maybe you could just try to answer the OP's question - otherwise, shut it - you wanna judge somebody, get a tv show -[/quote] You shouldn't tell people to shut up. What happened to this forum? I...
What a weird interpretation of his post. He's just trying to gauge his disease severity vs. other people. I don't see any bragging going on. We all, at some point, explain our disease severity and...
Why would you seriously say that to anybody, let alone someone on this forum who is going through the same illness you are??!! In what universe do you think that is supposed to be helpful, try and...
You know what's going to eventually happen right? You're going to get a preforation and die of sepsis, or get colon cancer and possibly die. There is absolutely nothing wrong with surgery. Or...
I don't understand. If your flares are that severe why haven't you had your colon removed yet? I've had 2 severe pancolitis flares and had to have my colon removed. Why do you still have yours? I'd...
I wonder what you would be like on prednisone. Or immunosuppressive drugs. Or facing the prospect of surgery. Or having surgery. Or having an ileosotomy. Or many of the side effects from the dozen or...
Well with someone who has anxiety about cancer like you even if you had mild ibd you'd still likely be on meds that can cause cancer. I'm sure that would eat you up inside. Why don't you just tell...
Tell me anything you like. I don't mind. Is there anything else you'd like to say? I'm sorry that I've clearly offended some IBD sufferers by speaking out about my personal experience in the hope of...
All this worry about colon cancer and you weren't concerned at all about inflammatory bowel disease? Which can be as serious as cancer. No doctor had mentioned inflammatory bowel disease to me in...

Maybe I'll just try more cipro. I had a bad night where I woke 3 times to go. Something isn't quite right. I love bananas too...
Yes very much. I was no longer having the urgency. The urgency right now isn't so bad so that's why I think it's not pouchitis...
I'll see what my surgeon says about c diff and strictures and stuff. I had a scope a few months a go and it was OK just a bit of inflammation. I took cipro for my pouchitis...
I am like 8 months post take down. Yeah I had Pouchitis a few times already and this doesn't feel like pouchitis.altho I do find some drops of blood sometimes. The loperamide used to stuff me up and...
I'm very down at the moment. I'm sick and tired of this cycle. I take 6 loperamide every day and that won't even slow down the diarrhea cycle I'm stuck in. I go to the bathroom like 2 hours after I...
Worry wort, if your anxiety was as bad as you said it was, how could you go from 2009 to 2017 without knowing why you were bleeding from your butt given your fears of colorectal cancer? My anxiety...
I had ileus right away after both of my jpouch surgeries. The first time I needed an ngtube I had it for 7 days. The 2nd time for 3. The ngtube looks worse than it really is. It's just uncomfortable...
She needs to be hospitalized but a hospital will rarely do that. It has to be from the direction of her GI. She will feel much better with IV steroids. It'll be okay, just make it to Monday....
I was on pred for years and years. It never made me lash out at people. I think when people who are really angry inside it can bring that out....
Yes prednisone and Flagyl will do that. Also the red was likely the Gatorade. Stay away from any red dye in drinks and in food. If it was blood you will still see it in the toilet and then you can...
I don't get why you can't develop crohns. I never had UC until I had UC....
Since you've had UC for more than 10 years you're supposed to have a col4onoscopy every 1 to 2 years to check for colon cancer....
I am 8 months with my jpouch and things haven't been that smooth but it's really good to know that people are having a very good transition with their pouch....
What about Microscopic Colitis? I don't think that generally has blood....
I was diagnosed with poctitis for the first few years but my last 3 flares were pancolitis and they were long and messy and I suffered a lot. I eventually went through all of my options, and I...
Be sure to take calcium supplements to counteract the prednisone. And don't go on it for every flare if you can help it. It gave me osteoporosis. That med is dangerous if you use it too much....
Pancolitis is an easy diagnosis to make. I'm afraid you have UC. Sorry man. The cruel truth is many of us were fairly healthy before the onset of symptoms. That's life. Although it seems like many...
You're taking the normal amount of tablets for Asacol. Asacol tabs can contribute to the diarrhea as well. When my flares were bad they were no good as I couldn't process them either. Since your...
I have UC so I see a lot of blood in flares and it almost always turned the toilet water red. I don't think you have anything to worry about here. Sounds like it was from your tomato. The toilet...
If you're at the point of contemplating smoking cigarettes and screwing your health up even more why not just have your colon removed?...
I've fluctuated a lot in weight. As far as 150 pounds down to 105 at my worst. I was literally just skin and bones and it hurt to sit on my bony butt. My GI said I looked like I was going to die...
So, as many of us know, the mental aspect of eating affects most of us to varying degrees. We lose lots of weight. Gain lots of weight. Go up and down. Become afraid of eating because it hurts some...
