Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone else experiences pain and bloating after a large trip to the bathroom. It almost feels like my body doesn't realize that it is empty and is still...
That's a great idea imagardener2. I hadn't thought of that. I will take a few calming breaths before calling (where did I toss that yoga relaxation dvd?). Thank you all again....
I agree with everything everyone has said. I was iffy about starting two antibiotics with no confirmation, but I was so desperate for any relief I went for it. I plan on doing some research about a...
About two weeks ago I picked up a stomach bug from teaching preschool. It persisted with mucous, blood, diarrhea, pain, the whole nine yards. I called my GI to find out that they couldn't see me for...
Thanks all. :) I will push for the test ahead of time and hope for the best....
Hi all, I hope someone can give me some advice. I am so tired of this stupid disease and all the foolishness that comes along with it. That being said, I have been having lots of C. Diff like...
Hot bath usually calms me down. Snuggling with my kitten (my own furry heating pad). Warm chicken broth. Big Bang Theory reruns. Those are my go to when things take a bad turn. :)...
My cat is the best predictor if it will be a rough day. She lays right on my left side when I feel bad and has even massaged my stomach with her paws. :smile: And yes, she is right there for me...
I love sushi as well. But I need to be careful not to order any rolls with lots of sesame seeds as a coating. Those darn little things do a number on me if I'm not careful....
Before my diagnosis I had the same "could it be a tumor" freak out. Luckily I was home with family on holiday and Dr. Mom calmed me down. And yes, the gas bubble thing is completely odd but happens...
yup, thats just how I feel today. You said it perfectly :-)...
Thank you for your quick replies! I'll just take it one day at a time :)...
So I am chugging along and coming to grips with the idea of having UC. (Good days/bad days still.) I am trying to figure out what my trigger foods/safe foods are. Right now I am just eating whatever,...
Another trigger- the minute I put toilet bowl cleaner in. Every time....
Ahh the phone ringing. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has that. :)...
I am a preschool teacher. I am very fortunate to have an assistant who understands if I have to dash out of the door! Also, since my class is so little they understand the "Gotta go potty right now!"...
Not a smoker...
That is wonderful! I'm sorry your body couldn't just let you be for a few days, but you went and you did it! :) -Marilee...
I've only had this news since Monday and I have already been up and down on the emotions so many times. I am amazed by everyone here who has known about it so long!!! Thanks again for all your...
Thank you everyone for your responses! I know I am not alone in this, but sometimes it sure feels that way. I am on 800mg 3x a day. I wasn't sure if this dose would keep up for a long time, as it...
Hi all! I am 26 years old and had my colonoscopy yesterday after a long time battle with what I thought was a sensitive stomach. :rolleyes: The doctor came in and annouced they found the "root of the...
