Hey guys, I’d love to live abroad in the next few years. My two ideal locations are England and Russia (London and Moscow). My question is, how would I go about getting remicade/Infliximab abroad? I...
Yeah it stings right away. Feels like pins and needles. Possible it’s my liver??...
I’m legal. But it doesn’t matter because so much as one drop of liquor hurts my stomach almost instantly.i don’t even have ciders or beer, just clear spirits. It’s also concerning because in my...
Beer kills me, I had a glass of wine and it gave me like sharp pains/tingling in my gut as soon as I drank it. Not sure why that is, but I woke up with a decent bm so I guess it’s ok?...
So alcohol causes me a wholeee range of issues. I can’t even have a sip. I have moderate to severe colitis and litterally a few sips of a low alcoholic beverage will cause me to flare. Absolutely...
Yes I am anaemic. And I do believe it is feraheme. I feel fine now, it just lasted the day of....
I want to know about 6mp as I’m going to bring it up to my doctor. For anybody who has followed my posts, I basically have my doctor saying I’m in remission when I’m clearly flaring just because a...
I just had an iron infusion today and I feel so nauseas and my stomach hurts so much. I don’t know what’s going on & what can cause this. Also having bad diarrhea.the reason I’m getting these...
Is there something I can take to help me with formed stools?? Most of my stools are very mushy and unformed, diarrhea like. Imodium maybe?...
Thank you everyone for the help/support. I’m going to be extra persistent and if there is no changes it’s time that I switch doctors....
My gi did a stool sample test and just got back to me saying my levels are good and that I’m in remission. How is that even possible if I’m having mucus/diarrhea a lot of the times? On top of that...
I agree. Can. My gi’s are quite stubborn though every time I suggest something they brush it off and just tell me to wait for the remicade to work. But it’s been a solid 4 months and nothing’s...
When I was extremely sick, as in I was litterally pooping blood to the point where I almost went into hemoglobic shock, they had me on pred for about 1 month and a half with a Taper every week by...
Enemas are twice daily & are 2g each...
I’m taking mesalamine enemas&remicade that’s it. Penatasa and asacol didn’t work. The only thing that seems to work so far is prednisone (even at a low dosage). Even budesonide didn’t work....
So I went on a small dose of prednisone because I was flaring on vacation. And it helped a lot and I stopped flaring. But as soon as I stopped taking it I flared immediately. Remicade still hasn’t...
I think I have rectal inflamation. Reason why is because I have so much urgency to go like all the time even when I don’t have to. Let me know if it doesn’t have anything to do with it but I think it...
Same exact thing happened to me. I went to one place they said there’s a shortage of it. But then I went to another and they said that they have plenty they just need to order some. Can you ask them...
Hi guys I’m abroad right now. I’m in a flare but my symptoms are getting worse being abroad. No blood but I’m having mucusy diarreah with increased frequency. My doc gave me prednisone but I think...
Yes you might be right, probably iron....
After months of telling my doctors I’m very fatigued they finally listened and noticed that it was my iron levels are low. Not my hemoglobin, that’s fine. But where I live it takes a while to get an...
Hey so it was my third infusion two days ago (10 mg/kg). Finally I am seeing formed stool but.. My stool is very constipated. I’m going 8-10 times a day with formed but extremely small mucusy stools....
Soo basically my gi has switched my meds around quite a bit because nothing seemed to work for me. I’m still waiting for my next remicade infusion..which will hopefully kick in and start working. But...
I notice that anytime I get a large amount of stress/ anxiety I have diarrhea instantly. For example today I saw my ex and got a mini panic attack with a very heavy anxious feeling. Within 15 minutes...
Yes I am on meslamine enemas as well. I was on asacol oral but they took me off because my body wouldn’t digest them....
So for anybody who read my last post saying how I had diarrhea while on remicade, or for anyone that hasn’t, I have basically been having a bad flare for a few months now and they put me on remicade...
So I just had my second infusion today, still not noticing any improvements. But to make that worse, my first bowel movement after my infusion was the most gross green/watery diarrhea. No clue what...
So I just started remicade or infliximab and was wondering how long iit can take to work? I have the first three infusions within this month (just had the first), which is to start me on the drug....
During my hospital visit where I had a colonoscopy and was then admitted there for about a week, they had me on iv prednisone and Iv blood transfusions. Basically that had my energy levels super high...
Hey everyone, So my gi decided to put me on remicade, but that got changed to Inflectra, which is the generic brand, because I have beeen having a bad flare up for some time now. I’ve been taking...
So I think it’s time that I get on Remicade. I’m currently on asacol and meslamine enemas. I just tapered off prednisone a week a go and once I was off I noticed my symptoms are getting worse and...
So I’m tapering off prednisone and taking asacol orally and rectally daily. I am currently in remission. My gi changed the rectal medication to 3 times a week. Ever since then I have been noticing...
Hey so I’ve been in remission for upwards of a month. I am currently taking asacol 3 times daily, tapering prednisone and also talking meslamine rectally. In the past two days I have noticed that...
Is it normal to get terrible acne on prednisone? Because ever since taking it my acne has been awful and my face is breaking out more and more each day. Mainly on my forehead, but also my cheeks and...
As soon as I started taking prednisone I noticed my acne has worsened quite a bit. But even prior to that I noticed that my skin was easier to break out mainly in the forehead area. Forehead bumps or...
On asacol 3 times a day orally, prednisone (tapering at the moment), and meslamine enema before bed...
So for over the past 3+ weeks I have been healing and I’m either in remission or headed very close to it. My stools were formed, there was no blood or mucus and I was going 2-3 times a day. All of...
Any medication that’s taken rectally for the most part is to reduce inflammation from the lower part of your large intestine, so that alone cannot stop inflammation, it has to be treated from both...
I have the exact same thing except I’m in remission. Sorry I can’t be of help but I hope we can both find the answer...
Hey guys so I have near severe colitis for over half a year now with a flare up that lasted 6 months. Just recently I have been able to put the disease into remission or very close to it at least...
Haha yes I do have U.C. Just recently been diagnosed recently so you might see me asking a lot of questions on here @troubled gut....
Hey guys, So a few hours a go I decided it would be fine to eat some greasy chicken because I felt confident and in the mood but right after eating it I felt terrible and I still do right now. I...
