Hey guys, actually I called my insurance and they said it was still discontinued but that's just mine. Man, I really hope they will start making again....
If it's truly back, this is great news. Delzicol was iffy for me. Work the word....
I was watching that youtube video of the asacol tablets in delzicol and someone recently commented that they brought back the regular asacol 400mg. I'm assuming this is in America. Anyone heard...
I do have lots of gas so maybe it could be that. I have one bm everyday, which is formed sometimes and then other days it is kinda spongey formed. Just depends. Been back on rowasa for about 7 weeks....
Yes still on rowasa. Does spasming feel like a cramp? Like side ache?...
Ive been on the verge of remission but recently ive had lower left abdomen cramping/pain after my 1 morning BM. It kinda feels like a side ache after running but lower. It goes away after 15 mins....
Is bleeding the only symptom? I had hemorrhoids a year ago and i freaked myself out so much, i think i worried myself into a mini flare of UC. I was kinda like you. Is it this or that? Try the rowasa...
So the Rowasa is working great. One question though. I have solid bms but at the tail end of the bm there is a smidgen of blood. Nothing seems to be on the rest of the poop. Is this hemorrhoids or...
You can drink 1 ensure a day. That stuff is packed with calories and nutrients. I think it's lactose free too. People drink that stuff as meals sometimes so it's pretty safe....
Gary, how is the Lialda treating ya? I stopped it and went back to Delzicol...
Do you use it every day still? And are you in or close to remission?...
Ahhh seems like the apprentice has surpassed the master quincy...
Just wanted to encourage people to try rowasa if you haven't already. I was entering a mini flare with blood and loose stools. Stomach was gurgling like crazy. After 1 week on Rowasa my symptoms have...
I know probiotics are good for you but does anyone know of any foods that promote good bacteria and flora? On a side note, i stoppped eating thiss costco brand wheat bread and my gas totally went...
Yea, ive been taking rowasa and my farts have changed from smelling like sulfur to plain ol farts from back in the day. The only thing is, I am soooo bloated and I fart all day. Its crazy. Maybe its...
Interesting, so would you say when we are in remission our digestion is goes back to normal or are our bowels just more reactive than most other people regardless. I feel like even in remission i...
Wondering why we UCers have so much gas all the time. Anybody know the science behind it?...
Hey Scrutch. I've been taking oral meds (Asacol now Delzicol) for 4 years and had been in remission but recently needed to take the Rowasa enemas to help me get out of a flare. People on this forum...
This is interesting - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10811330 Kinda old (2000) but interesting. Short term stress doesn't seem to cause exacerbation of UC but long term does....
I think Gary means that there is a strong possibility that your mind and mental state could be a significant factor in this disease. It varies for each person but the flare ups I've had have come...
Oh no I definitely went into a mini flare within the past 3 days. Quincy, when you take fibre, is it a no-no to take it with your meds? Does it slow down the medication or interfere with Asacol?...
Oh that makes sense!...
I apologize for maybe not being clear enough. I know it reaches up there but i was wondering if anyone ever wonders if it goes all the way around the sides of the colon wall. Think of a pipe with...
Ok thanks for that but I also meant "reaches" as in all the way around the tube of the colon. Like the top and bottom of the tube. Seems like the only way is to roll around in bed or does the rowasa...
Do you guys think rowasa spreads on its own or does it simply pool on one side of your colon since you are laying down? I was just curious about this....
Thank you ima. I appreciate your post. Quincy, do you ever wonder how he rowasa gets different sides of the colon or does it just pool and get one side of your colon. If you lay on your left side...
I was taking psyllium husk, but then when all the crazy gurgling happened i stoppped. So do you guys think that the area i feel the rrumbling is where the iinflammation is? Rowasa seems to of helped...
Hi everyone, my intestines have been doing the gurgle thing like crazy. I always feel its like really low, like almost by my rectum, maybe a little above that. I also have bright blood in stool. I...
thanks quincy. Im glad you are here to encourage people about the rowasa....
Thanks hekela. Thats probabllyy what i will aim for. Quincy. On average how long do you use the enemas before you feel you can go back too maintenance mode? 2-3 weeks? I only go once a day but my...
I am going to start using them again since I feel like I'm about to flare and have seen some blood in my solid stools. My lower intestines are gurgling like crazy. It feels like it's gurgling right...
I just switched from Delzicol to Lialda. I am taking 2.4 g also. My doc prescribed to take 1 pill twice a day but it seems to not be as well as taking them all in the morning. So now I take 2 in the...
Good luck Gary. Let us know how Lialda is wworking for you as I was thinking of trying it too....
I lift weights and my butt is a little sore after each work out. I had a really hard BM a while back and I think that caused some hemorrhoids or a fissure. It gets better over time but takes a while....
I had soreness after BMs for a while but I'm pretty sure I have internal hemmies or a fissure. It got better over the course of 5 months but I still feel a little soreness if I sit for a long time...
Very interesting Madpotter. Maybe, some people are susceptible to getting the disease or have a mild version of it and stressful events trigger the avalanche. This is hypothetical, but I wonder if we...
I take Optimum Nutrition Platinum whey protein powder for lifting weights and I don't seem to have any issues. With UC, I was totally expecting the worse, but it actually doesn't affect me at all!...
yea thanks guys. I just know that my doctor always says that the books don't say stress causes UC but he personally sees too much of a correlation between his patients and stress. My mother was...
Sorry, I'm sure this has been touched upon already. I was wondering how many of you got your first symptoms of UC after a stressful event. I first had my weird symptoms of D after my dad passed away...
Yes! stabbing pain, that describes it well. Thanks everyone for the support. I think ill do every sunday and thursday too....
Thanks for responding Quincy. I was thinking that too. Hey on average, when you are on maintenance, do you average about 2 enemas per week? Since there's 7 days, I would assume the night you use one...
Does anyone get a dull pain in their rectum after using Rowasa. I am in remission but have been using Rowasa for maintenance. Last night I used it and I was fine but when I went to bed and laid down...
hey Capjeep, I don't think you have to worry about the coating that much. If you put a pill in a glass of water and it dissolves pretty quickly and youre left with the asacol looking pill. So I don't...
(posted in another thread too) Hey everyone, I have been taking Delzicol for about 3 weeks now. I feel fine and it's working great. I can't speak for everyone, but it seems the same as regular 400mg...
Hey everyone, I have been taking Delzicol for about 3 weeks now. I feel fine and it's working great. I can't speak for everyone, but it seems the same as regular 400mg Asacol, if not better. I was...
Hmm...I do have some Kaboom that i can try. I think it has oxy in there. Thanks Q....
Hey quick question. Anyone have any ways on how to get Rowasa stains out of a carpet? When I first started Rowasa, I was horrible at it and some spilled on the carpet. No idea where I was aiming. I...
I actually put the pill in a glass of water and the capsule dissolved shortly. So i just took it with the capsule on, unless the capsule has some high tech coating that dissolves in water and not in...
Hey everyone, I put up a new post about Delzicol but for those of you who have switched from Asacol 400mg , do you have any advice for which new med to start taking? I've been taking Delzicol for...
Wow, I don't know if I would take the Asacol out of the capsule but if it is the same thing, that's something to think about. Man.....maybe I should just switch to Asacol HD. Well I've taken 2 doses...
