Yes. I talked to a nurse at the surgical hospital today and she said I could skip the antibiotic today since the prep would take it right out. I'll find out through the scope if was really...
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I am worried because I am coming off a symptom diagnosed diverticulitis attack. I seem to be having bizarre side effects from the augmentin or flagyl...
A little over a week ago I had my biannual colonoscopy. The results were what I suspected - minor flare of proctitis. Felt good on Tuesday with just a little rectal pain. Begin getting lower...
Yes, I've been using the heat pad and it seems to help. Also the tylenol PM helped me sleep better last night. Thanks again for the advice....
Thanks for the advice. I have had a diagnosis of diverticular disease a few colonoscopies prior but he didn't say anything this time. I even asked my husband since I don't always remember everything...
Had colonoscopy on Monday that showed only slight inflammation of the rectum. Felt good on Tuesday, but starting cramping on Wednesday. Cramps were so bad on Friday that I went to my gp. He ordered a...
I'm doing my prep today for a colonoscopy tomorrow and already feel a little nauseous due to a minor flare. Does anyone have any ideas I can try to get through this day? I do have a history of...
I've had a boil in about the same place you're describing and it went away after one drainage. I also took an antibiotic but can't remember which one. By the way I have UC too....
For the past three weeks I have been having lower abdomen pain and sometimes a feeling of tightness around my belly button. No blood or mucous. One or two bowel movements a day which sometimes seem...
I know. Everytime my 20 year old son has diarhhea I worry. He has never been sick a day in his life and I worry about how he would deal with this aggravation. It's hard to enjoy life sometimes when...
I'm about to call my GI's office to schedule my biannual colonoscopy and was wondering if there are any new preps that have been tried in the last two years. My last prep was the one with ducolax and...
Quincy, I don't have my lab results yet but will get them next week at my GP appointment. AZY I did have H.Pylori years ago for which I did the triple antibiotic treatment. Right after that it was...
Pluot, I haven't had any diarrhea or bleeding. Just the upper abdominal pain and bloating along with a pulsating sensation near my belly button. The belly button twitching has lessened since being on...
So last week after calling my GI about upper abdominal bloating and a twitching feeling around my belly button his PA prescribed Entocourt thinking that I was flaring. I've been taking the Entocourt...
garylouiseville, I was surprised too that they didn't just up my sulfazine dose because we had done that before and it took care of the problem. I questioned the nurse but she just said that was what...
So, my GI has just prescribed that I begin taking Entocort to treat a flare that involves no diarrhea, no blood, just a lot of bloating and pain. He wants me to begin with 3 pills a day and then...
My GI's nurse called back and the GI wants me to try entocort (if I can afford it) or prednisone if I can't. I've never taken either so I'm not sure of side effects or what I should expect. I will...
I called my GI today but he is out of the office. His nurse was going to message him and said she would get back to me this afternoon (not) or tomorrow morning on what I should try. I sure hope it...
What did he tell you to do for the Gastritis? I have also been diagnosed with non ulcerous dyspepsia which I think is the same thing as gastritis. Sure would like this feeling to go away....
Does anyone have a diagnosis of UC and ulcers? For about three weeks I have been having pain around my belly button sometimes accompanied by throbbing. I do have a diagnosis of GERD and have been on...
PathogenKiller, what are DPPIV enzymes and where do you get them? I've been having lots of stomach pain with bloating. Do the enzymes help with this sort of pain? I know I am having a small flare. No...
I have been relatively lucky until this year with very mild flares. However starting in the spring of 2013 my symptoms have been changing and I'm not sure if it is the UC or something else. For...
After my colonoscopy last summer (July 2013) my GI prescribed canasa suppositories in addition to the azulfidine that I had been taking at a maintenance dosage of 2 once a day. He upped the dosage of...
I am waiting to see a gynecologist to confirm a diagnosis of having a rectocele made by my PCP. It is also time for me to schedule my biannual colonoscopy. My question is whether having a large...
