Thank you for replying! I won't give up on it quite yet. When I saw my GI doctor on Friday, she reached in there LOL and I remember it felt uncomfortable and painful. I'm wondering if maybe her...
Been on Uceris for about 3 weeks now. Things were going great! Had my check in appointment with my GI doctor on Friday and she said it sounded like I was finally healing. No more cramping, diarrhea,...

Hi everyone! Been in an active flare since early January. This seems to be taking forever to get resolved. So after about 3-4 weeks of Cort enemas, my doctor said I was not improving fast enough. I...
Thank you everyone so much for your advice and encouragement! I was nervous to start this just because my doctor referred to it as a "stronger medication" which just sounded scary (there is a bit of...
Hi everybody, I'm feeling very disappointed today. Been actively flaring since January, I had one week in March where I thought I was in remission...NOPE! So I've been on the cortenemas and the...

I have a feeling I might be on them for a little while longer now. I'm on about day 18 of using them, with some significant improvement but still not 100%. Seeing the blood is so crushing for me....
I just started Nopal water this morning! My boyfriend lives near a mexican grocery store and they had the cactus pads so I made my cocktail last night! I used three leaves (a little larger than the...
Thanks for all your advice! How would you go about doing Rowasa in the morning? Sherbear, do you wake up extra early and lay for an hour with it? I have to go to work somewhat early in the morning...
I wonder if this would work too, in case you don't want to drink anything:...
This'll be the last convo I start for a little while, I swear! I'm just new here and excited to get feedback/ideas about things I've been wondering. So two weeks ago I started on the Cortenema...
I saw everyone posting about Nopal and was so eager to try it, so I bought this juice....
Hello everyone, I wanted to share what happened to me and see if anyone has any thoughts regarding it. My whole life, I NEVER had a stomach bug. I was one of the lucky few, I never had days of...
