Hey bananagirl - Glad it's nothing! How's the Welchol working out for you? I have the same symptoms and same diet as you and was curious about it. Happy Birthday!...
I'm in fight UC...I'm going to purchase it tomorrow and add to Rowasa....
I'm confused...are you using a pill, suppository, or enema? What is the procedure?...
Funny story with a similar experience: I went to a GI when I first started having symptoms of UC. He did just about every test there was and declared nothing was wrong with me and it was all in my...
Thanks for the suggestions! By meds I meant fever reducers..I'll stick with the Tynenol and hope I get over this before Christmas. It's the first time I've had a fever in years..forgot how awful a...
Hello all, I got the dreaded flu from my daughter! I'm on day 3 and am still miserable. I have been taking Tynenol Flu and Sinus tabs but they are causing a lot of intestinal discomfort. I noticed...
I have a similar diet to the one posted in your signature...mostly SCD. I'm on a bunch of meds though too. Its awesome you do so well without meds!...
So I'm assuming you are no longer master of your domain......
I have a smoothie that contains about 4 oz. of blueberries, 6 oz. of coconut milk, a couple ounces of water, a banana, and 1 scoop of whey protein powder (Isopure Unflavored)....
In Seinfeldian I think he is hinting at masturbating for 24 straight hours... Edit: I triggered a censor I guess...should have said pet the snake or something...
I hope you heal quickly Katie!...
Hope you start feeling better! Have they said anything about your appendix? I guess it comes out anyway during your scheduled surgery. Feel better!...
For those of you doing the home FTs, what are you having the donors poop into? I know for fecal testing the doctor provides those toilet trays, but can the public buy those? Thanks....
I had the same symptoms except I had lost about 20 lbs. I ended up in the hospital and had a diagnosis similar to lildidge - UC Flare and Chronic Appendicitis. They didn't want to take my appendix...
I wouldn't be so fast to rip on the doctor other forum members. Xifaxin is considered the best treatment for SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which could be what the OP has, especially if...
Hope you get the proper care....good luck!...
Just had my 3rd infusion about 2 weeks ago. My bowel movements are just about normal and I go 1-2 times/day. However, every time I had non gluten grains I get a lot of pain....so still pretty much...
I had doctor after doctor (4 in all) tell me I had IBS for 2 years even though I had lost 20+ lbs. unintentionally and had 5 loose stools/day. I had a colonoscopy done by the first GI I saw which he...
bananagirl...my doc hasn't mentioned taking it out again although he always tells me at my appointments if I am getting the bad appendix pains along with even a low fever to go straight to the ER. I...
Since soystud hasn't popped in yet....women walking around their house naked in the winter....best thread ever on this forum. I need to tell my single friends to find a woman with UC :smilewinkgrin:...
Hope it works out for you! I, like you, have the appendix pain thing going on and was told I had a dilated appendix. Remicade is taking care of just about all of my symptoms except the appendix pain....
Eva, Lortab is liquid vicodin. Its the same thing I was prescribed after my tonsillectomy....
Those of you who go the cold potato route....do you cook it and then put it in the fridge for eating or do you just throw it in the fridge right out of the bag w/out cooking it before eating?...
My first infusion was yesterday too. I didn't get any observations though. I was out of there about 2.5 hours from the time I walked into the door. They gave me some claritin and a couple of tynelol...
I've been contemplating the same thing recently. My doctor is great but his staff is incompetent. They have messed up dosages of pred and gone 5-6 days without calling me back at times. One of my...
I had/have the exact same symptoms as you did/do. The only difference is I'm 35. The enemas, as suggested by others is a good idea. They have helped me some but I'm not 100%...closer to 75%. I am...
Hello InSoFla, One quick question for you....which would be absorbed better in your opinion LDN pills (containing only dextrose) or the LDN drops (LDN mixed w/water and pg). Thanks!...
I'm very interested in what helps with eradicating the fungus PK. I am looking forward to your added contributions in this thread. I tried the WOO at a low dose (1-2 drops w/water) with the reuteri...
Try one of these shakes if you want to gain weight. The first 2 are SCD legal. FYI - I prefer boiled egg whites to raw eggs....they are easier on my digestive tract. Good luck!...
Peanut butter is allowed on SCD as long as the only ingredient is peanuts....
Matt, When I went to the hospital in April I had both my first ever UC flare (diagnosed with UC at the hospital 6 days later) and at the same time had an inflamed appendix. They wouldn't take mine...
I'm tapering down too and am at 25 mg. The tapering makes me constantly tired. I could sleep 12 hours straight right now if I didn't have to work. I went from sleepless to always sleepy when I went...
Leg cramps, urge to pee, and insomnia are/were my big side effects. Now that I'm cutting dosage these are starting to minimize but now I'm getting constant headaches and severe tiredness from...
I'm almost on the same pred reduction cycle as you canadagal and you scum. I'm about to start my week at 30mg today and am going from splitting my dose to just one dose. What time of the day do you...
Well I cheated and started it last night. The only real problem was the air in the bottle...how do you get rid of it without liquid coming out? Because of all the air I was only about to get 2/3 of...
bananagirl: I mince up hard boiled eggs sometimes instead of the raw ones, I also add a little bit of sugar free vanilla extract to flavor things up a little bit..lol Rick: Try amazon.com (if they...
Hey Rick, Here are some high calorie shakes. The first two are SCD compliant. I drink the second shake listed for breakfast every morning....
I start tomorrow night with Rowasa too for the first time. Once you are done with the enema do you have to stay laying down for hours and hours or can you get up after 20 minutes if you have to? I...
EastCoastGal13: I haven't had any issues on SCD but I started it as soon as I got out of the hospital. I really don't know if its working because I've been on prednisone and apriso the entire time...
Awesome, now I have a treatment for both my UC and hairy palms!...
I'm new too EC Girl..welcome! I'm glad they caught your UC before it got too out of control. Sounds like you have a good Gastro. Good luck!...
I took it about a year ago. It helped slightly with stomach cramps but no a lot. It made my mouth and eyes extremely dry. I ended up stopping it because of the eye and mouth dryness. I still have...
I'm right there with you canadagal. I got released from the hospital 6 weeks ago and am currently on 40 mg of pred. I usually get to bed between 2-3am and get up around 7-8am. In those 5 hours I wake...
To piggy back off of what fruitgirl said, each apriso tab only has .5 mg of aspartame, so 4 pills/day would only be 2 mg/day. A diet soda has 180 mg by comparison. So 360 apriso pills (90 days worth...
