I was diagnosed with Pan Colitis, but noted to have more severe inflamation on the Right Side which was described as being very "loopy, and tortuous". So, why the Pan Colitis diagnosis? I generally...
The combination meds to treat the H Pylori are pretty strong. They gave me a terrible burning feel and a metal taste in my mouth. Luckily all these feelings went off as soon as the meds finished....
Thanks Gary, I will split the dose and see.. Regards...
Good news for you. You seem to have found a good combination. Stick with it!! I was on Pentasa last year, and they switched me to Mezavant (same as Lialda) as it is an easy once a day dose. Since...
I've been taking WOO 60% Carvacrol Capsules for the last few weeks. Initially I was feeling better. Less gas and nice calm BM's. However, lately I have noticed a burning sensation throughout my body...
@protocolteck The Solgar softgel is 60% Carvacrol, so I will finish this and then try to get the Telia. Do you see taking WOO as a long term suplement to maintain remission? I hear it can be quite...
Does anyone know if you can get the Telia WOO in the UK? I tried to order via Amazon but cannot select UK as a shipping destination. I am taking Solgar WOO soft gel capsules. I think they are...
Pred didn't do much to help me either. My Doc put me on 40mg 6 week taper. I was OK before, and the 40mg Pred made no noticeable difference. Tapering off it, I became more tired and my skin and nails...
Agree 100% JC. I too am bored by comments about my weight....
I don't think I do any better Gluten Free. I think I do better "Junk Food" free (i.e. no pre-packed preservative filled breads, donuts, chips, cakes, and biscuits etc..). I take fresh rice bran bread...
I'm a 40 year old Male, 5ft 10 tall. I have lost 22lb since diagnosis last year. I went from a fit and healthy 141 to a skinny and sickly 119 now. (64kg to 54kg). My symptoms are better, but I have...
I follow it. It is fairly easy and common sense. Don't mix up food groups (animal protein and carbs).. Eat more fruits and veggy's. Cut back on processed foods and refined carbs (white flour and...
Good luck Gary. Tell us how you get on with Lialda? How many mg are you taking? After my review with my GI in June, I am doing worse. He put me on 40mg of Pred and changed me from Pentassa to...
MensaMan : Is the CCHerbal remedy an ongoing treatment, or do you take it for a short period of time? I'm not sure if the contents were the same, Indigo naturalis, Skullcap root and Costus root, but...
What parasites? and what was the test? I have the same weight loss problem and have recently had a Colonoscopy done. The Dr said I had plain pan colitis.....
I want to try this Oregano Oil as a natural anti-biotic. What is the recommended dose? Can I still use Pro Biotics? Of all the things I have tried, it was only the hardcore Anti Biotics used to treat...
Hi, I recently started Mezavant (the same as Lialda I believe), and have just come off Prednisone. I would say give it time to settle down. Coming off Pred made my system go "haywire" for 10 days....
Hi, I use Benebiotics now known as Nexabiotics. http://nexabiotic.com/order-now/ These are supposed to be specially formulated for Cdiff....
Sorry for digging this old question out. I too, have been on a 6 week course of Pred, and finished it last Monday, only to Flare on Tuesday.. I am slowly getting better. So, does the Pred mess up the...
So, how do I know if I have a genuine intolerance to the Mezavant? Or, should I just tough it out while my body gets used to the new drug, and coming of the Pred? I will certainly ask about switching...
How do I know if I am flaring again, or if I have an intolerance to my new mesalamine (Mezavant 2.4g per day)? I was doing great on Pentassa, then my new GI want to do a fresh Colonoscopy on me. He...
I think I might also be having issues with Mezavant? I was taking Salofalk and then Pentassa 2g per day with no problems. I then went to see my new GI who wanted to do a fresh Colonoscopy on me which...
Has anyone got any suggestions for healthy natural sources of Vitamin B.?...
Thanks for sharing your experience.. I can relate to what you are saying, particularly about eating a variety of foods in moderation.. I was told Papaya and Cashew nuts were both good anti...
Good luck... I would make the same decision in your shoes.....
Good news.. and good encouragement to those of us facing problems. It seems to me surgery is the best option to return to a normal life, rather than fighting on with meds and all the problems they...
You can see it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-qsLKbTHE It featured a girl with Chrohns and suggested diet changes to a liquid only diet initially, followed by a "low flex" diet would...
Hi all Does anyone know the difference between Mezavant XL and Pentassa? I was on 4 x 500 mg of Pentassa per day. 2 tabs in the morning 1 hour before breakfast and 2 tabs at night 1 hour before...
I think the same for me too. It started for me when I was bullied and stressed at work. I think I flare also because of stress. Im not sure what part diet plays though.. I try and avoid Gluten,...
Thank you. I am waiting for a follow up with the doc....
Hi all, I have reached a conclusion to my question. I am not intolerant of Psyllium Husk. I have been having a flare these last 2 weeks or so, probably brought on by work stress. It is very...
Great to hear it worked out well.. I too follow the same advice, and if I am well, I am fine.. Last year I tried running during a bad flare, and the 10km almost killed me. If you are weak from D, I...
Thank you all. I am taking the Natural Psyllium Husk Powder. I take 2 teaspoons mid morning mixed with water, and 2 tea spoons at night before sleeping.. I will stop for a week or so and see what...
Hi all, Has anyone had an intolerance to Psyllium Husk? I have been doing very well for the last month, and put this down to Psyllium Husk which I started taking at the end of Feb. All of a sudden,...
I think it is a "mixed up" diet that causes the problems. I believe eating a simple diet with regular fresh food and lots of Veggy will help. Mixed up foods, with different meats, eggs, carbos,...
Derby County and Benji.. I'm also doing well on Psyllium Husk. I take 2 teaspoons in the morning before breakfast and 2 teaspoons at night time before bed. I've been taking it 2 weeks now and have...
It is a crazy, unique to everyone condition. I had the best, most perfect BM today after eating fried banana, fried rice and a cooky biscuit yesterday. All foods I would normally steer well clear of....
I am quite paranoid about eating risky foods. Just today I was given Glutinous Rice to eat and later in the day Sugar Cane to drink. Both things I would not take. It is very awkward in social...
I just commented on another thread about a similar subject. I have just started taking Natural Psyllium Husk (1tbs / day), and I noticed immediate improvements to my UC (less gas and semi formed BM...
Interesting article. I have the same conflicts over whether these foods are SCD legal. I have started taking Psyllium Husk, and so far it seems to be working well. (Less Gas / semi formed stool once...
I take the pure coconut oil by the spoon. It tastes nice and is a good source of fat if you are underweight. I have not come across Coconut capsules though. I also take Turmeric Capsules (400mg/...
Thanks all for the responses. I definately feel better for taking it, so will continue. I experienced less gas and a more solid (but fluffy!) BM. It is the natural Psyllium Husk I am taking. I add 1...
Hi I have just started taking 1tbs a day of Psyllium Husk mixed with water.. I have read mixed reviews, so I seek your opinion.? Is 1tbs a reasonable dose per day? I read that Psyllium Husk is "shown...
Thanks all for the advice.. I cannot get VSL 3 here in Malaysia, but I am returning to the UK in April, so will buy there. I will also get a follow up appointment with the Gastro Specialist there and...
Hi Minners, thanks for reply. I would doubt it is the PRED as I finished with this in September after a very short course.. Could I be intolerant of the Salofalk 5ASA all of a sudden, or need an...
Hi, I am new here, and diagnosed with UC in Malaysia in August 2012. My doc put me on a short course of PRED 20mg tapered down over 1 month+ Salofalk 5ASA 500mg x 6 a day. He also prescribed...
