The mailorder pharmacy won't take them back even for destruction. I appreciate the advice, though, as I hadn't considered legal risk. I just don't want to waste these things. Still,... looks like...
Hello. I have 6 unopened/untampered-with Mesalamine Rectal Suspension, USP Enema kits. Each is a 4g/60mL Unit-Dose, 7 x 60mL Unit-Dose Bottles. They are in tough silver packets inside the boxes. I...
I learned I have UC and was prescribed Asacol. Standard of care approach. During the 5mos I was on Asacol, I developed such joint pain I had trouble dressing myself and I found I was so tired I could...
Hey, Colitiscucumber2. I just want to offer encouragment. You mention you're just starting off in life and this is a life-long concern. I've been right where you are now and have lived to tell about...
I have also been drinking the Nopal (aka Prickly Pear) water for about 1 week. I add chia to mine, as was suggested in another original thread. I experienced some gas during days 3-5, but that seems...
"I have also read that fried potatoes are a great source of RS which is great because I LOVE french fries." The world is definitely a happier place because of french fries, right?! hahahaha...
Oh my! I'm so new, I had to read the entire thread to figure out what D and C are!! Hahahahaha I've also noticed chia seem to make things a bit less ookey. I found that Sams and Costco both have...
Thank you, momto2boys! Thank you, ALL, actually! So many ideas to try. I'm realizing I've gotten into a bit of a rut. Preparing the same things the same way over and over. Like I said in my opener,...

Thanks, iPoop, but I'm really asking a question about foods and gardening. Thanks for your thoughts, though. As a scientist in the pharma industry, I understand how and have run the experiment. I've...
As long as I keep drinking the turmeric tea, I've found I have a very regular bm in the morning and sometimes one in the evening. Again, as long as I keep drinking the turmeric tea, my bm's are solid...
iPoop, I've been taking asacol since early November, along with omeprizole. The asacol seemed to knock-out the bleeding I was noticing, but the diarrhea (3-4x/day) and cramping have continued,...
Thank you, imagardener2! I'm embarrassed juicing is actually something I hadn't considered. What a great idea! In the last 2mos, I have gone bonkers over ginger, turmeric and coconut water (not so...
Thanks a ton, iPoop. Right now: I've found tomatoes and eggplant really set my gut on fire. Popcorn feels like it's scraping my insides out. Carrots must be shaved and cooked, or I experience pain...
Hey, All. I'm new to UC (maybe Crohn's) as of 2014. I'm also Type 1 diabetic and a vegetarian, so finding things to eat has been a chore! Balancing carbohydrates and food items was challenging with...
Thank you, all, for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. I have, in fact, already made one decision. I've made appt with a new doctor. If I don't feel comfortable/safe asking questions of my doc, I...
