My gastro has thrown me off because I'm no longer allowed to use my miralax/dulcalx prep or Prep-o-pix. I am now required to use Suprep. I do my prep tomorrow. I bought a clear drink flavor enhancer...
I don't know all the answers. my doctors talk to my mom more than me even though i'm 28. i know that they were unsure if it was UC or Crohns at first but my more recent scopes showed scarring that...

I haven't made an appointment with a surgeon yet. They switched me onto Dexilant from the nexium and i have a follow up appointment in a few weeks. the doctor said that right now, my weight may make...
I've been reading lots of other posts on this forum and now I'm just more confused. it seems like the surgeries are a lot more intense than the doctor made it sound. It sounds like the results for...

with the reactive hypoglycemia, they said that glucose tabs wouldn't work. my body overproduces insulin so it would just make things worse. they said protein but you can't exactly carry chicken...
@Lanie yeah, i took my sugars in my doctor's office after i had a hamburger and he said something about it must have been a small burger and i should have had a milkshake... then when i said that...
my whole dad's side of the family has diabetes. The reactive hypoglycemia was diagnosed because my insulin levels were through the roof but my A1C was normal. I have had measured blood sugar levels...
so i have reactive hypoglycemia, and every so often i start to see double then slowly everything goes black. The weird thing is i come to on my own as though waking from a nap; and weirder still, i...

after a 5 month delay due to the C-diff, I am having my scopes today. so far the prep was better than usual. I used Prepopik. It does warm up when mixed, but with the second dose, I used cold water...

if I'm still feeling badly on Monday, I can call back and ask them to order another stool sample, but at this point, I've been sick for over 3 months and am just at my witts end! If I have another...
I have been off the endocort for 3 days and am in the final wean of my Vanco (every other day) and today at work, got really sick in the restroom. I was crying from the pain and while it wasn't...
I discussed the fmt today. it's the next step after our newest plan of action. we're going back on the Vanco and doing a taper. I live alone so no one else needs to be checked out. the closest place...
no but I'll ask about it at the doctor tomorrow. still have a fever so going back again....
Sounds horrible...
What's that?...
yeah, the doctor told me to take the probiotic because the antibiotic is killing all of the bacteria and we need to help my gut along. I hope the Dificid has less side effects than the vanco... that...
nope. usual meds, endocort, the antibiotic, and the probiotic. just letting things go because i was afraid the virus would get stuck if i took immodium....
...so two weeks off antibiotics and I STILL HAVE CDIFF! I'm now on Dificid. this is not fun! I'm back at work but probably shouldn't be... has anyone taken Dificid? Did it work well? it's an...

hey ya'll, so I was out of commission for a whole month and it turned out to be C-Diff. The doctor was surprised because she said that my symptoms were severe but didn't fully fit the bill for...
they claimed when I called after the hospitalization that I didn't have IBD at all (neither Crohns or Colitis) which was dumb because they've seen inflammation and scarring in previous scopes. I was...
so I've been flaring for the last month. I was in the hospital a month ago today. I was on prednisone (short course, high mg) and shortly thereafter was taken off my Pentasa and put on Lialda because...
Insurance would not pay for the pentasa unless I tried and failed on Lialda. No rectal meds. Off prednisone for a flare for about 3 weeks now....
Hey ya'll, So it's been a long time, but I need ya'll. I changed from Pentasa to Lialda on Tuesday. Wednesday morning, I had D before I even ate breakfast, then loose stools throughout the day. Mom...
I did change my diet recently to start eating healthier. I started taking probiotics last night and am hoping this slows. I am using wipes, but they aren't working. somehow, the medication from the...
I'm having horrible trouble with my stomach lately, after being told in October of last year that I was in remission. My NP actually was a customer at my work tonight and I jokingly mentioned it to...
