Thanks for the post, I'll have to read the link later. Maybe something to bounce of the new doc I have to get soon....
I was priced $850 for a month supply a year after ACA. I now buy the generic from Canada and it has drastically dropped my cost down....
I'm doing the same as Nana 2, but I'm using generic only. I personally didn't have any issues switching to the generics, and my wallet seems happier....
Paul A. Sievert http://hscj.ufl.edu/directory/bio/1241/paul-sievert/ I had him for ~3 years and then moved. Whenever I brought up anything alternative he listened and would spend time looking up any...
Jacksonville Florida? I had a doctor there that I liked who was easy going....
For me, that's typically the beginning of a flare if it has been going on for days/weeks. Some I've stopped from getting worse, others took me along for the flare ride. You might be able to change up...
If you're not having bad symptoms, I don't see anything wrong with a cheat day. Just make sure those cheat days don't turn into weeks and then months (if your diet is working)....
FYI, I've been using https://www.canadadrugsonline.com. It's about 10 business days to get the prescriptions but they'll say longer. I've been getting 400 generic pills for ~$325 but I don't see that...
Lay in the bath on your back with your legs elevated/resting on the side of the bath. Warm to luke warm water and some Epsom Salt (I stole whatever my wife had). Try and do it a couple times a day....
I used only oral Lialda and SCD (with yougurt) to get out of a flare. This certainly didn't happen over night, and I'd say roughly 3 months before I felt normal. I was extremely strict during this...
SCD pulled me out of two flares (once you feel normal, you typical start to eat like crap again and start the cycle). I'll add that I only took lialda the second time and no other drugs (did enemas...
Glad to see it's working for you. Hopefully others that can't do other "natural" diets/approaches might see this and try it....
I can see it now, someone in their mad laboratory refilling the enemas!...
From my experience, each flare is unique. Some are "easy" and others bring their friends to the party....
They should have a recycle sign on them....
I hope everything turns out well!...
Thanks for the post. SCD helped me as well, and when I cheat I suffer too. Usually, that's after cheating for more than one day in a week......
It said there are over 93,000 signs needed still...[/quote] I think I'm losing it... I blame el nino. Maybe instagram a twitter and post it on fb?...
Not many more sigs needed....
I would try and find a compatible vitamin and probiotic. I don't think it would be the end of the world to use what you have, but it's not SCD legal. The po po might come after you! FYI, I had great...
For some reason I don't have exactly what I ate, I think I would of gone mad sitting in front of the computer.... I know the carrots and honey tripped me up at the beginning. I felt more normal once...
My personal experience, yes the SCD diet is worth it. Is it easy? No. Is it easy dealing with this disease? No. If you decide to do the diet, will you cheat? More than likely. Will you make a...
No Cav, my levels were 14 I think? It was over 4 years ago, and that GI put me on 5000 IU/day. That same doctor mentioned a study about increasing your "sun time" wouldn't help with your vitamin D...
I'm tickled pink every time someone comes on here and says they're cured/in remission. Even during the worst of my flares it's still gratifying. I wouldn't be where I'm at if it wasn't for people...
Have you asked your doctor Cavalier9? I casually brought up being tired to one of my GI doctors and he immediately did a vitamin D test. Edit...a minute too late....
FYI, VSL#3 isn't SCD legal. I use GI ProsStart and actually got better results with it than VSL #3 (other variables could account to that too). I mix it with whole milk, but might try some goat milk...
Go to the 23andme website. Click on your name on the top right and click on "browse raw data". Then click on "download" on the upper right corner.[/quote] Thanks AXYooper. I'll now have to check out...
Where is the raw data? I listen to my DNA melody and it didn't help my search....
I usually only do the e-cig for roughly a month and then I quit. It definitely prolonged my last "remission" when enemas weren't enough. I'm sure kids help out on the stress level. ;)...
Being that we're all bonded here by our disease at the core, I think we can all understand/relate to the ups and downs we face in life. I think the people who post here should be quite humble in that...
When I can fart and not have a parade in my pants... that's a party! Fart away!...
First flare started after taking ibuprofen for a week. I had antibiotics while I was younger, but I don't think it was beyond the "average" amount. Currently, I'm leaning towards a combination of...
Hope it all goes well....
I hope not, I was sending mine out today....
I'm about 2 months into it and I've noticed a huge difference. I haven't introduced all the food yet, since a few seem to still give me discomfort. It's a hard diet, and easy to cheat/make mistakes....
Wedgie challenge? Get some granny panties, a bully, and go to town? Honestly though, I don't think "our" disease will ever be popular enough. Everyone usually thinks it's just some shitting disease....
Making yogurt is extremely easy, I would highly advise it. The worst part is boiling the milk. Anyways, I've been using GI ProStart with stellar results. Quite tart/sour when plain....
Maybe afraid someone might post the results on facebook? I'm soooo gonna LIKE it!...
Thanks for the post....
The joy of living with this disease and others that the general public will never be blessed with (a good thing). Keep your chin up mate....
I'm sitting on azathioprine and a few packets of uceris. Went to give them to the doc when I was in Florida and he said don't worry about it.......
Been "lurking" and I hope things are getting better....
I used an e-cig for 6 weeks, and enemas for 1 month for remission (I couldn't do it with enemas alone). Dropped e-cig after getting into remission. I had no withdrawals. I can provide more detail if...
Pop a squat and shoot it out!...
Thoughts are with you mate....
Thanks mate....
