I think I am flaring, but the last time I thought I was, it ended up being a C Diff relapse. I am sitting here with some prednisone and flagyl, wondering which I should take (both?). I guess I'll...
So my "flare" was probably not a flare. I tested positive for C Diff. This would be my second relapse of it. I have been trying to read all I can and I am going to try to bleach EVERYTHING I touch...
After I was diagnosed with UC in the summer, I had not had any complaints other than mild diarrhea. A few weeks ago I went to Vermont (I am in northern NY) to help set up a new store for the company...
After vomiting, I took a long nap and when I woke up, I was pretty sure some of the pill made it. I started to feel better and actually ate that night and have been eating easy things like soup and...
Last year I dealt with a campylobacter infection followed by a C Diff infection. When the diarrhea did not stop after that, I went for a barium swallow and a colonoscopy. My GI diagnosed my UC in...

Not all burgers and pizzas are created equal. I cook pizza and burgers at home(pizza dough from scratch, lean hamburger from grass-fed beef raised by my family). Also, get off your high horse....
I bought generic Miralax and my prep was fine. I was warned it would be awful, but the worst part for me was the uncomfortable IV (I had never had one before) and waiting forever at the hospital....
I was diagnosed yesterday with UC and today I ordered a bottle of saccharomyces boulardii (I bought generic, but the brand name in stores is Florastor). I already take an acidophilus supplement. I...
