Thank y'all so much for your advice and sharing your experiences. Dr put me back on Uceris til I can see him next week (he's out of town due to holidays). I'm also hoping to talk to OB and GI dr...
Dr also put me on Lialda. 2.4 grams a day. Not making a difference 😔...
Hi all. I've written quite a lot recently as I am 13 weeks pregnant and started flaring terribly around week 6 of my pregnancy. I was only on Rowasa enemas when we found out I was expecting. We were...
Toomuch- where do you get those vitamins? And do you take them morning or night?...
I'm taking Diceglis for morning sickness. It's pretty much all day sickness for me. It does help take the edge off but I'm still losing weight between that and the flare. Congrats on your pregnancy!...
Dr called out Uceris and Lialda to take daily. Do you think I'll have luck with these 2? I can't keep missing work but between the flare and morning sickness I have nothing left to help me function!...
Hi all. I am 27 years old and have had active colitis basically since being diagnosed in January. My husband and I learned we were expecting about 6 weeks ago. I am currently 10 weeks and baby is...
Hey I wanted to give a little update. I was able to hold off on hospital but did get in to see GI dr a couple days later. We ended up doing a flex sig (unsedated bc of the pregnancy- not fun) and...
3 weeks ago we found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I were not trying and are nervous but excited. I'm 6.5 weeks along now and recently started having morning sickness. However it has turned i to...
I have a question. When I saw my GI recently, I was having a bit of tenderness when sitting and slightly uncomfortable BMs but no severe pain. I've had blood in my stool for almost a year now. GI dr...
I take only 4 Apriso a day. I think I'm flaring too but no test to confirm it. I feel a tiny bit better than when initially diagnosed! Thanks so much for your response....
Hi there. I've been a member for around 6 months now and been a UCer since January. I'm completely desperate and need advice or many just encouragement. I was diagnosed in January after severe D had...
Thank y'all so much for your replies! I'm hoping the new dr will help nail this down. As I'm getting extremely tired of being in "limbo". I've tried a few diet changes and nothing seems to help. It...
Hey all! I have a few quick questions. I see a new GI dr on Wednesday. My 3rd in a year. I recently was given a clear bill of health by my last GI from a capsule endoscopy and colonoscopy but I'm...
Thank you JaSanne! I hope I can get some answers too. My husband and I would like to have a baby soon but I want to make sure things are okay and I'm in remission and healthy before. I just wish I...
Hello there! I have been out through the ringer over the past year with a dx of UC. Most recent colonoscopy was clear, however I'm still having almost constant constipation. And if it's not...
I've had multiple stool samples done and no infection, etc. I'm definitely confused! I started doing gluten and dairy free just in the last few days to see if that helps. I'm not sure how long it'll...
I was diagnosed with UC the beginning of the year and was still not feeling great after a prednisone taper so dr did colonoscopy before wanting to start remicade infusions. Colonoscopy came back good...
A little update... I got results from my CT yesterday and dr saw some inflammation in my small intestine near the jejunum. Waiting to see if insurance will approve an upper scope since I've never had...
I can ask about the patchy areas. I'm curious to know if they were continuous areas of inflammation or patchy. I have been waiting for treatment to work for almost a year now so I'm getting pretty...
I started off with a different GI dr. Who was terribly rude and hard to talk to. New GI hadn't done a colonoscopy until a couple weeks ago. We were going to start Remicade infusions but he wanted to...
They did say that I had proctitis, an area of inflammation near my cecum and another in between but I'm not sure where exactly....
I'm so confused! I was diagnosed with UC in January after biopsies from a colonoscopy came back positive. I have been in a flare for almost a year now. Dr did another colonoscopy and biopsies came...
Also, can they test for lactose intolerance? I haven't been able to tell much from my diet what foods bother me and what doesn't....
Thank you so much for all of your replies! I've been out of town but I'm heading home in the morning. Pb4- I have a CT enterography scheduled for Monday morning. I'm hoping to get some answers after...
Does anyone have issues with constipation with their UC? I am almost always constipated but on the days I'm not I have D about 20 times! Just curious if anyone else is like this and what you do to...
Thank you so much for your reply. I'm so ready to get some answers. I was not happy when my treatment was going to have to be infusions but I was glad I was finally going to get better but now...
I was diagnosed with UC earlier this year but recently had a colonoscopy that showed I am in "remission" however I'm still having the same symptoms as before and dr said he wants to do a CT...
Thank you so much for your responses Heather. Hopefully they will call when the pathology comes back. And if there is nothing to show we can take the next step of the CT enterography....
I've been on the Prilosec and zofran from the beginning. I was having heartburn that would only come up with severe constipation and constant nausea was my very first symptom that came up and it's...
Same dr did colonoscopy and gave results. Pathology isn't back yet. Pictures looked great from what I could tell. I don't want something to be wrong I just think there already is! I just need answers...
Okay, in October of 2014 I started having severe diarrhea and constipation, night sweats and blood and mucus in my stools. Finally in January I had my first colonoscopy and was officially diagnosed...
I take Apriso as well. I'm horribly nauseated today and idk if it is just random or if it is related to pred. I dealt with nausea a lot when I was first symptomatic and diagnosed. I have zofran for...
Hello all. I started on a prednisone taper a couple months ago at 40 mg for UC and have been decreasing my dose by 5 mg a week. I am currently on 10 mg and Monday I go down to 5. I have been both...
Thank y'all so much. I'm currently on 35 of pred and I go down by 5 mg every week. Monday I'll go down to 30 mg. I also take an align antibiotic, 25 mg Zoloft, 1.5 grams Apriso, and 40 mg of...
Hey there! I have a question. I've been on a prednisone taper for a couple of weeks and at first I had very bad side effects but last week was great. I've been taking all of my medicine at 6 am....
Chanterelle, I am not on rectal meds now. Only 4 Apriso 0.375 tabs daily plus the pred and probiotic. I really hope after this taper I will be symptom free! I already feel much better. Just trying to...
Hi there! I just joined this forum tonight so I'll give you a little back story and then rant/vent/ask my question. I started having symptoms in October 2014. Severe constipation then diarrhea and...
