What a horrible doctor. Just got back from my gi and he suggested going to the mayo clinic. I told him I had already made an appointment for next month. He said he hoped it was with doctor height...
So i just had my dose upped to 5 pills a day after my colonscopy on Monday. As soon as I started the two pills at a time I started to get a similar feeling as I did from the sulfasalizine. A...
So Ive been fighting a flare since January . My gi has been very hesitant on adding medications. Today I had a colonoscopy and it showed moderate inflammation of the rectum but clean above that. I'm...
SO my symptoms have been ok to not great. I have been on Asacol HD for 17 days at 1 pill 3 times a day. I have read that the dosage when flaring is 2 pills 3 times a day. I have been going back and...
Interesting. I exercise every day. Mostly Nordic skiing and backcountry skiing in the winter and biking in the summer. My first summer with uc I ran a 40 miles trail race. No issues at all. I think...
I know. Not sure what to do. I did get a 2nd opinion a couple of weeks ago but he was not great either. I get the feeling that my doctor does not believe my symptoms are that bad. Its hard because...
So little update and questions So Im on day 4 of 3 800mg pills a day. Symptoms do not seem better(slightly worse). Still have some liquid in the morning then semiformed after that then a little...
Good to know. Symptoms are not too horrible and hopefully with the canasa and rowasa I will be back to 100 percent....
I think he wants to start it light just to make sure I have no adverse side effect. Seems to make sense. Is 2400mg not the correct dose? Thanks Mike...
So Doc today prescribed asacol HD. Of course much to my displeasure he did not order it till today so the pharmacy will not have it in till Monday. Staring on 1 pill for three days 2 pills for...
Colorado. I think there' was very little inflammation as I was not flaring when I had my colonoscopy. Just went for a 2nd opinion with similar results....
Just rectal with canasa and enema. Was put on sulfasalazine when I requested it but did not react well. Thx...
Doing this on my phone so I will keep it short and to the point. Diagnosed kind of 2 years ago after 10 month on and off symptoms. Colonoscopy showed very mild inflammation of the rectum. Told could...
Sure that powder is called kief. It a collection of Chrystal's from the weed(and some plant matter too). It's great to smoke and is higher potency then the bud itself. Sprinkle a little on top of a...
Been smoking for 20 years and currently live in Telluride which is one of the most progressive marijuana communities in the world. In a town of 2000 people there are 4 dispensaries that sell...
Its not bad at all. I really did not find the prep that bad. Sure its not what you want to be doing but rent a couple of good movies and have a bathroom close by. I was not given General anesthesia...
Sorry to hear about your situation. The best advice I can give you is talk to your GI. It does sound like you have UC and I would stick to the medications given to you. Many people here have there...
Happened to me a few months a go. Started sulpha. After around three days I started haveing almost panic like symptoms and troubles breathing. They would come on right after I took my dose and go...
Very cool. Takes a lot of courage to do that. Nice Cup there really is no reason to always look at the negative. She is thin but Im sure part of that could be struggling with crohns her whole life...
Its easy to be self absorbed when you have health issues but remember everyone has problems and issues. That couple over there that looks happy is going through a divorce. That women sipping her wine...
I'm in Colorado...
Yes im definitely staying with the enemas. I think Im done with sulfasalazine I think. Took my morning dose and felt bad again. Chills stomach off and troubles swallowing. Three hours after that dose...
So Im on mesalamine enemas nightly. Overall I have been doing pretty well with them. 1-2 bm no blood in 6 months and no urgency. This past couple of weeks I have started to not feel as good with a...
Hi Kim Antifungal diet? Can you provide any more details on this Thanks...
Well it legal in my state. There are 4 legal shops in my town of 2000 people. I had my medical card but am too lazy to renew it now that I can just walk a block from my work and get some tasty bud. I...
I would add canasa in the morning if you can. Great way to add some extra meds with out being to much of a bother....
http://m.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/03/science-compared-every-diet-and-the-winner-is-real-food/284595/ Well written and is probably the correct answer for most of us Deeppowder...
Im a full on outdoor bum. Ski almost everyday in the winter and run and bike in the summer. Last year I ran a 40 mile trail race. For better or worse I try to stay active even when flaring. Last...
Just wanted to start this topic because I see so many people who are worried about enemas. I was put on them last month and was worried. Conclusion after daily use. No problems. It has worked better...
Thanks pathogen that was very helpful....
Just wondering how you came up with most folks are in true remission say its because of diet. Im not saying its not true just wondering how you know. I do not think forums are really good at...
Just a question about lactose and mesalamines. I have been eating cheese and yogurt is that a problem for many. I'm on Canasa in the am and rowasa at night. Thanks...
So been sticking to my diet. Symptoms are almost gone( again seems like the med switch are working.) Only thing is I feel gassy at night and my stomach makes noise after I eat. Could be from the new...
Obviously this is sore subject for many. I'm doing the whole paleo GHD but certainly it was switching from canasa to enemas that helped then adding Canasa in the morning to get rid of almost all of...
Obviously I am very skeptical of her ways of trying to figure out what if anything im allergic too. I was really just looking for advice on a paleo style diet, partially because I know many have had...
Thanks, So confused. So I went to this nutritionist who had me lie on a table and tested various foods on my stomach while my arm was raised. I forget the name of this test. I did not realize that...
I know this has been discussed a million times but Its hard to wrap my mind around. When I asked my GI if diet mattered he basically said no. When I asked one of the nurses I was given the same line...
I just started them last week. First day or two it was weird but after that its not big deal at all. Im not fully back in remission but 90 percent after a weeks use. Good luck...
Just wondering what is Woo treatment?...
Good luck with feeling better. You should not have to live your life like this. You need to get proper medical treatment and advice. Remember it's your life and it's time to take control of it. It's...
Propofol- You can see why MJ got addicted to that stuff. Great nap did not feel a thing except for a little burning in the arm as the drug is administered. I tried to say something to the doc about...
Food really seems to be the big unknown. Im hopefully at the tail end of my worst flare(just started rowasa instead of canasa) to date and asked my GI what he thought about food. His response was...
Are there no other doctors in your area? I have to drive 2 hours to the closest GI doctor but luckily the facility is really nice. Good luck....
Very popular in my area. My buddy is starting his own company called Sol Paddle. Boards are due to arrive in a few days!...
So my long awaited appointment is tomorrow. I made the appointment in early July. I was diagnosed with minor inflammation in March and put on Canassa which seemed to work well until last month when I...
