Sounds like your ass is slowly becoming a Play-doh Fun Factory. Before long you should be able to shape Stars, Triangles and Squares. I can do a Hexagon and a Crescent Moon. :yeah: Thank you, I'll be...
I took 7 at Costco in the period of 2.5 hours. Several times I had the whole men's room laughing due to the large amount of comical flatulence that accompanied the BMs. {sigh} It was a good day....
He's washing his pants in the toilet at work trying to get them clean. I was rolling. I think a lot of us have been there. LOL... I work in I.T. and do a lot of project work. When I come on to a new...
Has anyone had the Amazon Coconut water? There are 4 varieties, the only one I've had was the White Tea version. It tasted more like a flavored tea drink and wasn't slimy or funky like some of the...
VSL#3 just made me fart a whole lot more. I tried several probiotics before landing on Metagenics Ultra Spectrum. It works ok but I'm still looking at other probiotics to see if I get better results....
ROF***!!! This is like that scene from the "Green Mile" When John Coffey sucks the cancer out of the Warden's wife. She then tells him, "I dreamed of you. I dreamed you were wandering in the dark,...
Somedude, Metagenics Spectrum has given me good results so far but I'm still looking and trying others....
Somedude, It's a long long list of stuff, the causes and what I do. In short: My UC was caused by antibiotics, overuse of NSAIDS, eating poorly (acidic foods) and other environmental issues among...
I believe the Americans with Disabilities Act covers IBD related illnesses. If so, you might want a lawyer to look over what happened to you at work, not that you should sue them, but if this ex-boss...
No, not miracle treatments, 4 years of trial and error. The biggest error was listening to all those idiot GIs who just kept pumping me full of poisons. I also never said "cure" or "remission". I'm...
Do the walk, don't feel guilty. I am off all meds and Remicade and using natural and homeopathic treatments and they are working well. I think there are several reasons one gets UC and this is not a...
Bananagirl, The Prescript-Assist sounds like a good one. I'll have to try that out. Does anyone remember a thread from a while back, this guy was talking about the wonders of edible clay and how it...
Starting all this Pizza talk right at lunch, LOL... Costco Large Pepperoni, $10. Can't beat it, at least at my Costco you can't. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif ...
Sounds like a lot of our GI Doctors are @sses. Jumping through hoops left and right to get treatments/meds, etc. It's almost like being a GI was their punishment for something and they all act like...
Hey, this is good stuff. Thanks for the post!...
I have come to find out that some brands work well for some and not for others. I used VSL #3 DS with little results, just more gas. Nature's Way did little for me also. Metagenics Spectrum did help...
...and I quote... "I s**t my pants, therefore I am" You have to laugh at this once you're cleaned up and past the moment. We all have several stories about our "brown pants" moments. LOL... I...
Thanks for the responses! Going to do some research and see what I can find. Anyone else want to chime in? Any and all advice\help would be appreciated. Thanks Again, E......
LOL... For the right doctor, I'd make the trip....
I checked the forum rules and didn't see anything about Dr. referrals. If this post is an issue, deleting it it fine. Anywho, I live in the Greater Cincinnati area and I'm looking to switch G.I....
How long has Humira been approved for ulcerative colitis? Remicade works ok but is not getting me into remission. This would be something I would try ASAP. Thanks, E......
All this sounds familiar. I too have had the extreme suddenness so bad that I also couldn't even make it from my home office\bedroom to the john about 10 feet away. People who have never had IBS, IBD...
They work quite well, pick up a box, you won't be disappointed. I think there's two types: Unscented Baby Wipes made with Tencil fiber, and a general all purpose wipe with the aloe. Either way you...
Don't forget to grab some of the Kirkland Baby Wipes, LOL... It's nice to have a pack of these close by for that extra added cleanup when needed. /community/emoticons/turn.gif ...
I've been on Remicade since Aug of 2010, started at the 5mg per Kilogram dose or whatever the starter dose is and they have since doubled it, so whatever the bigger dose is, guessing it's the 10mg...
I've thought about trying this. The only thing I've really heard about them was a Pro football player used one after he had knee surgery to heal quicker and he said it worked. He also said he noticed...
I know this is an old thread but at my last Remicade infusion, one of the nurses told me a friend she had who has Crohns was using the "Juven" mix packets and was having wonderful results. I found it...
Still waiting on my VSL#3 DS, my mail order pharm is Sooooooooooo slow. OMG! /community/emoticons/shakehead.gif I have started the nicotine patches. If you have never smoked or it's been a long time...
What others have said is good advice, also be patient and understand the many many many trips to the bathroom and the urgency. (Had to edit this, my wording sounded like I had been drinking LOL...)...
I've been on Remicade since Aug 2010. At times it seems to help and at other times just blunts a medium flare down to a small one for me. Everyone is different when it comes to drug reactions and...
Montana, Thanks for the info. I've heard good stuff about slippery elm powder, either taking it mixed with honey orally, or using with some form of enema. That stuff has been on my radar to try out...
WOW! This sounds like promising stuff. I have some VSL#3 DS coming soon so I will try this. Something else I've heard of, people doing Vitamin E enemas with some success. Anyone tried these or heard...
Reading this strikes home a bit, but then again all of us who have UC or Crohns are just nodding our heads in agreement with what's being said. I'll add my story. I met a woman in October of 2009...
