I don't recall seeing many on here taking Apriso but they have the generic for cheap. I would consider switching off generic lialda if my insurance wasn't good....
I would keep notes. These things aren't always clear cut and a few days is not enough time to make a determination but keeping detailed notes will help you make future decisions....

I don't claim to know a lot about it but the main application for Dupont/3M was Teflon prior to that particular chemical being banned....
Food for thought. Environmental factors have been linked to Ulcerative Colitis. In the last few years I have stumbled across a few studies linking PFAs and UC. All started out on a Netflix special...
I've suffered from some digestive issues for several years including ulcerative colitis and a hiatal hernia. The hernia only really caused me some minor reflux in years past. Recently, I've had...
Thinking of trying CBD for sleep and anxiety. Anyone had good luck? What did you take it to treat? I figure the anti inflammatory properties can be a bonus for UC....
My skin turned yellow...
It causes diarrhea as your body adjusts. It is safe for UC and helps greatly with my nerve pain. I had to settle on 30mg because 60mg gave me restless legs. Give it time if you don't like it...
This popped up in my Facebook feed. They are recruiting. https://www.eco-resetstudy.com/#!/ ...
Just got my second dose of Moderna. It was almost universal among my peers that we all got aches and chills (flu like) the day after along with the sore arm. Nothing more though....
Psyllium seed powder is proven effective at maintaining remission in UC. Don't quote me, but I believe it is effective on it's own (comparable to oral mesalamine) but taking it along with mesalamine...
Do you live in the Ohio River Valley area?...
Thought I should update that I've experienced frequent headaches on and off for the past 5 days or so. Had the Moderna shot 12 days ago. Likely related to sinus issues but just thought it was worth...
I am in a workplace where 150 people received the Moderna vaccine 10 days ago. I experienced a sore arm at the injection site the next day. I took a long nap the day of the vaccine as well. To my...
I think if your symptoms aren't progressing and you aren't in pain then you probably don't have to do much about it. Depends on your comfort level. The first neurologist told me that "there is no...
I can't say whether it has progressed over time because of ebbs and flows. My neurologist said that further testing would not yield any results and I believe him. Even if they did all that would mean...
Hi Jane. I have suffered from odd neurological symptoms since I developed, and began taking medication for UC. I can say with relative certainty that my mesalamine medications make these symptoms...
The way I see it you have four options. You can wait it out on your current regimen, travel out of state for a scope and a shot at a biologic, take prednisone, or perhaps take a shot at some...

Just to hand-wave all documentaries on Netflix as not trustworthy is not the way to go. Here is the study on residents of the Ohio River Valley where Dupont dumped water runoff from production of...
Anyone seen this documentary? In the largest study ever on a polutant in a human population, C8, a chemical used by Dupont in teflon, was proven to increase incidence of Ulcerative Colitis (among...
Sarah the IBD-AID diet is a slightly more liberal version of SCD. It allows occasional sweet potato, oatmeal (any time), and tamari (soy sauce) in addition to other SCD foods....
Very interesting. Now I want to research this more....
I lost a ton on it as well and looked sickly. Sweet potatoes and oatmeal should be fine to add in as they were added into IBD-AID diet. Check your calorie intake using MyFitnessPal app. It's not...
I agree with others that some form of elimination diet may be worth a try. If you have failed all therapies and still have severe UC your next option is surgery to remove the colon. Before doing...
Buy Paleo cookbooks. Most recipes will be SCD compliant. Good luck....
I have had urinary problems here and there all through my late 30s. My urologist is terrible and just offered flomax after a 15 second discussion. You should develop a relationship with a good...

I have no input other than sharing my dentist suggested peroxyl mouthwash for a bad (likely UC caused) canker sore years ago and it sped healing. It provides mild pain relief as well....
Hey Impala. We spoke a while back and had similar symptoms. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my neurologist but I don't buy it. I've found three things in my own experience that effect my nerve...
Do not eat anything after 5pm. Elevate the head of your bed 7 inches. I take famotadine 40mg before bed and Omeprazole 10 mg in the morning. Both are available over the counter. I find eating or...
They need to have something to incise so waiting is likely the best approach. I had one years ago and it developed over the course of about 5 days. I would just set up an arrangement with the surgeon...
Seems prone to bias. For example, if a prominent physician suggests mesalamine may be a risk factor, other doctors will be more likely to confirm that hypothesis....
I believe the data collected for this site is self reported by doctors (who are aware the site exists). It is not randomized in any way that I can tell from quickly reading. A doctor is not going to...
Delta I have taken Diflucan on two occasions but the infection just returns once finished. My GP doesn't approve of me taking it... not sure exactly why. Second time it caused upset stomach so I will...
Wow what a crazy illness this is. I now see why you think a trip to the dermatologist is pointless especially with the connection to bms but perhaps it's worth a telemedicine conference. It's...
Sorry for your difficult situation. If you trust your doctor I would follow their advice here. Realize you can reduce your chances of contracting COVID greatly by taking precautions like aggressively...

Here's the study. It's smaller than my memory led me to believe but hey, it's something. For Crohn's, not UC. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2877178/...
Any personal interaction risks spreading the virus to yourself or others. That being said, if it is essential that you volunteer for others to eat, then the risk is probably worth it. If you are just...
I think a plant based diet is a great idea, especially one based on whole (unprocessed) foods. There was a Japanese study with Crohns where PBD was used to maintain remission with near perfect...
Are you using a mouth rinse? Peroxyl or orajel can speed healing....
I am currently on the front lines as a first responder. Everyone is scared. I feel like every shift takes months off of my life due to stress but this is what I signed up for. I don't believe you...
