 BMs a great day!...
My husband was forced into Warner Chilcott after a buy out from P&G, I will tell you as fact, everything WC is being accused of, is absolutely TRUE. He never felt dirtier than working for that...
Flagyl gave me HORRIBLE D!...
Another thing to keep in mind is Uceris is indicated for mild to moderate, not for severe flares....
Eva, there is a plan out for no more than $25 out of pocket, ask your GI or pharmacy about this..most pharmacies should have that on hand by now. ...
Uceris is endocort w/ better delivery system so it is targeted properly. I'm curious about the 8 week sugested time frame since I've been on endocort for a yr & how would it be any different staying...
You could switch with no problem, you do not need to do terms or tapering with endo..I've been on endo for over a yr. To prevent your ins from switching it he would have to specify DAW on script....
The God complex, they don't like being told how to do their job. Nevermind it's YOUR body!...
I never ever thought I would be the one saying this, but what I have break downs and just HAVE to have is salad! I cheated on that tonight....
I take mine all in morning also, never got out of it feeling, but did get the headaches for a while, have you asked your Dr. about Uceris? Just released, if he is ok with trying endocort, he should...
Thanking the stars my last dose is today....
I know these aren't coated cause they taste so nasty! My GI doesn't know about Uceris, therefor, some little woman is not about to tell him what to write. Idiot. New GI appt is on the 11th....
My GI who refused to even hear about Uceris..decided to put me on flagyl, oh my goodness, I have had worse D than I had before going to see him! Is this normal? I was feeling better once I stopped...
I only use it about every other month, it has never put me into a flare....
Mornings have always been my bad time. People think I'm "lazy" because I do not start my work day until 11:30..it's because I've been pooping since 6! Luckily I am self employed....
I am LOLing that you have no problem eating while talking about "crapping out fat" but it bothers you to imagine what comes out of a cyst....
If it is hormonal migraines, I found staying on a steady dose of calcium eliminated mine all together, I could predict my cycle from my migraines. For me, best treatment for migraines is cambia....
I know exactly what you are talking about..I get that too, and I do nothing with milk, raw or not. That said, I have no clue what it is! My dog had a cyst open up on her..and it looked just like the...
I've heard this so often, I think the issue is this is chronic, they are terrified of being blamed for creating addiction....
Hasn't heard of a new promising drug for U.C.?? Isn't that his freakin' job????? Ridiculous. Time to say bye-bye.[/quote] Exactly! Meanwhile, I have to suffer much longer than needed because of his...
I wish there were "like" buttons....
Delta, is this cash price? There is a savings card you can for cash paying patients..but I think it's only $100 off....
Well, my last GI appt was the final blow for that guy, and unfortunately I am paying the consequences of waiting to get into a new GI. He absolutely refused to have a little woman ask him..or gasp,...
The 3 a day endocort vs 1 a day Uceris is because Uceris is 9 mg, compared to endo's 3 mg. so same dosing. Anyone afraid of this because it is a steroid..it is NOTHING like pred! I've been on...
I have a barn...worse than a barn......
I've replied this in several other threads but thought I'd start one so it was seen better, no need to wait to ask for this, you can get it now!...
It IS available now! I see my GI on Monday..I am going to assume it will be 3 a day just as my endocort is....
Don't forget, we now have Uceris as a pred alternative now! At least in US, not sure where else it may be available....
Stomach pain stopped, yellow bile that smelled like it came from a rotting corpse gone...20 BM's (if you could even call them that..pure yellow liquid) back to like 5, which is my normal right now....
Big improvement w/o it!...
Chantix did this to me!...
