I eat the normal 3 times per day. Breakfast is usually always pretty light. I dont notice any distinct causes for why my gut decides to screw me over other than more times than not if i eat dairy or...
there is really no telling. I have been in remission, or so it seems, for almost two months. Yesterday i went out at work and got some chicken wings, some were hot and proceeded to have slightly...
thanks for posting this. When I was first diagnosed last year I was reading about how bad the stuff was in lab animals and was one of the first ingredients in food I looked for and cut out of my...
I on the other hand find this research extremely encouraging. Not to tout my background in any way, but I work in the biopharma industry and help develop therapies (not for IBD unfortunately in this...
Lately, I have been having the weirdest trends with my bowel movements. I usually never have urgency or straight Diarrhea, but lately I will go a few days with absolutely no symptoms, then I will go...
Has this been an ongoing issue? I am assuming the topic is colorectal cancer? But if they found nothing, hopefully you are alright for now. If they are finding some cancerous cells in there then best...
My DR. prescribes me canasa in 30-day supplies so im not sure why yours only did 10? Seems like not enough time for the meds to work effectively. I take Canasa ongoing now every 3-4 nights. I think I...
My symptoms were not as urgent as yours when first diagnosed, doctor used a camera in office to look in my rear end but the camera only goes up a couple inches. He saw inflammation there and put me...
I always find success with the enemas. I notice too as I am coming out of this flare, my symptoms are going from every day, to roughly once every other day and getting farther in between.. I have...
Here are a few things from me: * Was under a lot of stress about 3-6 months prior to symptoms.. high anxiety and some trips to the doc for it (just graduated college, was living alone, stress from a...
If im not flaring (pretty much now) - I eat whatever I want. I have been staying away from whole grains lately.. i think they give me a little more problems (Fiber). White breads and sourdoughs do...
great news! I have been reading a good bit into Pfizers research. Interestingly enough, I work in the pharma industry as an engineer and work right down the road from Pfizer at a different company in...
hmm, it is a little hard to tell. I do not know how much acid reflux is associated with UC. Maybe it is a little more related to Crohns? I am not too sure. I would just keep your doctor up to date...
Being on SCD diet or AIP paleo diet (what I did) is so terribly difficult to do if you are traveling or away from home often. It requires a hefty amount of cooking and that can be terribly annoying....
I have UC but would also like to add my $0.02 about diet. My GI refuses to accept that diet has anything to do with IBD. He is a traditional type doctor and only goes by the books. If there is no...
has anyone in here tried Proctocort or Uceris Rectal meds. My doctor has mentioned to me trying Uceris but I just looked into Proctocort as well. If my diet doesn't help straighten me out with Canasa...
You have every right to feel worried up front, but the truth is what most of these awesome other folks are saying.. Most UC cases are well managed after finding the right treatment. Some people here...
I feel the same here. tons of people want to disregard diet because it didnt work for them or they didnt give it a hard enough effort. What I do know for certain no matter what anyone says is this...
Im on the same meds as you except Apriso instead of Lialda, canasa 1x per night before bed... I am in the same boat. My bowels will form and begin to look good but then they wont and it goes back and...
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear its working for you for now...
fantastic comment, friend. I feel this hit the statistics fairly well and is more realistic. I have come here as a mild mannered UC'er looking for some other opinions of people like me. I think it...
"This is an observational reality response. Not a good start for you to want positive (what the hell does that mean anyway?) with your opening sentence. Get real...you're starting off perfectly....
Hey everyone, I usually see a lot of negativity in here and reddit and just want to open this post for some positive enforcements... If you have been in remission for a good length of time, lets hear...
I just sent my GI DR and nurse an email regarding this. told him I want to try it, has he heard of it, and I would feel safer if he wrote a prescription instead of going through this process online...
