Oh no I'm so sorry! I was so excited for you thinking no more uc. I hope that this ft works out for you!!...
Bananagirl, that's awesome news, congrats!! I haven't been here in a while - never heard your c diff news. Does this mean all this time you thought you had uc you actually had c diff? Or do you have...
On3yahoo - have u tried anythong else? Pred, humira, 6mp?? I refused pred. I think I would rather have the surgery than take all those meds....
On3yahoo - four years flaring?? I'm so sorry! Yes this will ruin my life as well, I usually work full time plus some, but I'm an independent contractor, so no vacation pay, no sick pay, no disability...
I'm taking four. I feel like I'm half dead right now. Cant take care of my 19-month-old and can't work....
I haven't been here in a while as I was feeling well. I'm assuming there have been a ton of posts about asacol discontinuing. I switched to asacol HD and it put me into a huge flare. Now I've...
Pathogenkiller, how did you cleanse? I've seen OTC products but haven't tried anything yet....
Thanks everyone! I didn't go in. I stood in a hot shower for about an hour, aiming the spray at my right side and then on my neck, shoulders and back, and then I took tons of Tylenol. Got rid of 80%...
Great. No I don't have a fever. I was trying to spare my husband and I an ER visit during vacation, but this is really painful. Had it for a couple days last week and then it went away but started up...
Feels like my back is broken across my mid back, it's so weird, and even a deep breath is so painful...
Hi everyone. I've finally got myself back into remission, and now I've got this horrible pain from my right side upper abdomen into my mid back and up through my neck, radiating through my ribs also,...
Hi Lodi, Saw my GI yesterday and he said that it sounds like a gall bladder problem which is exacerbated by my flare. He said those are all symptoms of possibly gall stones, but since my symptoms are...
Hi Lodi, I get sharp pains and dull pains under my right rib cage also, and since I've been flaring I've been having a sharp pain in my mid back, right side, as well as all-around discomfort in my...
Nadia I have thalassemia as well as uc. I can give you some advice but I'm not sure we are allowed to give our private info. Moderators, is that ok?...
Thanks everyone. I'll keep it up and hope for the best :-) Bananagirl, that's exactly how I feel and I look five months pregnant. So uncomfortable! Also getting cramps in my stomach just under my...
That's great your iron went up! My first flare was during my pregnancy and my iron went down to 8.5. I got four infusions of venofer, and felt great. I still only got up to about a 10, but I felt so...
Oh, I also took it with Abilify, took away all of the anxiety and I slept so well at night - BUT you will gain weight on that one definitely (but maybe if you need to, that's a good thing) Prednisone...
So I bought a bottle and have taken one capsule per night for the last three nights. My stomach is really bloated, to the point I'm too full to eat more than a few bites, feeling like my diaphragm is...
I've taken it for 12 years, but usually as part of a cocktail, meaning with either Effexor or cymbalta. I gained too much weight from Effexor, so I changed to cymbalta and I felt great. I stopped...
Onions and garlic make me bleed, even when I'm in remission and taking meds. Sucks. I love onions and garlic :-(...
I quit smoking about 12 years ago. Had bad diarrhea for about four months, then went back to normal. Had no idea what it was. Fast forward to last year, during my pregnancy, began having horrible...
Thanks everyone for all the encouraging words :-) I didn't know there are steroid enemas. I guess I'm still a newbie. I need to do more research. Fruitgirl - I bought an ovulation predictor test, and...
Thanks soystud, good idea, I will try gluten free and sugar free for now. Maybe if I can have some rice it will be a little easier. Fruitgirl, I know they're the same but I first started with Asacol...
I was in full remission!! Was taking asacol x 9 and Rowasa enemas every other night. Somehow I got it in my head that I'm not getting pregnant again because of the Rowasa (the meds have definitely...
Mindoverbutter, yes that's exactly how I felt. Couldn't move, just wanted to lay around (and hate people lol)! The day after, I didn't take it, I was a total spaz around the house - did loads and...
soystud - my first GI, very young and just out of school, said, "Oh, we'll just give you some prednisone, and taper you off. Every time you flare." Before we had tried anything. I told him about my...
Stereofidelic - no warnings on the box. But weird things affect me, like folic acid in any form, even eating broccoli, turns me into a very, very angry person, like I-want-to-punch-people-in-the-face...
Thanks Lodi. I think I'll take your advice - though my husband probably won't appreciate it .......
Right now I'm taking extended release, but when my GI first prescribed it he prescribed immediate release. Didn't make much difference on my symptoms and its easier to take just the one pill in the...
So I tried l-glutamine powder for a couple of days, and it made my depression worse and turned me into a huge b!$@#, and a lazy b!$@# at that. Haven't taken it the last two days and feeling so much...
Thanks guys. I just started and the only think I'm really craving like crazy are canned black olives - not bread, not ice cream - black olives lol. Weird, huh? It's still early though, I'm sure those...
Are canned black olives ok for SCD? The only ingredient I see is ferrous gluconate, so not sure about it. Thanks :-)...
Yeah Pepee, I'd like to know too - pretty please :-)...
Is acidophilus with pectin scd legal? I wonder if my prenatal is legal. It's the only one that didn't make me nauseous, so I hope so. Just started scd today, cooking up the soup right now :-) I did...
I have thalassemia, which means my red blood cells don't carry enough iron, but that's always been the case. Also probably a bit dehydrated from my recent flare, so maybe that's what it's from. Last...
I'd been in remission for a good eight months after being diagnosed last year during my pregnancy, and so I (very foolishly) stopped using my every-other-night Rowasa enemas, thinking they were...
