So looks like it is for nurse time although it looks still expensive. Thank you all!...
Hello, I am taking Remicade infusion every 8 weeks but I noticed that there is around $1,300 of chemotherapy administration fee in my Remicade bill every time. Anyone knows if this is expected? As I...
garylouisville, yes it's all different. But that was still a good idea to try. I will see if that works for me....
Frequency going down slightly! Yeah, I wish it happens to me too! I have tried some liquid rectal mesalamine (I don't remember the name), but I could have not hold it. I have also tried Canasa, but...
Small dinner. Yes I will try. Actually I have tried one time, but I went back to normal. garylouisville, I know it's all different result to different people. But how do you sleep at night? Did it...
I normally go to bathroom just 2 - 4 times during whole day except bed time. However, I go at least 5 more times during the bed time. I can hardly sleep over the night everyday. I can not remember...
I like your word "UC is a disease of trial and error"!!! I am going to try for a long term, at least 3 - 6 months. I will update later. But again, as you said, if it works, then it works for me, not...
Oh, diarrhea after certain limit. My stool is already loose. Then should I not try? Hmmm......
I am taking 2000 mg ~ 3000 mg daily. I agree to that starting small amount and building up. Actually that was my plan. I am going to increase slowly up to 5000 mg and see what happens. If I increase...
Thanks everyone. Diarrhea... No I don't want that......
Anyone has tried a lot(?) of Vitamin C? I read an article and a doctor says that Vitamin C reduces bad bacteria and germs in lower bowel, and prevent from colon cancer. The doctor says that Vitamin C...
Yes, bones get weak and joints get bad too. When I stopped pred, I had pain on my fingers, legs, huckle bone, etc, kind of all my body was painful. I also heard from a doctor about a lady who has...
Yes, I know. I hate taking pred. I want to be away from it, and want to not go over that to Remi. It seems that it works fast to most people when it works. Thanks everyone......
Yes, prednisone is very cheap :) Yes, it has side effects. I also gained weight, but went back again after stop pred. To me, pred is a magic, but it ruins my body after all taking for a long time......
Sorry to hear that. It seems that your body is already used to it. I was taking pred for 4 years. I stopped 1.5 yrs ago. When I stopped it, it was so bad, it was a terrible time. However I did not...
I still have up and down. When it goes too bad, I take prednisone. But when I start taking prednisone, I am doing very well almost immediately, in a half day. I just started taking prednisone again...

Gas means that foods are not properly digested. I think that most people having UC have a problem with digestion. I used to have a lot of gas, and used to rush so many times. I thought it was a part...
I am taking Nutrilite Digestive Enzyme now. And when I tried one from Mannatech, it worked too. Find some decent one. I would not go with something like festal. You can email me if you still like to...
As I mentioned in my previous post, I would strongly recommend digestive enzyme to help reduce your gas. I used to have a lot of gas, and 10-20 times to bathroom. No more rush for gas now. Digestive...
I had the same problem too. Most time when I ran to restroom, it was just a gas. In my case, digestive enzyme helped me so much. Now I seldom rush to restroom. And the number of times to restroom is...
I am taking Apriso (I missed that in my signature, just added now). I have tried Canasa rectal meds before, but I would rather avoid that. I've got c-diff while I have been using Canasa. It might not...
Hi, I have mild UC, and I am doing pretty well during day time. But I have a problem at night time mostly. I have to go to bathroom 2 - 4 times at night. 1 time, excellent and very rare. 2 times...
I like to recommend digestive enzyme. When food is not digested well, it's going to make gas and also that will hurt your bowels as well. Refer to my post. I've got significant result....
I've got a significant improvement with digestive enzyme. The result is really visible and immediate as soon as you take. I take one or two capsules every meal. Refer to my post for the detail:...
I had the same problem all the time, and I thought it was just a part of my UC. But it's gone now after taking digestive enzyme. See my post here:...
How about trying digestive enzyme? Here is a post on my experience: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2390767 ...

I had an endoscopy several months ago, and I still have UC although it's mild. I am still taking Apriso. Actually I am thinking of stopping Apriso and just taking more enough supplements. These days...
I was diagnosed with UC in 2008, and I was worst one year ago, but doing much better these days. One of the biggest problem with me was farting. I felt pain when farting and I could not know whether...
