No blood, urgency, mucous or anything. My only problem is consistency! My normal non flare BM total is 0-2 each day. And they are normally formed. Ever since my last flare started (Tuesday before...
This may seem really insignificant in the grand scheme of things....but I'm on day 10 of Uceris, and I ended a 5 day prescription of Flagyl last Sunday. I was having my second flare and my doctor...
She said my inflammation was throughout my entire colon. Her reasoning was that the rowasa wouldn't reach much further up the colon and since I can retain the Canasa all night I should stay on it....
And yes I realize my signature says Jan. 2016 as my dx but the flare that led to dx started the week of Christmas....
Well, I went to my appointment. She said 2 flares since my dx in December is not what she likes or what she thinks is okay. She prescribed Uceris for 28 days and she also told me to take 12 delzicol...
My GI told me if I start experiencing flare symptoms to take an extra pill each dose. My BMs became more urgent and loose so I started taking 9 per day about a week ago....
So, yesterday I began flaring once again! 😥 I was in so much pain and I was passing only mucous stools that were blood tinged. I called my GI and he scheduled me an appointment for today & he called...
Thank you both for answering so quickly! Notsosicklygirl, if I had surgery, I don't think I would go jpouch solely for the risk of pouchitis. I think I would just have the permanent ostomy. I'm okay...
I have read many pros and cons for surgery on this site. And I know my UC isn't NEARLY as bad as most, but I'm tired of worrying. I constantly worry about when my next flare will happen. I'm scared...
Thanks for all of the helpful comments! It's obvious there's no "set expectations". I want a baby, so I will have to brave it and hope for the best! I think stress is a main trigger of mine as well....
I'm 22, and I am starting to have baby fever. Soon after my fiancé and I get married, we hope to start a family. I am terrified that my UC will hinder this. I'm also scared about a flare. Are flares...
How many of you have seen whole pills in your stool? I've been taking delzicol for a month and this is the first time it's happened. Should I be concerned?...
It's been almost 3 weeks since my last flare. The best 3 weeks of my recent life. I was hesitant about updating because I didn't want to jinx it...but here we go. I have been taking Delzicol (2 pills...
Quincy, I put my fears aside and just used one! I'm so shocked I really can't feel it at all. I thought I'd feel it up there.lol. Anyway...I help it for an hour and 30 minutes. I tried to go for 2...
I'm not expire cling tenesmus right now, but when I flare I do. I'm thinking the Delzicol may be working (cross my fingers). My Dr. Gave me some Canasa suppositories to try when I am flaring. She...
Thanks so much for the replies! I gave a GI appointment in about 3 weeks, so I'm just gonna ask him about it too. I'd rather have mushy stools than tenesmus and pain any day! I'm so hoping that the...
Today I have had 2 mushy stools that were very large. No blood or mucous. I'm currently taking Delzicol and Dicyclomine. I've only been on Delzicol for 4 days. No pain so I'm not complaining! They're...
Good morning everyone! I was wondering if people with UC will ever have "normal" stool again? Since my first flare my stool has been yellow and mushy. Is this a "norm" when you have UC?...
They are similar in color. The delzicol is just a capsule and the Lialda is more of a tablet....
This pill is a capsule...like it has a plastic coating that twists apart. I knew it was the same kind of drug but for some reason they think it will work...how effective is the remicade? I've seen...
I was wondering if anyone has tried/ has had success with Delzicol? Its apparently new, and the next best thing? I just dont want to get my hopes up and it not work well. I was taking Lialda but my...
I was seeing WHOLE PILLS in my stools. It was not fun, started UC symptoms all over again. I was switched. My doc said some peoples bodies cant break down the enteric coating. Finding out if its a...
Thank you so much songlady! That's exactly what I needed to hear. I need some kind of hope to cling on to! My doctor said we caught it before it was "full blown UC" if that's even possible. He said...
He said it was inactive only because I had been on antibiotics a few days before the colonoscopy. I guess I just have to get through this flare. It really is a distressing disease to have. I know...
**PLEASE take the time to read...someone** I was newly diagnosed with inactive colitis. The Dr. told me it was likely UC considering the inflammation was localized to the bottom portion of my colon....
