I know I shouldn't stress. It's no always easy but I'm trying :) They made me drink some really horrendous white thick chalky stuff. It was terrible and I kept gagging. Maybe I'm a big baby but it...
He said from my colonoscopy that I have inflammation in my large intestine and that I either have UC or CD, but he wanted to do more tests. I guess to determine which. I know that even if he says UC...
I too have bowel changes during my period. It's funny because I suffer from constipation, so during my period I actually get some relief although I do have more rectal bleeding. Funny toss up. I also...
I have used the miralax prep without the dulcalax and it still cleaned me out. Although I did have the need to go without the BM. if that makes sense. I also had no stomach pain while I was doing the...
Well, my doctor wasn't sure if I have Crohn's or UC so he sent me for an upper Gi series or barium xray. Let's just say that stuff was WAY nastier that I thought it would be. I actually almost threw...
Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate you takinv the time to reply and provide advice. I have continued taking the asacol and have noticed some improvement although i am still feeling run dow....

I'm not sure. I did have low iron a few months ago and was put on iron pills for a little while but then was taken off of them. I imagine I will find out when I have my f/u appt as they did do more...
Thanks for the responses. I've only been on the Asacol for two days. I think I'll continue taking it for a few more days and see if there is any improvement. But if I feel the same way by Monday,...
Hello everyone. I'm new here I guess. I posted a few times in the CD forum. I had a colonoscopy on Wed and the doctor noted two inflammed spots in my lower intestine. The first was near the rectum...
So I got through my colonoscopy and my GI tells me I have either UC or CD but he wants to do further testing to be sure. From what I remember he said there is inflammation in the first part of my...
I can understand your concern but there is never a guarantee. In my case my mom has CD and my brother's son (nephew age 12) was just diagnosed. And today my colonoscopy came back as either UC or CD....
Your post made me laugh!!! Thank you for the reply. Yes, that was exactly what I did. Although I did also have some popsicles and extra water. Lots of it. And I was still going to the bathroom at...
Ok. So now i just realized that I'm a complete idiot!!!! I was looking at miralax not working and I realized that I was suppose to use a 200 something ounce bottle of miralax with 64 ounces of...
Thanks for the reply. I took the gatorade, dumped half of it into a jug and added the rest of the miralax to that. I drank three large glasses already and my stomach got nauseated so I ate a lemon...
Okay... So I did the Miralax prep. Easy right???Except I got a gallon of gatorade instead of 64 ounces and I already dumped half of the miralax into the bottle. So what do I do? Do I dump half of the...
I forget that it's over the counter. We are a military family so I always have the doc write a rx so I can get it on base. It's actually this huge white bottle with glycorine something or other. But...
I have used Canasa before and I didn't have any difficulties. I layed on my side and took a deep breath. Pulled one leg up to my chest and inserted the suppository while slowly breathing out. It's...
oops. It got away before I was ready.... I plan on staying home tuesday and my hubby will even be around to help with the little ones. I'm not looking forward to it at all although I'm sure I will...
Thx Cleanfreak! That's too funny. I...
Thanks for the support. I'm so glad you all replied! I am nervous about what they will find, but I think I'm more nervous about the prep. I like the Idea of taking the miralax two days before, sort...
I don't have Crohn's but my mom does. I'll tell you part of her story, before remicade was on the market she had such a bad flare up that she had to have six inches of her small intestines removed....
First let me start by saying I don't actually have Crohn's. At least not that I know of. It's one of the reasons I'm getting a colonoscopy done.. Let me start from the beginning. I have had severe...
