So I purchased CW CBD Oil Everyday Plus. It is formulated with 25 mg/ml concentration. How much do people normally take. It comes with the dropper. Do I use 2 drops? Or do I use the entire dropper?...
Thank you. That makes me feel better. Also, is a SED rate of 12 considered good?...
So I took the Uceris at around 930. At 10:00 I got gassy and I think whatever stool was in me came pouring out! Was that from the Uceris or did I just have to go and everything came out of me. I was...
Thank you everyone. I'm currently also doing hydrocort Enemas twice a day. Just wondering how long Uceris takes to work on the inflammation now that the bleeding is finally gone. I rest appreciate...
So I haven't taken the Tylenol 3 for the past 2 nights (yay). Also, I have not seen blood in about 5-6 days (even yayer). Still doing hydrocort Enemas in the AM and PM. However, when I have stool in...
Thank you everyone for the responses. I had a fissure so I wasn't able to use rectal meds until the end of nov. I was doing at first sup which helped a little. Then I was doing hydro cort/mesal...
So a little background. I have been flaring on and off since 2015. February to be exact. This past early Sep it got bad. I had a fissure, lots on bleeding in the bowel and was going to the bathroom a...
Not really any urgency. Sometimes I feel like I have to go but it's really only has pains or mucus. I prob visit the bathroom 5-10 times a day but only actually go 3-4 times. I think it's left side...
Currently I'm doing steroid enemas....
I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with me. In the morning I go to the bathrooms once soft but normal and for the remainder of the day I'll be going red mucus until the next morning. Also...
I am starting Entyvio on Friday. Remicade did not work for me but I'm hoping this does. How long does it take to know if it's working or for it to start working? Also I'm going in Friday for my first...
Has anyone used this before? I tried Remicade and it definitely did not help. I was wondering people's thoughts and opinions because it is new. Also, I was able to drink on the weekends with Lialda...
So I have had 5 remicade infusions so far. 3 Initial and 2 following. The last 2 I did after 8 weeks and then I went back after 4 weeks. The last 2 doses were also 10mg. I am also currently tapering...
VSL3 DS did nothing for me or my flare and I was taking 4 packets a day! Just recently switched to Florester. I don't know if that's helping or if probiotics really do much but I am happy with it so...
You should switch to cortenemas. The mesal enemas never worked for me either and actually made things a lot worse! Cortenemas also tend to wrk very fast! Just be consistent!...
I don't have any problems with it. I get the air out first and then insert....
Right now I'm still at 30 and don't go down for a few days. I'm going to use the cort enema tonight instead of the suppository to see if that helps. Otherwise I don't taper down for another 3 days...
So now I'm REALLY confused. Last Tuesday (March 1st) I had 10mg of remicade, have been decreasing a prednisone taper (currently at 30mg), no blood and very little mucus (for about a week). All of a...
Cortisone suppository. I was using the enemas but I think that might be a bad idea if it is the lower area and it is a fissure or hemmi....
Like after I go to the bathroom and mucus comes out (mostly bloody) my rectum area feels like there's pressure and doesn't feel like it did before I went....
So my current symptoms are: Bloody Mucus and my butt feels "funky" in the lower area after I go to the bathroom. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, any idea of what it could possibly be!?...
I'm currently on prednisone and just had my remicade infusion. I've never experienced brain fog. I just get hungry and sometimes get a puffy face....
How long after the infusion did you notice improvement when he upped your dosage? I just went for my 4th infusion yesterday. She upped it from the 5mg to 10mg for the first time....
I actually just went for my 4th infusion today. In the beginning (1st infusion) it worked very fast. After my 3rd infusion it slowed down a lot. My doctor changed up the amount I was getting and the...
What probiotics have you taken and how much? How did they work for you? Were they effective?...
I hope that I'm healing! Do you think that the cortenemas will get rid of the mucus? I've used mesal enemas in the past and they have done nothing....
Thank you. My GI is aware of everything going on. I go in for my next remicade infusion early March. I've been using the hydrocortisone enemas for the past month. I'm still waiting for the results!...
No blood/mucus in the morning. Normal formed skinny stool. Bloody mucus at night. No stool....
What's worse and what's the difference between bloody stool and bloody mucus?...
Thank you for the response. Where you doing rectal therapy at the time? And if so, how many times a day? AM/PM or just PM?...
Thank you for the response. What do you mean by narrow stool means remaining inflammation? I don't think that I have heard that term before. Also, it seems the remicade works as my symptoms decrease...
Any takers for what's going on or if anyone has experienced this? Thinking about not doing enema tonight and see what happens when I wake up....
I've had no side effects with Lialda and I have been on it for years....
So I have been flaring on and off but mostly on since Nov 2014. I've been on Prednisome, Lialda and started Remicade. I have also been doing cortisone enemas at night. I would not say that I am going...
I will show improvements right after for the first 3 days and then it'll kind of go back to how it was. I'm not bleeding very much at all and only going 2-3 times a day so it's not awful to begin...
Mi have had many flares. The pack worked for me the first time but it never did again after that. To quick of a taper....
So I have been doing the cortenemas at night and the cort suppository during the day. When I wake up I always go to the bathroom and everything is formed. Very little blood if any but only streaked...
I'm talking about doing cortisone ennama and cortisone suppository at night....
Has anyone ever used the cortisone enemas and suppositories at the same time? Also, is it a good idea or bad idea to do that?...
Its not the clear stuff cause I do see that. I'm guessing it's stool but has hints of red in it....
What is cdiff? I always see it talked about on here....
Take Tylenol 3. It worked wonders for me! Normally if I have to be up at 7, I take it at 8 the night before. Sometimes I took it later. Never had any side effects. Just don't plan on driving after...
What is cdiff? Also, don't forget as you get older your symptoms can change. I know that when I was in college and first diagnosed I had way fewer flares and they got under control much easier. Also,...
So I was wondering how long steroid suppositories normally take to work? I noticed streaking on the outside of my stool and a little mixed within the stool. I also know that everyone's body responds...
Thank you for the responses. I started doing rectal steroid suppositories. How long do those normally take to work? I noticed that when I go to the bathroom (12 hours later) the first thing that...
So.... I was having a bad flare this past Nov/Dec. I had a fissure which prevented me from continuing rectal meds and cause me to flare up. I was put on prednisone on 40mg and reduced it 5mg every 5...
Update: it's almost 2 weeks since I got my first infusion. I'm also tapering off prednisone however, I don't think the prednisone was working because I started at 40 tapered 5mg every 5 days. When I...
I hated rowasa enemas. It made things worse for me and never made me feel better. The only enemas that worked for me was the cort enemas and they worked almost instant....
