I've done some research but haven't been able to find enough information that I feel comfortable with. I am 34 weeks pregnant and in a flare. Worse symptom like always is bleeding. It has been a heck...
Has anybody given birth naturally while in a mild flare? What was your experience like?...
Does anybody here consume beet kvass? Has/does anybody consume/d beet kvass while flaring? is it safe to consume while in a flare? furthermore, is it safe to consume while pregnant and in the middle...
jax81, I'm curious how you are doing now? I am now 20 weeks pregnant but still flaring :( My worst symptom is and always has been bleeding. I feel like it's just been getting worse and Im starting to...
Thanks for your responses ladies. I should mention though that I am currently on meds. Before I found out I was pregnant, I started a small flare so immediately, I went back on the salofalk...
I just found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant and have just turned 8 weeks. I also have mild crohns, and was in the middle of trying to get through a flare when I for my positive pregnancy...
I was seen today about some weird uncommon infection in my nose (may be cellulitis), and apparently the doctor that I saw has only seen 3 cases in her years of doctoring.. so I was prescribed Keflex....
bananagirl, curious to know what kind of bones? from what animal? ...
Guardian7; did drinking bone broth help with your UC? ...
Old Mike. When I don't have any caribou bones or other animal bones to simmer, I take powdered gelatine as well. :) ...
btw I need to change my signature above and delete the salofalk. I am no longer on it....
imagardender2, I am a far north native :) There have been and still are many misconceptions about our diet up here, but that is because of the modern diet.. the traditional diet my ancestors (and...
Some of you may remember seeing my posts before about taking certain supplements/apple cider vinegar etc.. Many times I posted saying I was feeling better each time, especially after starting on the...
Some of you might remember I had posted about how I had recently had a colonscopy (in December), and the results showed a bit of a patchy area, so I was given an undetermined diagnosis of either UC...
thanks Katie. Ive only started experiencing this over the last year. Luckily my UC, since starting off as UP has been pretty mild for the most part since my initial diagnosis, so all of these new...
Does yours happen when you eat something bad, and does it come with feeling a bit of nausea? I don't generally experience much diarrhea with my UC to be honest, but when I do eat something bad, I...
broke, exhausted, constant homework, child born with health problems, undetermined whether I have UC or Crohne's… feeling so overwhelmed, I want to scream at the top of my lungs and just let it all...
Twiggs, just checking in to see how you're doing??...
I love coconut water! Ive had to test out several different brands to find one I like, and have to agree with a few others that vita coco is… blech… my absolutely favourite is an organic one, brand...
Thanks Liz. I try not to get too down on myself about this condition, but every so often, during a moment of weakness, I "feel sorry for myself". I agree anything mild is better than moderate or...
Hi garylousville, Im still doing relatively well. Im not watching what Im eating as much as I should be, but still almost zero symptoms, just a bit of bleeding when I do my "once a day" bm. The...
so… yeah… "whatever" is how I feel about my health now....
Great news Twiggs! Please keep us updated, Im curious to know how you will do after starting on the ACV. Pathogen, just curious, what is doxy?...
Interesting Twiggs. PLease keep me posted as to how you're doing with this regime of yours. I too think I have a lot of candida, but have yet to be tested for it. Im not sure if this would be related...
Interesting twiggs, do you happen to know what plant 5asa's might be derived from?...
Those of you trying this out, keep us posted. Im doing very well with this, and I must say, it has to be the "best" "supplement" Ive started since diagnosis. Ive never felt better (since diagnosis I...
e-dawn, I take a capful twice a day in about 4-6 oz of water. Not that great of a taste, but I don't find it to be strong at all, once it goes down, the taste is gone as well, so it's not like...
Just thought I'd give you all a quick update. I haven't kept track of days, but seeing as I started this thread on January 26, it's been about 3-ish weeks since I started taking this in water...
We have a bunch of "gluten-free" breads here at one of our local stores, but when I look at the ingredients, I can't help but think there's no way I should even be thinking about ingesting at least...
Mlena89, Ive been on only salofalk suppositories right from my initial diagnosis about 5 years ago. I did try corti-foam (a type of steroid medication I believe), but it made my bleeding SO MUCH...
What do you like about it, if not that it helps UC? I'm not at all blaming anyone here, but it's frustrating that one day someone's saying you need to consume an alkaline diet to help with UC, and...
Thanks guy, well, Im on day 4 with no meds whatsoever, and while I really only have 1 bm per day, it usually comes with quite a bit of B an some mucus. Today, I haven't seen mucus in several days,...
That's the brand Ive been taking. Have you noticed any changes with your UC symptoms with it?...
So.. about a week ago, I was experiencing my usual B and M symptoms of the proctitis that I have. I ended up preeeety sick with a bad head cold/sore throat and I had read before that apple cider...
Im convinced my colitis was brought by the overuse of antibiotics. Not once ever have I ever been told that I should go on probiotics while, and/or just after taking antibiotics. When I was pregnant...
Happy to hear you're doing well! What is your diet like post surgery? I ve read some articles etc. about how we still need to watch our diets (not that I plan on going back to eating the junk I did...
Sorry to hear you regret this. Can you explain more about why you regret it so much? Im just trying to get a better idea of what other's experience afterwards since I guess there is no turning back...
Ive been in a flare for 2 years, although relatively mild, its mainly the bleeding that I can't gain control of. I had a colonscopy about 3 weeks ago and it showed mild inflammation with no...
Ive been thinking a lot lately about this and have thought about the J Pouch surgery. While my colitis is nowhere near as bad as others Ive read (mine is very mild, just a lot of bleeding…) I don't...
Well I decided to stop the tablets. I have had enough bad reactions to certain medications (corti-foam made my bleeding SO much worse and have not been able to fully get rid of the bleeding 100%...
Momto2boys, what kind of issues were u having? Sorry Im just trying to get as much info as I can from people who had reactions to it, but stuck with it so that it'll help me better decide if its...
@ Canada Mark- when you first started the WOO/Reuteri combo, was there a lot of blood/mucus? This is what I had alooooooot of and it scared me so I stopped it right away, but Im so desperate to have...
I'm on saloalk tablets, but it seems to be making the bleeding worse. I did try a couple of months ago (before I went on meds) taking WOO and primadolphilus reuteri, but man did that combination have...
I was on salofalk suppositories (mesalamine) for a few months and one day I woke up with the tops of my feet VERY VERY itchy, when I looked at them, I saw two rashes (the one on the right foot was...
oh, and I also add some homemade kefir as well....
I do well with berries, so I make smoothies a couple of times day. I make mine with strawberries/abit of blueberries, some water, coconut milk (full fat is better), some raw/unpasteurized honey and...
Just wondering, Ive always reacted just fine to salofalk suppositories, but recently was switched to salofalk tablets because my proctitis slowly began developing into mild colitis. Ive never...
While I haven't looked muc into this, I just happened to be reading this as I came across your post. Im all about going the natural route as much as I can, and I just started the mesalimine tablets...
btw I know we're all different in how we react to different meds, but I noticed in your signature that you're on the corti-foam? How are you doing with it? I attempted it, but it made my bleeding...
From what Ive read, some nuts are ok as long as they're raw and soaked. Since making almond milk requires the almonds to be soaked anyway, that gets rid of the phytic acid. I make my own and its...
