I've been put on a 25mg Hydrocortisone Suppository . Nearly all my symptoms now are related to my rectum and it's really bothering me. Constant pressure, frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain just from...
Last time I had my stool checked was a while ago, in the hospital, a couple times. The testing showed the C-Diff had gone away. But I'll definitely bring that up, I believe I'm having a couple...
Hi all, I've been going through this bad flare all summer that started in May after a C-Diff infection. After one course of antibiotics, a short course of Prednisone, one course of cort enemas, IV...
Hi everyone, I recently moved up to a more rural area. During my move, I contracted C-Diff. Off antibiotics. Still having urgency and cramps. However, I find this part a little more interesting. The...
Never fast during a flare. I knew someone who fasted for religious reasons who had UC. He ended up being worse off. If you don't feel hungry that's one thing. If you feel hungry and have an appetite,...
Junk food usually works out for me well. I try to stay away from grease and fast food in general, but it has never put me out of remission or worsened my symptoms. It helped me gain a lot of lost...
It worked out for me fine for the first month or two. I became neutropenic probably due to a reaction with the medicine. I've been told the Rx is often given because its cheaper than Lialda, but for...
Nothing drastic but enough for some to go anemic....
I make sure to bring the prescription with me wherever I happen to travel...

They did, it came back positive for C-Diff...
I have C-Diff right now, and I don't have a fever. Ironically, everything you said was characteristic to what I felt and had (with the exception of a small unnoticeable amount of blood)...
I had many of the same concerns as you. I didn't have diarrhea either. Think of UC as a broad spectrum of diseases, not just one disease. You will have different symptoms than someone else with the...
I've had killer nausea on Flagyl. It's been to the point where I can eat. I have vomited. ER GI prescribed 500mg 4 times a day for 14 days. Which is typically for a severe case of C-Diff. Family...
Good news. It was not a flare. Turned out to be a C-Diff infection. Thank you for the advice....
Per advice of any GI doctor, not taking meds is extremely serious and leave you worse off than before. I could understand the homeopathic approach, but with all due respect it is no common cold....
Hi everyone. I've followed this forum quite closely. I was diagnosed at 15. Going on with 9 month ago of remission. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's going all to waste. After bucket loads of...
