Good luck to you!...
Marshmallow root. I use slippery elm. I have noticed a difference....
beatUC, I find the same on the natural boards. They don't even allow talk of medications which is hysterical. I'm all for natural meds, but not opposed to the big pharma stuff if it actually helps,...
I just found this thread interesting. I'm surprised that some people can be so judgmental about a possible fix for this condition. I'm another UCer that was diagnosed after quitting smoking. I can't...
I have a whole box of Canasa but I'm not a fan. I did 5 days of anucort which worked beautifully then had to switch to Canasa which were bigger and harder and left me feeling ouch vs feeling good...
DMC2011: sucks to be me! The anucort is about it if I can't get this Asacol to work. I'm taking supplements such as probiotics, different vitamins, and slippery elm. I would try hemp oil if it was...
Yup iPoop! I got high. They said after the Lialda fiasco, I could go back on 1 Asacol at night before bed until I build up a tolerance as that was the only side effect. After a week, I took two...
My bad, it's anucort. It's a steroid suppository. Only steroid med I'll agree to. It worked right away and reduced my symptoms by over half which was huge to me!!!...
I didn't have any parasites. That's the thing. I had severe diarrhea with mucus and blood. They did all kinds of test and everything was negative so they gave me a heavy dose of cipro. When I finally...
I don't think I did have diarrhea until after it was removed. And then ALL the time. I think everything was normal except the extreme acid reflux due to hernia and the severe gas pain due to ????...
I too think I am intolerant. I know I have an allergy to Sulfa drugs though some have no problem with mesalazine. I have no doubt I will react when I attempt to go back up to 2 pills, but I want to...
Anyone have to build up a tolerance to Asacol? I can't take anti-inflammatories so I was told to start with one pill to see if I reacted. Initially it made me high as a kite so he stopped that and...
Back in 2007 I saw a GI specialist due to severe gas pains and a hiatal hernia. They said the gas pains were from my gallbladder and it must come out. I had the surgery along with the hiatal hernia...
Hope I can do well as well. The meds aren't what they are cracked up to be for me so far. One made me high and the other sent me to the hospital with chest pains that lasted two days. This is why I...
I had tests done last year for my first sudden flare of IBD. (didn't know what was wrong) All my tests came back negative. CT scan/xrays/blood/fecal. Finally after dealing with it for 10 months and...
Well, I'm in the same boat, Kanale27. I've had IC for years, though I forget I have it as I'm so use to having it!! I just got diagnosed with UC. I wonder if anxiety is a component of the flares......
Hey Turboswami. I too just started Turmeric for UC. Wish there were more who tried natural remedies as I can't tolerate medications very well and have to look at other sources....
