By now they have almost certainly checked for c.diff, I hope, and FT has a pretty low success rate with UC;about 10% short term, less long term according to the papers I've read. I'd be willing to...
My story seems similar to yours. Down to just Entyvio (no pred, no azo, still many bm / day but life is livable). But here is one difference... My doc has OK'ed me to take Imodium occasionally. I...
Everyone seems to have trouble identifying the specific problem foods. Burli's responses are closest to mine but to be honest, I have no idea, after many years of this, what foods cause problems....
Thanks very much. I'll try the short & many approach again with a longer shake for setup & ask my doc & his nurse (pharmacist isn't familiar w/ it) about it next week. Oddly I looked for other...
Please blksteeda (& other Entyvio takers) let us know how it goes. I'm on Entyvio about 11 weeks now and things are definitely better. Down to maybe 10-20 bathroom trips a day (that sounds like a lot...
I've been prescribed Cortifoam a few of times and I'm unable to get the foam to expand. I shake the canister, attach the applicator upright and expanded per directions and squeeze for a second or...

I just started Remi 2 weeks ago at 10 & the 2nd infusion is today so I'm not sure if it is effective or not yet. The whole flare cycle has been going on about a year now though. Let's hope the Remi...
garylouisville - I do take probiotics on occasion and eat 'good' yogurt every day, but I haven't been able to make any corralation between probiotics and symptom changes. I'm not really knowledgeable...
I hope this doesn't confuse the issue but I’ve finally learned that the answer is just to do what is in your best interest at the moment and forget about it. I was diagnosed with UC in my late...
Thanks so much. The idea of making the vehicle itself part of the solution is brilliant! As is the advice for wet wipes for general cleanup. Just the type of info I'm looking for!...
I'm wondering what people do to prepare for accidents. I’m a 54-year-old man with UC (pancolitis) that isn’t responding to treatments, the worst part being proctitis, and there are days when I have...
