The doctor i went to is at rush hospital, Dr. Swanson. He's a bit on the young side, but i got his full attention and had no wait time what so ever. I was stunned that this occurred, as every other...
I think the Vitamin D might have been an overkill, so I stopped the L Glutamine and Krill Oil and Vitamin D and Metamusil. Has anyone had fiber cause symptoms? The Pred immediately started working...
OK so I went to another doctor and I was so shocked. I actually spent an hour with him and an hour with a nutritionist without them trying to rush me. They did put me on lialda 4.8 mg a day and...
Might consider changing diet to Paleo or SCD. For me the Paleo diet immediately took away the symptoms and I'm considering not taking my asacol HD at all considering that I got rid of the symptoms...
What sucks is that doctors fail to acknowledge anything that isn't prescribed by them, or considering IBD on a case by case basis instead of just prescribing the same meds and then stronger if they...
I was completely stunned that the doctor basically ignored me when from first diagnosis to only 3 weeks later. When i came in for the first time, i had BM 7-10 times a day and bloody and diarrhea...
So what kind of doctor should i be looking to see to get a prescription for VSL#3 DS? This stuff cannot possibly hurt ( at least in my opinion). So is Asacol HD just a low level inflamation reducer?...

Got my official paperwork and results. UC both left and right side. Biopsies showed it could be UC or CD but when they sent my blood to a special lab in California they ran markers and determined...
Just started to get muscle spasms in my left knee only when I'm either sitting around or laying in bed. Nothing that is keeping me up at night, but my approach is to fix something when it's a small...
I added Chia seeds several months before getting diagnosed, and had them in my oatmeal breakfast every day for about 4-5 months before being diagnosed with UC. I haven't had them since because I'm...
So from Thanksgiving when it started I would get diarrhea and bleeding, and would only get this BM for pretty much most of December because I didn't know how I could affect it. Since pretty much...
I developed my UC right after thanksgiving this year. Immediately I went to my primary, and then made an appointment to get IG. Scope and blood work looks mostly like UC but didn't do upper scope, so...
I also was diagnosed recently, and basically my approach has been a paleo diet, with kefir ( lactobactilli (sp?)). Find foods that irritate you, you will know pretty soon, and avoid them. Lots of...
