I love all the great ideas above. I would also add 1). Reading a good book. I enjoy Janet Evanavich. She makes me laugh. I recently read Sycamore Row by John Grisham. Living in a book and living...
I have been using essential oils now for about 2 months. I'm feeling a lot better. Most of my bouts of UC are brought on by stress. The essential oils really help me control stress. It's amazing....
Do I need to check with my GI or other doctors about using these? Will they interfere with meds? Has anyone had success with oils? Essential Oils for > Mom > Joy:JOY contains : Lemon (Citrus...
I'm not sure I have it but seems like it. I found this and have been following it for 2 days with signs of feeling better. Supportive treatment for diarrhea includes: * Plenty of fluids. Choose...
You know you have UC when you fall asleep on the toilet....
I wrote both the FDA and FTC. It took me less than 10 minutes. Just think what an impact it would have if everyone took the time to write. Again, thanks shadow....

I've had the same. I was told it is from malnourishment. I've been trying to have a probiotic shake twice a day, one full of fruits and one full of veggies. It seems to be starting to help....
Um, I think she needs support, not criticism. If you've already started to poo, it's messier to go in somewhere. Then you have to try and clean up after yourself and what do you do? Wear your soiled...
I'm SO sorry. It is horrible. It is the worst thing ever. I'm with you!!!!!! I would rather clean up at home. To me, it's not just the stain, it's the smell. Why does it smell so much worse than...

Marie, How are you doing these days?...
Thank you two for today's chuckle. *smile*...
I'm sorry but rice cakes are NOT gonna stop you from binging on pastries. Yikes! LOL I crave sweets, always have, probably always will. On Weight Watchers, I would satisfy my chocolate cravings with...
hmmmmm......I have been taking them about 2 weeks. I have felt faint and like I was going to pass out also. Considering all my other side effects and that I have felt BETTER since starting the...

Sherry/Red, Wow! Thank you! One disease at a time. One day at a time!...
As far a Humira goes, I may be on it next month. I am certainly no expert but it seems odd that you were taken straight to Humira. I wouldn't worry about side affects. You can get too caught up in...
I had been on weight watchers pretty much my whole life. I MISS TOMATOES! I couldn't even THINK of eating vegetable soup. My gut can't take tomato sauce. I could eat cooked carrots and potatoes but...
I drink water in a beautiful, fancy glass to make it feel festive. When I get tired of plain water, I drink G2. I mix in crystal light but it's more water than crystal light. I buy Pur Aqua Frut at...

I have found a few pharmacies around that still have the 400 so I'm using them. My GI prescribed the 800. I have those on hold at another pharmacy. I have no insurance. The 800s are $205 more...
