I didn't increase Imodium. We just stopped on the road as we needed to. The trip was to see our sons, grandson and daughter in laws. Both boys are in the military. One in Florida and one in Georgia....
Well, he saw his GI MD on Thursday. Update as promised. No med changes except that since he's concern that the Imuran isn't giving Bob the relief or results he was hoping for by now, he's added a...
He's been on the increased dose for 5 weeks now. I know that because I just picked up his second refill from the pharmacy. And redid his pill box after the phone call, and have to fill the box today...
Sorry, let me clarify. His GI called. Instructed him to increase his Imuran to 5 daily which he did. Continues with same symptoms. BM frequency 6+ daily, at the very least. And I know there's blood....

Thank you, I will go with him to the GI. Husband, we've been married almost 38 years. Actually, we got engaged on this day, 38 years ago. 😊 And I will be ready with lots of questions, and more...
Currently the big med is the Imuran 200 mg. daily. I'll go with him to the next GI apt. And ask about a colonoscopy. I'll also ask about the biologics. I agree, being in the bathroom that often isn't...
Hi, I'm new, and here for my husband. Diagnosed with UC several years ago. He went on WW diet, eating a lot of Healthy Choice frozen meals for lunch which resulted in a 100 pound weight loss (much...
The gas is what seems to bother my husband the most now. The bleeding has finally stopped as of approx. 2 weeks ago (Started first of November). He's still up at night anywhere from 5-10 times from...
My constipation drug of choice is Correctol, or Woman's Gentle Laxative (generic name). Very easy on the system, non-cramping, and despite the name, does work for men. That is what my husband has...
I just want to tell everyone who advised me about the Benebiotics a huge "thank-you". My husband had his appt. today with his GI specialist who was very impressed with the probiotic ingredient...
The Entocort is Budesonide, a capsule, oral. Right now that is on hold while he is on the Prednisone taper. No, no sweet smell, but I'll ask tomorrow at his appt. with his GI if he can be tested for...
At his worse, he was going approx. 30-40 times a day. Since last Thursday, the change in the probiotics, adding the vitamins, not sure if this change is the result, but the gas, cramping and trips to...

Hi Phil, I posted "Any thing better than Ensure", on this forum, and your story and my husband's story are pretty similar. He also was heavy, went to WW, started at 309, goal of 200, hit his goal...
He's not taking mesalamines because he had a horrible reaction to Lialda. Arthritis-like pain body wide which resolved after a medrol dose pack and stopping the Lialda, which was unfortunate because...
I'm actually posting on behalf of my husband. And this is my first post, so if I'm doing it wrong, please forgive me, not sure how to list his meds correctly. He's probably had ulcerative colitis for...
