You sound similar to me although I've had UC for 4 years and have been going through mild to moderate flares the whole time until recently. I take omega 3, Lialda 4.8, and culturelle probiotics. I've...
I usually hear back from the NP the same day if I call before noon and always within 24 hours. My GI doc is very popular....so very busy. The doc is very thorough and informative during an office...
I drink my coffee in the morning knowing it's going to get things moving within a half hour. I limit myself to one cup.....but as long as I have a half hour to let the "magic" happen it seems to make...
Bacon girl. I've been taking fish oil and low dose aspirin for a long time. My identical twin had a heart attack so the doc thought it would be a good idea. Lately I've seen studies that show that...
Fish oil is also a blood thinner from what I understand bacon girl. I take a little fish oil and a low dose aspirin already so I think I'm going to leave the curcumin alone for now....
I had to stop all my meds, including lialda, for 3 days (a couple months back) when I had food poisoning. Wasn't a big deal. Hope you feel better soon....
Nice to know. I bought some curcumin about a week ago. I've been hesitant to take it since I'm on a low dose aspirin regimen. Appreciate the heads-up!...
Totally agree with imagardner2. I had my first day of "normal" last week. After four years of terrible UC it's now been a full week of "pre-UC like normal". I know it probably won't last long but I...
My whole family had food poisoning a couple months ago (we think from some greens we ate). It didn't help my UC that's for sure. The vegan protein sounds good but I can't imagine salmonella on top of...
I had my first UC related colonoscopy about 4 years ago. My GI doc at the time said I had severe pancolitis and sent me home with a low dose of meds. Two days later I was in the hospital. Every doc...
Awesome! So glad you're feeling better and moving forward to even better times. It's really nice to see the progression you've made and hope you come back to give us more updates....
Thanks old mike! After checking it out I ordered some. I also like the fact it doesn't have pepper since that could conflict with a couple of my meds....
I don't mean to hijack the thread but I've been interested in trying curcumin. Just wondering if anyone had a recommendation on a specific brand that works well for them. I hate to blindly grab...
OK your causing me to write my first post..... Cardio and dumbbell training work for me. I wish I could lift heavy but my little heart tweeks and bad back limit what I can do. Unfortunately I can...
