Thanks guys. Your knowledge and options definitely appreciated. But dam, guess it means I need to do those dam enemas....
Does the suppository work as well as the enema's? I find the suppository a lot easier....
Hi Quick question. While tapering off prednisone I've developed perioral dermatitis. Reading some old posts this has happened to others. GP has given metronidazole gel, which has helped a bit. But...
So I've only been at this a couple of years, so feel free to correct me 😀 If it looks like you've poured food colouring into the toilet, and maybe a few tissuey looking clots, (this is me everyday)...
Oh wouldn't it be nice.... If there was food we could all agree on. 'Guaranteed' food. I do agree on the soup. Is it because it's so well cooked that it's super easy to digest? I haven't been able to...
ThanKs...
Has anyone done this? I believe they're testing for the IgG antibody, rather than the IgE antibody often looked for in common allergy testing. Is it worth while? Helpful? Or just hole to put my...
Thanks. Interesting read....
Here's a long shot guess..... As Quincy says ETOH is a relaxant. Could the pain be caused by tight muscles? If your going to the bathroom a lot you can unknowingly hold your Pelvic muscles super...
Song lady, so at the 3 month later scope, there was no more evidence of serrated polyps? Had they removed that one at prior scope?...
Thanks. Ok that makes a lot more sense to me. That it's a flat polyp, and on the side, so it's about appearance, not just number of polyps like I had previously thought. And now that you mention it,...
How common is this in UC? My brother also with UC was diagnosed with this after his last scope after having >30 polpos removed. I had a scope yestersday, and half way through scope the Reg (who I...
I've never been put to sleep for a scope. Lay there watching the screen, watching what was going on, alert and aware enough to ask questions throughout. (I did repeat my questions though.) I think...
You didn't have any low iron issues while pregnant? Because could have low iron still,could be cause of tiredness etc. Suggest asking for full iron panel though, cause ferritin can be high or read in...
Have you thought about input from a women's health physiotherapist? (PT if American). You'll have to do some research and find a good one. But they can help with pelvic pain, nerve pain, scarring,...
Glad to hear this has worked so well for you. Can I ask where you got the idea of shredded frozen lemon? (Have heard of the coconut oil before)....
Hey upanxiety. I've only been in this UC game for a couple of years. But I'd be agreeing with ipoop, that the risk of a colonoscopy causing a flare being low. More of just being a hassle to go...
Thanks imagardener2, I will do some reading. Quincy. Yes I totally self diagnosed (the proximal constipation). Have had it before, previously diagnosed by a abdo X-ray. So it is just my guess....
Thanks. It does sound counterintuitive, fibre pills and low fibre diet. Sweet, I've organised to borrow a juicer. I don't understand the difference I seed vs husks? And when which one would be...
Hi. I'm new here. Wondered if anyone can give me some advice /ideas? Have left sided colitis, diagnosed 2 years ago. I am having issues with proximal constipation, which I think is then in turn...
