3 month flare was pretty bad for me. I went back to intro though so I'm not sure if this means I'll have another flare in 3 months. Hopefully not!...
O yea, coconut oil and milk once you can tolerate it. Coconut ice cream....
Typically after a flare, I go crazy and load up. 6 meals a day of ground beef, turkey, chicken, homemade scd yogurt, cheddar cheese....
Work is a struggle but not impossible. I recommend easing into it. Start with a part time gig and nothing too stressful. I'm always drawn to startups which are inherently stressful. Boundaries are...
If you'd like to partner with me, XXXXXXXXXXXX I believe we can find a cure in the next decade!...
Want to partner with me? I believe we can find a cure in the next decade. *this is for good cause and congrats to you for doing this! But links that promote fundraising are not allowed per forum...
Hey guys, Just wanted your opinion. So after 12 days of watery diarrhea, my system just stopped having diarrhea. I should be happy but a little anxious. I do feel colon spasms and yes, I do feel the...
Thanks notsosickly girl. Right after I posted this post, the blood stopped and I had gluey poop. If the next one is still watery, I have decided to use the Canasa!...
Thanks guys. I have been on intro but I stopped the yogurt which helped to make less bms, but they got worse? I don't known if that makes any sense. I guess we'll try Canasa and see how that goes! I...
Been having watery and loose stool since colonoscopy a week ago. Yesterday night I had blood in my soupy stool and again this morning. Calle my GI and he said.. Take more meds! Asacol and canasa....
Also try homemade pecan milk. Easiest ti digest (better than almond) and easy to make! Commercial brands be wary of those....
Also since gatorade makes my abd unhappy, I stuck with watered down coconut water! And like Max, only had half the prep. Grr at wasted money though =P @Max...oh China....
Thanks so much everyone =) completely on target - procedure is nothing to worry about. However it really messed up my gut flora. Diarrhea all day since procedure =(...
Interesting theory. A+...
Anyone can recommend a good doctor?...
Me! I flared a lot in China and didn't know it was UC because I wasn't diagnosed yet. Went on SCD diet from friend's reco and went into remission. Now that I know I have UC, I'm still against meds...
Same experience as your wife, I'm 24. Recently diagnosed (22nd of Jan). I am encouraged the Canasa worked for her but why did the doc prescribe Asacol? If it's mild I don't see why increase in Rx?...
Sorry one more thing: regarding iron, not sure how you feel about eating inards, but pork liver cooked with ginger can help with that. Personally I quite like inards! Try to get in a chicken heart...
Sorry for spamming haha I keep forgetting stuff. Vitamins: check pecanbread.com. I take Freeda multivitamin but only one a day (it suggests 3 but it makes your urine all neon yellow). I take vitamin...
Also like some have suggested, try cutting gluten and dairy for a week. I cut gluten, dairy and grains (yes, rice even though I'm Asian!) and the tiredness and brain fog seriously disappeared. I felt...
Hey buddy, Good job finding community! I'm 24 and was recently diagnosed too, though I suspected we had UC earlier and it never flared until now (perhaps my drinking and partying habits or being in...
Had that happen to me! Suspect immune system craziness!...
Bikram is great for my UC. For 90 minutes I felt symptom free, and for hours after I felt invincible! It goes away eventually but your mind is relaxed and that is always a good thing =)...
Omgosh cherry juice concentrate sounds divine. I must find this! Thanks so much. My bms have slowed down, but colon still acting crazy. I slept and then it woke me up an hour later. Patience! Haha...
@garylouisville I am no doc but my doc said the same thing and my record is to get it only if absolutely necessary (e.g. You need surgery and need to confirm or else you'll die). Before my...
Wow @hateuc I felt like I shouldn't have gotten it because I suspected UC anyway, and I wasn't planning on taking the drugs my doc would prescribe unless absolutely necessary! Good to know. Have you...
@joanna what brands of supplements do you take? Did you decide on those supplements yourself or was a doc involved?...
@joanna yea exactly, haha! I haven't tried yet. I don't like to use drugs that are symptom controllers rather than meds for root causes. By the way, the SCD yogurt calmed me down! So thanks so so...
Thanks so much for replying! I agree. How much is a lot of yogurt? I've kept it to about 1.5 cup since the procedure cuz I wasn't sure but you're right. I should flood my system again. So grateful...
Help I'm freaking out. I freaked out at my doc and he prescribed Asacol and Immodium. What should I do? I had my colonoscopy 4 days ago. I've been having spasms at night when I lie down. Today I had...
Just had my first one and just diagnosed with UC. I had homemade 24 hours fermented yogurt (SCD legal), chicken broth with carrots and celery cooked for over 4 hours. Peppermint tea seemed to calm my...
I'm only 24 but getting my first colonoscopy in a couple days. Any tips? I've had tons of GI tract issues (thank you China) and now that I'm back in the USA, I've been on the SCD Diet for 2+ months....
Antibiotics will do that to you. Try loading your system with good bacteria again. Homemade Yogurt?...
Also.. Yoga? Exercise regularly but I was afraid of fainting on the treadmill so yoga works for me....
Specific Carbohydrates Diet has worked quite well for me. However I guess you can consider it pretty extreme and it's very time consuming. Helpful to have family or friends =) if you find it too...
I agree with Lodi. I also had issues with egg whites (they made me nauseous) so try yolks first?...
