Ok, so I'm totally getting into resistant starch now. It seems effective and makes sense. I'm trying to load up on good bacteria and then feed it resistant starch. It started with the potatoe...
So, I've taken Histame a few times before eating and have not noticed any difference. How many capsules should I take per day? The bottle has 30....
Keep us posted as to what GYN says. Glad your pancreas was fine. I don't have any suggestions as to what would cause thickening of the cervix. I'm actually overdue for a GYN appt. myself!...
I could not tolerate Imuran. Surprisingly, I could take 6MP much easier. I would switch to 6MP....
Does anyone take this dosage? I took it during my last flare and nothing changed. Doctor prescribed it today after last week's colonoscopy. I hope it works this time....
I cannot bring myself to drink goats milk...what's your second choice? Although there are lots of products here made from goats milk......
Soy, how are you using this? R u drinking it? Putting it on potatoes?...
Like the shoes....
Thanks, guys! Gary, I always wonder the same thing...at what exact temp does the resistant starch start counting? Banana, what's ACV? Toomuch, what are your other safe foods?...
Grew up listening to Car Talk. Among many other talk radio shows....
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting. Love to see research being done for colon cancer....
Could it be a side effect from the Remi? This is totally unrelated, but when my mom was receiving chemo treatments for colon cancer a side effect of the chemo was severe sensitivity to cold. Such a...
I think saying you are ok with someone you love taking their own life to avoid suffering is easier said than done. Everyone is so freely posting they are ok with losing loved ones if that's what...
Does it help my credibility, soy, if I'm not a native Texan? Remind me again what your regimen entails. You are able to maintain remission through no meds and no grains, right?...
So, I know cold potatoes have resistant starch but what about the hot ones? I'm in my second flare and both times potatoes are the most soothing to me. I feel at my best when I eat a warm baked...
Good luck on Wednesday, Sherry! We will all be thinking about you! Let us know as soon as you find something out....
He didn't say...he actually didn't mention it to me right after colonoscopy. I read it on my report. I follow up in office next week. Does this mean I have diverticulitis?...
I'm not following.......
Go to an ophthalmologist. I get my checked annually by one. I don't know that you can lose your eyesight but you can get inflammation in your eyes when you have UC....
Didn't have this two years ago...new finding in my scope today. Anyone else have this?...
My GI told me today it's common to have inflammation in the colon near the appendix with proctitis. He said most times if the inflammation in the rectum can be controlled the inflammation near...
Sounds like you need a new GI if you don't agree with restarting mesalamines after pericarditis. I read it can be caused from systemic inflammatory disorders. Maybe get other opinions on your next...
If it's not bloating from gas then I would get it checked out by your doctor....
Got away with only drinking two liters of Golytely last night! Threw the rest out as soon as I got back from colonoscopy today. Felt so good! So, I have micro-ulceration, loss of vascular pattern,...
Golytely. I have to drink four liters of this disgusting clear liquid! Two liters down...have to wake up at 2 am to drink the other two liters! :(...
I agree. I think you need a flex sig...not the whole scope. You won't have to do the whole prep just an enema. I would also try to stick to the class of drug you are in...mesalamines and maybe switch...
So, I'm prepping for a 9 am colonoscopy...any tips on how not to gag on the solution? I threw up a little already. I'm washing it down with ginger ale and Gatorade. So gross. This is my fourth...
Deltaforce, I'll look into the sprouted green peas...thanks for the suggestion. Why do you think you flare in October?...
Thanks, IamCurious...Ok, I'll try Histame. I have a major hunch my body is overloaded with histamine....
Did you just say hydroxypropylcellulose? Maybe I should order a bottle or two of that by itself....
Thanks, Old Mike. I also wondered if this time of year causes too much stress...holidays, the year ending, etc...I also have my twin sons' birthday, my deceased mother's birthday, my anniversary, my...
Hey, guys!! How are you and your colons? I'm back with the start of a flare! Noooo!!!! Ironically, I'm scheduled for an overdue colonoscopy on Monday. :(. I need advice - how do I stop this??? I went...
About to try this... can anyone recommend a reliable brand? I am flaring again after a year of remission....
That happened to me...kept getting sinus infections. It turned out I have a selective antibody immune deficiency. I'm now on prophylaxis (indefinitely taking antibiotics). I would think the chances...
Last Sunday night I was up all night throwing up. I had eaten at a new restaurant that night and decided to consume a large amount of gluten. I also had some almond milk that evening. Don't know what...
Every time I eat ginger I get severe burning (not kidding) when I pass stool. The burning is so bad my eyes tear and I think I'm going to see blood for sure. Obviously, I'm avoiding it now. The first...
Awesome! Thanks for posting! I love to grill....
rbartolo, tell me your story in regards to taking IVIG... I recently got diagnosed with selective antibody immune deficiency (primary immune deficiency). This popped up while I was taking 6MP which I...
I started taking Imuran for that very reason...to reduce my risk of colon cancer. I already had dysplasia after flaring for a year. I was on max dose of Asacol, had allergic reactions to enemas and...
Congrats!! That's awesome! I'm sure your colon is happy, too!...
I would say using the usual stress management techniques. Get therapy, relaxation techniques, exercise, talking to friends. My first flare spiraled out-of-control due to stress and I could never get...
Ditto turtlepower. Happened to me on Asacol and Lialda. Soystud, I had to laugh out loud......
Right now alternating between Bactrim and Arithromycin. I take them 30 days at a time and switch. I have immune deficiency. So far since taking antibiotics my UC is in remission....
I take antibiotics every day and have for months. It hasn't bothered my UC...in fact I'm in remission right now. I respond well to them....
There was a post on here before about someone using their own underwear to wipe. Desperate times call for desperate measures....
Spartan, I did the reverse of your situation. I took Imuran, which I couldn't tolerate, and switched to 6MP. I was told 6MP is the broken version of Imuran. I had the same dark circles and people...
Soystud, I like the Circle Game. The song you posted reminds me of the children's book "Snow" by Uri Shulevitz. BTW, love children's literature, too....
I like that period, too, John. The church where I had my twins baptized is home to an active Bach Society. I love the Federalist period and anything Colonial Revival. I enjoy quality antiques and...
1000 mg of curcumin? I read a few months ago a blurb in Prevention magazine about a recently published study done by Baylor College of Medicine showing curcumin helping with depression. Could be a...
I remember the first book I read in a math class in college was "How to Lie with Statistics" by Darrell Huff. You can make statistics say anything you want them to say. It doesn't matter how...
