Yes this happens to me too sometimes. I think it all depends on what I eat. I notice it if I’ve eaten something like spaghetti bolognese or lasagne or something along those lines....
Hi Been a while since I last posted. My proctitis is sadly becoming a bit more stubborn to treat and after taking a course of antibiotics I have started to flare. IBD nurse has prescribed me the...
Hi. Any idea of how I should start tapering in to a maintenance dose of salofalk suppositories. I am symptom free now so would like to lower the dosage. As a treatment I was taking 500mg twice a day....
So I've just been doing a bit of digging. Have any of you ever heard of allergic proctitis? Do you think this could be a possibility? It is so frustrating as I have to wait months for a consultant...
I'm sorry but should I be thinking that I possibly have crohns?...
It's was also distal but no redness...
Okay so from my colonoscopy report they noted that I had inflammation up to 5-10cm in the rectum with a few small ulcers....
Is it possible it could be microscopic?!...
I have to say that you "ipoop" have an outstanding amount of knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time in explaining in depth the outcome of this for me and more importantly in a language I...
Okay so I have my results here. Biopsies from sigmoid are normal...yayy! Rectum: The architecture is disturbed with crypt branching, crypt shortening and crypt dropout. The lamina porpoise contains...
Thank you. Maybe the doctor said it didn't extend to the sigmoid...I hope! Don't you hate it when you get off the phone and you still have a million questions....
So I just got off the phone to my GP who has received my biopsy results back from the hospital. It has confirmed I have IBD but DR was unable to tell me what type as she didn't completely understand...
Hi It may seem like a silly question but hopefully someone can shed some light on it for me. I am currently taking 1g salofalk suppositorie at night before bed as directed by dr. My question is...I...
I started getting symptoms 18 months ago when I was 3 months pregnant of blood and mucus also had an annoying noisy rectum which felt like it was filling up with fluid. After having baby and symptoms...
My friends dad has had colitis since he was in his teens but by the sounds of it he handles it very well. DBwithUC as much as I would like to still think that there is hope that it is something other...
Have they tested you for celiac? I know it can cause mucus, fatigue and other bowel problems. But if you have been constipated that is more than likely the reason for a bit of excess mucus....
Thanks Ipoop. It's unfortunate but understandable why people with a milder form of the desease will come and then quickly go, especially during the diagnosis stage as its not a quick process. I'm...
So no one on here only has UP? I only ever seem to read the worst cases on line yet the statistics state otherwise. I just hate the uncertainty of this thing....
Thanks so much for this...obviously it is just what I wanted to hear. With regards to my first lot of biopsies, several were taken throughout my colon and all came back normal even where inflammation...
Hi So I am newly diagnosed. Had my first c scope back in April which showed 15cm of inflammation but biopsies came back normal. Had my second scope done 2 weeks ago which showed inflammation of...
Hi So I find this all very interesting and it is raising a few questions myself as I am waiting for an official diagnosis. First set of biopsies came back normal from colonoscopy which showed 15cm of...
Hi. So I will be doing my first half Marathon in march and have been trying to decide what charity to try and raise some money for and then it suddenly dawned on me...why not do it for something...
1g a day of salofalk suppositories for 6 weeks and then 1.5g Pentasa thereafter. To be honest I would be happy to just take suppositories on a lower dose as a maintenance as there are less side...
Yes I had a colonoscopy back in April and that confirmed I had proctitis of 15cm however the biopsies came back normal. I should hopefully get the results back in two weeks. When I had my colonoscopy...
Hi So I had my sigmoidoscopy yesterday which confirmed I have mild-moderate proctitis of 5-10cm. The dr has diagnosed me with UC. Can he do this before confirmation of biopsie results? Also on the...
They have given me mesalazine suppositories for the next 6 weeks to get me in remission...they worked wonders last time. But I then have to take Pentasa orally as a maintenance. So all round not a...
And I'm done. Wasn't as bad as the colonoscopy and I didn't have a sedative 😁 Good news...inflammation has regressed to 5-10cm in the rectum where as before it was 15cm. Inflammation looks mild to...
Thank you all. I may opt for a sedative then as I am currently flaring. Dr wouldn't give me meds as they want to see it in full flare mode. Have a nurse on standby with my mesalamine suppositories....
Hi guys...me again. Gosh, I am really getting full use out of this site!! Any way I have a sigmoidoscopy tomorrow afternoon and was wondering what everyone's experience had been? I had a colonoscopy...
I appreciate your answers and the obvious conclusion would be that it is red. The only reason I asked was because this is a new symptom for me and with it being quite watery and therefore quite...
Hi. This may sound like a really stupid question but I have had a guts full today and have just started getting diarrhoea. Up until now my only symptoms have been mucus and a bit of blood when...
Thank you for your replies. Obviously starting smoking is something that I want to avoid. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Thankfully my symptoms aren't that bad (touch wood). This was all really...
Hi So been doing a fair amount of research as I am trying to get my head round this bloody horrible disease. I'm still waiting for an official diagnosis other than I have proctitis but it is more...
Thank you for your replies. Obviously the finding of uc is my biggest concern but I have been having symptoms for 18 months now so any diagnosis will give some form of relief. I just pray that it...
Thanks for your reply. Yes I had a few biopsies taken and the came back negative for uc or crohns which is why I am so confused. Will be having more biopsies taken next week so we will see. I just...
Hi Hope I don't ramble on too much but here goes. In June last year when I was 3 months pregnant I began noticing symptoms with of increased mucus and a little blood sometimes without a bowel...
Yes they only gave me mesalamine 2 a day for 6 weeks. They said it would treat inflammation caused by an infection or the start of what could be ibd. I am with a new dr now and having another scope...
I was just wondering if you ever managed to get the proctitis under control and if you were ever given an official diagnosis?...
Hi. I discovered your feeds after days and days of searching for someone who has symptoms like mine and no diagnosis so thought I would drop you a message. Like you I have mild proctitis which was...
