Thanks for the reply. She told me a couple of weeks ago, but I can’t remember which enzymes. I asked her if they were very high and she said high but not very high. It was a very quick conversation...
Additionally, I do not ever drink any alcohol and my doctor told me my blood work was ok in November. Just kinda has me stumped and feeling like crap. I know I can get a bit of health anxiety so I’m...
Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forum. Long story short, started inflectra infusions in November 2019 and I’d never felt better. I was back to my old self with basically no...
Hi everyone, I haven't checked into the forum in some time because for the most part my UC has been in remission, which is good news. I had a few flares last year that took me months to recover from....
Hi everyone Just wanted to check in and talk about my colonoscopy that I went for on Wednesday last week as well as something I didn't expect. Long story short, I've been dealing with occasional...
So I called my GI's office this morning to ask about the scheduling for my MRI....They said it's scheduled for JUNE!! I can't believe that. I'm not waiting till June, so I called the office back and...
So today, I worried myself to the point of feeling sick. I’m reading about elevated liver enzymes and psc and I feel absolutely terrible. Many people with elevated liver enzymes say they come down...
Thanks for all of your replys. The smoothie is not too much volume. I keep fruit cut up on he fridge and put one or two pieces of each kind in. It is on the cold side because of the frozen...
Hi everyone, Just wanted to check in and talk about the last few months. I've been doing mostly well with my UC and I have an appointment with my GI on Wednesday. I've been taking my Asacol and my...
Thank for posting that info DB. I agree with you completely. It's not that UC will be cured once the pathogen is gone, it's that it acted as a trigger or "landslide" as you call it, and you can't get...
I was diagnosed with UC in 2011 and I remember having an iron gut before diagnosis, nothing really bothered me. Then one day at the office they ordered pizza from a place that didn’t have the best...
This happens to me every few months too when I sleep in a funny position. It usually helps quite a bit to use a "magic bag" or rice bag that is heated up in the microwave. Just make sure it's not too...
Hi everyone. I wanted to check in with the online community to let everyone know that my fribroscan came back completely normal yesterday. A big relief for me to say the least. I'll go for bloodwork...
I do not have a copy of the results but I wall ask for them tomorrow. She was quite vague in her letter to me, but said “a little bit high” I feel fine and I’ve read that Kombucha can cause elevated...
Hi everyone, I wanted to check with the online community to ask about elevated liver enzymes. I went for routine bloodwork on October 31st and my doctor notified me that one of my liver enzymes is “a...
The one positive thing, for me and I think many of us, is that we take a more conscious and healthy approach to the food that we eat (or at least we should). I have always eaten home-cooked meals....
Well, after continued discomfort and loose stools in the morning with slight redish colour, and after speaking to my GI's office this morning, it looks as though I will be continuing with 30mg of...
Thanks for your reply ipoop. I kind of felt that too, but I just didn't want for this to get out of control. I still have a few enemas left from before but I'm slightly afraid to use them because of...
Hi everyone, I just got back from a month in Europe. Did a week in Barcelona, week in Florence, one in Sicily and one in London. It really was a great experience with my wife. Around April I had a...
Hi everyone. I wanted to report that I still haven't heard from the GI's office on the biopsies, but I am feeling much better today. I think the pain and discomfort I was feeling was due to the...
I'm not sure if she took biopsies or not, but I called and asked. This flare has been weird, by far the mildest I've had since diagnosis in 2010 yet for the 2 or 3 others I've had since then they...
I wanted to start by thanking everyone for their support and for answering my questions over the last few months. I really appreciate it. So I had my colonoscopy yesterday first thing in the morning....
Thank you for your responses. I'm certainly going to give the elimination diet a try. I just know my body and I went for over 2 years without a flare eating almost everything that comes up as...
Hi everyone, I've been a bit more active on here lately because I've been tring to get back to complete remission from my minor flare that occured almost three months ago. Long story short, I feel...
I am experiencing the exact same thing. About two months ago I had a mild flare and was able to get back to almost 100 percent. I'm only experiencing some very minor left side discomfort, usually...
Thank you for your replies ipoop. When the doctor checked my bloodwork for heart inflammation it came back negative and I've only used prednisone about 4 time over 7 years each time starting at 40mg...
Hi everyone, I wanted to post another update and I have some more questions. I had a follow up with my GI yesterday and she said it sounds like I'm getting very close to remisssion with my mild...
I wanted to update and also ask a few questions. My flare is still mild, from what I can tell. I've only passed a little blood once yesterday, but my BM are not improving in a completely linear way....
I have been eating bananas twice a day for the last week, but the blueberries seem to have really helped. Maybe it has something to do with blending it. All I know is that within half an hour of...
I wanted to provide an update on my condition and some very positive results I've had. I have been eating homemade chicken broth with chicken breast and rice every day twice a day since Monday, which...
Easter weekend meals were a bit heavy and may have caused some more discomfort and D, but I just administered another enema and am feeling better. Only issue is the D I experience in the morning, but...
Hi everyone, I was first diagnosed with UC in 2010 and have been able to keep my flares in check since then, mostly. When I was first diagnosed it took me some time to finally admit that I needed to...
