Well that's very interesting. I have switched to coconut milk for my morning gluten free cereal (making sure it has no carrageenan). I'm going to experiment with a tablespoon of the oil and see where...
I should add that I also take a Zyrtec antihistamine pill once a day....
I have been taking a number of medications (see sig) and modifying my diet in what seems to be a weekly ritual (for which I get no sympathy from those around me haha) I know myself to be lactose...
I too have been on a very long flare since diagnosis. Began taking Remicade and I'm up to my 3rd infusion. My stools have gone from bloody liquid diarrhea (sorry graphic) with extreme urgency several...
Bananagirl: I just started having incredibly high urgency and frequency with lots of blood (sorry, graphic I know). It feels like an infection and I am on remicade which seems to be doing more harm...
GloGirl: No problem! Excellent questions....
I've been taking Remicade (at what I suspect is the regular dose) for 2 infusions so far. I seem to have a positive enough reaction (decreased BM frequency and less blood) but have not had anything...
Isn't Vicodin potentially constipating? Would be the only "benefit" other than pain management it could provide. Is it masking your symptoms or actually helping?...
KH: What painkillers did you start taking? Tylenol? Also, how often? Once a day? Are you on any medications...
Hi ki-wi! May I ask what other medications besides Remicade you are on right now? I am also on Remicade (second infusion so far) and fear that it isn't working as well for me as it should....

I'm so sorry to hear about your cdiff infection. I'm hoping you can avoid hospitalization. I too am suffering from bloody D while on a biological and have been wondering if its cdiff infection. So...
Good luck on the Lialda! For me it sadly did not do much for but I may have developed an intolerance to it....
Thanks again for all the replies. My third infusion is in four weeks so I'm hoping to see good results by then. The last gap between first and second infusions had the UC symptoms get about as bad as...
It wasnt suggested by my GI....
Thank you for the extremely helpful reply iPoop. I ran out of Lialda coincidentally with BV's suggestion to take my self off it 2 days ago and my last BM was the firmest I've had in... Forever! I...
May I ask you how Florastor gave you trouble kind Sir since I am also not finding it useful at a dosage of two a day?...
Hello everyone. Thank you for taking the time to look at my post. Long time lurker but decided to finally seek your expertise since I am basically at a loss as far as what to do. I was diagnosed with...
