Best to you, Katie! :D...
Thank you Martha, I am doing well. Still have a few symptoms, just going at them a little different now.I'm getting ready to go out of town to visit my son and his family! Very excited! Hope everyone...
Seems like if it isn't a flare, it will be....
Just a note to say "Hi", I still check in to see how everyone is doing. /community/emoticons/cool.gif ...

Thank you....
I'm going to try Metamucil instead of the med they can prescribe. He was fine with me trying metamucile and probiotics. I'm going to do Greek yogurt for now. I will google the Carafate, check that...
My diagnosis, say that 5 times real fast! I don't know how to pronounce it to say correctly 1 time! It means I had my gallbladder removed and bile is hanging out in my colon. While the info is not...
Sounds fun! Kids growing up is exciting! It gets better and better! :)...
I am so, so sorry....
I am truly blessed, and very grateful but, my son has Crohn's and I would keep this in a heartbeat if he could be rid of it!...
Thanks everyone, it is awesome! I think I'm still in shock!...
They are still loose, not diahrrea. I have started taking Metamucil. He said that was a good idea and may help with the bile/loose stool. I can let him know if I want the med for the bile, but I...
I hope he continues getting better. Those prep and scopes can be really rough, I hope that's all that it was....
That's too bad, doesn't sound nice at all. How is he doing today?...
I drink 1 bottle of coconut water every day. It helps keep my electrolytes up, much like Gatorade. That's what I drank the day of my prep, 1 bottle, along with everything else. I do horrible with...
My GI says there is no sign or indication of ulcerative colitis! We talked about bile in my colon from no gallbladder. It isn't causing me problems. If it does, pain and diahrrea, I can call him and...
After my first scope I was really sick and hurting, it ended up being my gallbladder. I had a lot of pain under my ribs and around my back. As far as abdominal pain, I was experiencing that anyway,...
My experience has been similar this may or may not help you. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with UC after a colonoscopy. Last month, I had a GI do another scope and my colon is clear, no signs of any...
I am doing very well. I started taking Metamucil, with some help from others here. Salad is out for now. I had a nice leafy veggie something and a Naked brand smoothie that I didn't realize had soy...
http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=3046056 If you want to read it. Only you know if it's a good idea right now or not....
When I think about everything you went thru while in the hospital before they started helping you, I would guess you need a lot more time to recover. Have you went back and read that thread? It might...
Thank you. I knew this had been discussed, I tried searching it and couldn't find what I was looking for. I started selecting following the threads on probiotics and fibre supplements for easier...
Yes, you are! /community/emoticons/cool.gif ...
Thank you very much for the info! I will stay at 2 a day for now, I see my GI next week. I will wait til after I talk to him to change things. Thanks again! :)...
Yes, there is a LOT to be said for hot farts! I have not dared eat a bean in over 2 years! /community/emoticons/smhair.gif ...
Oh, those blasted doritos and other bags of chips too! :)...
I appreciate this post and all of the comments. I'm working on fiber (metamucil) right now, probiotics is next. Thanks for the input....
I don't know what choice we have other than to stay awake during the procedure. Scopes and surgeries I have had, everyone seemed very professional while I was awake. There is no way of knowing what...
I would say the firmness was about the same, seeing the grainy look of the metamucil itself in the poo and in the water was different. There was a lot there-a productive poop! and I feel really good...
If I'm having horrible symptoms, I eat applesauce and white toast. That's about it. It seems like it is a work in progress, finding out what I can eat and what I can't. Some things make sense to me...
Okay, I don't know what I should expect my BM to be like after taking metamucil. I took 2 capsules yesterday, which doesn't seem like much since 1 serving is 6 capsules, and you can take up to 3...
There you go Sunny, a vibrating pill to instruct the dancing! :D I'm sorry you're struggling with all of this....
Oooooooo family ... My parents are my worst stress! I had 6 months therapy to learn how to not guilt myself. It can be done. Last fall before my folks left for the winter (praise the Lord!) my mother...
My first doc told me he was afraid to tell his kids what he did at work!...
I did the mesalamine enemas and it really wasn't that bad. When I first started, I was doing 2 a day. The morning one, I would get up after the 20-30 minutes they recommended and I had no problems...
My GI asked me to be off meds for 2 full weeks. My symptoms started returning at 1 1/2 weeks....
Here is my experience: A little over 2 years ago I had a colonoscopy. I had been on a huge amount of prescription ibuprofen for years. My doctor said my colon looked horrible with raw looking spots....
Yeah, I was thinking she wasn't doing great, just couldn't remember for sure. Maybe she will be back on and see she has been talked about! :D...
I'm thinking she was on here earlier today, talking about hiding out?...
Well, I find this funny! Whatever it takes to do what they've got to do! My doc said they like to make sure you are passing gas before they let you leave after the scope, but in my case I was good to...
My first thought was a flu bug. I've had that happen after surgeries where I had anesthesia. But with this disease, sometimes you never know for sure!...
To talk to me about this significant amount of bile staining and adhering to my colon wall. He said it may be a lot of my symptoms, cramping diahrrea, mucus. I had my gallbladder removed and he said...
I have not dared to eat popcorn since diagnosed over two years ago and I miss it so much! I usually do really well. I have a hard time with waiting; waiting to see the doc to find out what is next. I...
I knew that with the strawberries, but thank you for telling me.I kind of hit this WTH attitude last weekend. I have gotten tired of this! I thought I had it figured out and BAM! And I know how...
my UC diet has been no raw veggies, no dairy, no wheat/grain, glutten doesn't seem to bother me. Eat bananas, applesauce or apples w/o peel, potatoes w/o peel. I do okay with beef but we buy a cow...
Thank you Sherry, that's what I'm looking for. Can you eat salad? I can usually eat romain lettuce. Last Saturday, I ate a salad of "spring mix". There was a little bit of everything I haven't dared...
Quincy, LOL! With the new twist to this, my son can be a real arsehole, never bit his nails, and has Crohn's !!! HA...
I will get more info from my GI next week. My symptoms are similar to mild UC. I still have the "bile staining and adhering to my colon wall" so that may be more what is bothering me instead of the...
