Ive been only on apriso, started the SCD diet 2 weeks ago, also started cigarettes again 3 weeks ago :-/ I got desperate. Havent seen my GI but spoke to his assistant and was prescribed Uceris and...
Anyone get urgency so you run to the bathroom for the x time and its just blood with barely any stool? I've only had flares where it was 20-25 BM per day with blood mucus and stool or a moderate...
I started smoking after UC. Smoking for 3 years. I only started because I was in the worst flare of my life. Almost a year with the flare, mostly because I refused to take pred. I knew that if I were...
I understand what beatUC is saying. Some of you focus too much on the crapping and for some reason want to tell the world you crapped your pants. I think its ok on the forum because the only people...
How long until you saw results? My GI said the same thing. It works for those with mild UC. Im in between moderate and severe so it didnt work for me :-/. I tried it. It did decrease bleeding but...
Exactly. This stuff works but I really hate all these articles I've been reading saying "it has potential...", "it may be a future...", "it is currently only experimental...". Cmon with this bull!...
Not just mcdonalds but almost every fast food bothers me. If im in a flare, I feel it the same day. If im in remission, I feel a little pain, not so solid BM, and stomach sometimes make the gurgling...
haha I think it would be mandatory on that steak...
Second one came straight out of a movie. Go to as many as you have to until you find one you like. Bad doctors deserve minimum wage. Bad thing is that, every time you go to a new GI, they want to do...
This reminds me of something I saw the other day. I think in Japan, they made steak out of poo lulz. Im completely serious here and not exaggerating haha. You can search it. Supposedly it taste like...
Hi Adapt. Always strong. That is all....
HAHA! Thats hilarious. People will never view chocolate the same again...
So far im on #4. Will be going on #5. GI's #1: Gave me meds for the small intestine when the inflammation is in my large intestine. Meds made me REAL sick. Didnt give me a lot of info unless I asked....
I knew there had to be one. Didnt see it though. nm just the Apriso(aka mini maracas)...
I became a smoker just so I wont have to go on prednisone. lulz I think prednisone would f me up more than cigarettes. I smoked for 2 years and never flared with cigarettes. Then I started using...

why was my last post deleted? Anyway... Is that sooo? Hmmmm. So why do some people benefit from using ecigs which contains no carbon monoxide...
Thanx coffeman, I've been looking through. Is it possible to make a nicotine pill? I mean, it is possible to make it into a drink. Why not make them into pills and use them for patients who can...
Well said in the original post UC guy. Nothing harsh about it, its the truth. When I was going through a really bad flare BM 20x a day. I tried supplements, remedies etc nothing worked. I picked up...
Didn't John F. Kennedy have UC? That should've been enough attention at the time....
I was able to put on weight but my goal for Feb 2011 was 200lbs and I was only 5lbs away. I flared before Feb and I am now 165lbs at 6'2". Sucks and I'm not sure what caused me to flare. My meals...

Quincy, no I didnt cut out carbs. Been eating pretty good actually and with all that hunger I was eating more than usual UPDATE: So I got the blood test done at the ER. Everything came back normal...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4bF2d-fgjE UNBELIEVABLE! In the future, when someone is told "You have Colitis". They will be able to say "Darn, now I have to buy a new colon"....
No diet change. Im thinking of just going to the ER. They do blood work the same day. I have to change my doctor because she is always way too busy. If I make an appointment now, it will be able to...
Yesssss...
For the past 7 days... First 4 days I was extremely hungry. Couldnt stop eating. Even after eating whole plate of dinner. I was still hungry. I have been feeling light headed and hazy. Half of the...
Ok im confused about this. Is a prescription needed for this or not? (I live in NYC) I've even seen the DS on ebay. I was just about to go to the pharmacy and pick it up(I have insurance). A month...
aguywithuc thanx, im going to look up some of those meds PoopyStar! wow our colitis are twins! Yea im thinking about going on 6mp as well. The reason why you have to take both is because(I was told...
Thanx for the responses! Yes I have tried enemas but only when I was first diagnosed(4 years ago). This time im using canasa. Do enemas work better than suppositories? Yes I actually have changed my...
I actually eat 4-7 eggs every morn. I dont think it makes me worse...
I have moderate to severe colitis. I am currently taking apriso and canasa. I've had colitis for 4 years and I have flared every year which I had to go on prednisone. My GI says that if I'm taking my...
Thanx for sharing! "For inflammatory bowel disease, which mainly includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, much of the success has come from helping patients maintain remission rather than in...
if we are going to drink alcohol, wouldn't vodka or red wine be the easiest on colitis? I read that somewhere but forgot where, sorry prednisone screwed my memory :-/...
Ive been wanting to try it but still havent been able to buy a juicer :-/ I think im going to try going on a juice fast one day a week to let my intestines take a day off to see if I can go a whole...
Although Lactaid is for those who are lactose intolerant, I find that it still makes me feel weird so I drink either almond milk or coconut milk instead. Ive been drinking the almond milk, it taste...
I was thinking the same thing. These meds are expensive. I went to my local pharmacy with my insurance to get my meds. My insurance might end this year so out of curiosity I asked the pharmacist that...
I have to be in FULL remission to drink alcohol. If I feel fine with no blood and just 3bm a day, its not good enough. If I drink I will go back into a flare. I wish I knew if there were some alcohol...
I sure hope so, or I'll just use it as food storage like hamsters do...
Just got home! My colonoscopy was at 2pm. I put my alarm for 5am which is the time they told me I should drink the 2nd liter but the alarm didnt wake me up. I woke up later then that and decided not...
Update: So its been 3 weeks and no infection or nothing! Although it left a hole in which food gets stuck in sometimes and I have to clean out after every meal lol...
So we get those 2 liters(Moviprep) to drink to clean us out before the colonoscopy. I was supposed to drink 1 liter first which I already did then 5 hours later im supposed to drink the 2nd liter. I...
when I started smoking I was really depressed and stressed bcuz I was going 20 times a day and was missing a lot of school while having finals coming up and no job(still have no job, I'm in another...

Thanx, I hope I can get a refill before this one is completely done...
Im really considering trying this as I would use my little cousin who is 9mo old as the donor but at 9mo old would it be as effective as using another adult?...
lol I also thought I was doing it wrong all of this time...
how long does 1 canister last you when using it once a day? I've been using it once a day for about 10 days now and when I shake it, it sounds like there is only 1/4th left........
hey sorry guys, I meant a couple of days ago not 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago was when I had the xrays but idk y I put that. I decided not to take the antibiotics, I'm still fine, no pain. 4 days has passed...
