That's awesome! I'll look into the iron, thank you. My iron level was 2 points above the minimum range, so I don't know why she even put me on it. The water sounds like a good idea though....
Thank you, Lodi 😀 Like I said, I have nothing to lose, and with the shock of my diagnosis, I'm thinking something extreme needs to be done. Obviously, I'm hoping it works. I guess we'll see...
The website I provided does not sell anything. It's a breakdown explaining what juicing does. It's not for ulcerative colitis specifically, it's for everything. I found this site AFTER I started the...
I was devastated when I was diagnosed, LAST WEEK. I never had the symptoms that a majority of people have, UNTIL I got on this medicine. That's WHY I started this post... I get off the medicine, the...
Seriously, Kazbern??? Read the title of my post... Get off the pessimism. Are you HAPPY living with these disease? I doubt it. So try being open minded to stuff DIFFERENT than what you've been doing....
Update: I stopped taking the Lialda Wednesday after my morning dose. That night, I felt amazing. The following day I felt great, not wonderful, and then tried breaking open my vitamins to take the...
Michelejc, how long before you saw results with Lialda? How has your experience with it been? Any side effects?...
Lol there we go!! What is pentasa? What are you taking now? Did you or have you had any side effects? Were you on any other medicines before finding one you liked?...
Conquer UC, what's the squatty potty? Sounds interesting. Have people had luck with that?...
Banana girl, that's what I'm concerned about with the dark stools with Lialda. Apparently it can cause internal bleeding... Great. That's insane that it caused you so much damage after just a month....
Oh no... How long were you on the lialda? My stools are just like small, kind of thin, and dark. She also gave me an iron supplement, and I'm noticing a darkening of my stools. I stopped the iron...
Thank you guys. I guess another question I have, since I've never had any major symptoms, how do I know when I've gone into remission? My doctor said she wants to treat this aggressively so that I...
Thanks. I guess I'm just in denial. This really sucks. I'm scared about what the future holds....
I started the Lialda last week, and it makes me feel kind of heavy, and gives me... Messy, stools. I don't know how else to describe it. I've never had stools like this. The first few days I was...
Yes, I forgot to mention biopsies were taken, and ask if there's anything they find that could be something else, or if it's set in stone. And I forgot to mention that the inflammation was found in a...
Last week I was diagnosed with mild ulcerative colitis last week. I was put on Lialda 3x a day, and a Canasa suppository at night, as well as probiotics. My prescriptions are 150.00 a month, the side...
