Hello, I was dignosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the beginning of the year. I just started seeing a specialist who says my symptoms sound more like Crohn's than UC. I am supposed to have an UGI and...
I very recently quit taking it so around 6 months. The bleeding returned after three months and like I said, I still had the diarrhea, cramping, pain, gas, joint pain, etc while on it the whole time....
The Canasa didn't work from the start, I saw no improvement. The Lialda got rid of the bleeding at first but I still had all my other symptoms and then eventually the bleeding returned so it was...
That's why I didn't take them when this last doctor recommended them. He was recommeding the steroid enemas for three months and if I found remission he said I could stay on those. I'm not a doctor...
I've heard it's easier to retain the foam ones so I might ask this new doc for that. I have a lot of issues taking medicine rectally. When I first started taking Canasa I saw a psychologist because I...
This may be a dumb question but my last doctor had mentioned an enema, I'm not sure how to take it or what to do. Let me re-phrase that, I understand how to take it, I don't understand what to do...
Hi Gary, I just changed my signature because I've changed my medicaiton and diet. I've only recently started the Psyllium Husk and haven't seen too much change. I went a whole day without having a BM...
Thank you for the response. I have tried diet changes, I notice gluten to be a problem, however recently I've been having a very bad burning pain under my ribcage and I've been very nauseous. Bread...
Hello I have been flaring for over a year but was only diagnosed in April. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Procitis and my doctor said it was only the first few inches of my rectum and assured me it...
I absolutely love VSL# DS. It's the one thing that finally put me into remission and I was able to stop using all my prescription drugs while on it. I was in remission for 22 days, ran out, starting...
1. Male or female? 2. When is the last time you cried 3. How many time per year do you cry? 3. Does UC make you cry (literally) 1. Female-25 2. A few hours ago 3. Since getting UC, probably 3-4 times...
Thanks everyone, I think I'll put a call into my doctor and see what he says, and try exercise. I do yoga as a form of therapy, I'm completely obsessed with it and begin training to become a yoga...
I tapered as my doctor instructed, but then again, he did want me to start a steroid enema the day I was finally off it, but I didn't take the enema because these steroids cause so many other...
I've heard and dealt with the negative side effects of Prednisone while on the drug, but has anyone had symptoms when they quit taking it? I tapered off and yesterday was my first day without it and...
I've been on pred for 4 days and have already seen significant improvement with this flare. I know this is not long enough for me to give you a full description of what it has done to me, symptom...
Yes, I say remission because the bleeding has stopped, although it does happen once every week or so very randomly, and because my doctor says I'm in remission if the bleeding is gone. Again, I've...
Hello, I posted in the UC section and I'd also like to post here to get input from people with IBS. I have been having bleeding for over 10 months, I was diangosed with Ulcerative Proctitis over two...
I've been gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, preservative free, soy free, and corn free for over a week, so far NO imporvement in symptoms. I'm hoping maybe it just takes longer than a week,...
I know he took biopsies during both but I believe he only took them in the rectum where he saw the ulceration and inflammation. Just to put it out there, I am seeing a new GI the second week of July...
Wouldn't I still be bleeding if my UC has spread?...
I was first diagnosed by full colonscopy April 1st, then I was continuting to have issues while being on Canasa Supps and my doctor did a flex sig on May 4th. He put me on a steroid supp, but I...
Hello, I'm a new member but have been using this site for vital information since I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis at the beginning of April of this year. I have a question though. I believe...
