I'm only taking Sulfa... And it works.. But I'm willing to try LDN!...
Revive this topic haha. Sulfa works for me but it does affect the sperm... In my case also libido but the doctor said it's in my head... But well, is not! Salofalk gave me a flare with cramps... I'm...
One thing for sure - try not to have huge dinners anymore......
True... But Flagyl + 3g Sulfa seems to do the trick! Totally solid poo, best since April...1-2 times a day. Only 2g Sulfa didn't seem to help... He also prescribed Duspatalin (Mebeverine). So it must...
Love stouts and porters too 😎...
I also love craft beer... Unfiltered, fermentation in the bottle etc. I wonder if this has anything to do with gut issues 😶...
Thanks Q! Let's see... Hmm, after Flagyl I haven't been to the toilet, second day now, I hope it's a good sign.....
Let's see... Haven't been to the toilet since I started Flagyl... Thank you for your help!...
Wow, thanx a lot! This is the most detailed explanation I've heard so far... I was a bit surprised when the first doctor said that it's not UC just by looking at the photos...The second one said he...
This is what I have from China: Test Items colonofiberscopy Test Result Indication and Procedure: fgh Impression: fgh Suggestion: fgh examination finding: Colonoscopy go through the colon,...
The problem is they are all in Chinese, I'm not sure if Google translate does them enough justice... It's it possible to post photos here? Cheers man!...
CRP is normal too 🙄. Is it possible to have another type of colitis for 4 months already?...
Thanx! So far ok, but only started today... Is UC possible to be right-sided?...
They both prescribed Flagyl (Metronidazole), I started taking it. Also waiting on CRP test...
Hey again, Clostridium D. came back negative. The second doctor didn't rule out UC. I have colonoscopy photos but the description is in Chinese... So only Google translated... Worth a shot?...
Ah damn... Never ending confusion... Saw the professor in Sofia. Just looking at my colonoscopy results, he said : This is not UC! :shocked: So after 4 months, I hope he's right....But he said it's...
The original post is from 2016...I kinda resurrected it 😇. Let's see is he's still around....
This is known as tenesmus, and it is the most annoying symptom we get with an UC, most of us all know it well. Tenesmus = untreated rectal inflammation. Your solution is rectal medications: canasa...
I'll look it up... Greek food is fairly healthy... I'm Bulgarian, similar food here...I come home only in August.. Been living in China for years... Got a flare one week after coming home, not sure...
Cheers! 😎...
About to do it on Tuesday too. Freaking out a bit... A week in Portugal and a mildish flare... I don't think I'll get to try much Portuguese food LOL. I'm lucky the diarrhea bout seems to be over......
Hmm I'm not that sure but I don't think steroids are needed at this point. I have no pain whatsoever...I do have this symptom: feel urgency but when I go to the toilet it's only gas 😑...but I don't...
Should I try the suppositories to begin with?...
Ok, I'm trying to book a specialist in Sofia... But things seem pretty behind in my part of the world...😶...
I wouldn't mind trying at all.... All doctors say they are useless for me though.... Mine is only at the beginning and at the end... But I see you point 😎...
I've been home for the last 10 days...Thing is the only UC specialists here are in Sofia... Difficult to book but I'm trying. I'm going to Portugal for a week on Tuesday... I really hope I don't poop...
I would have to google this 😇. Well, I've actually lost weight... And was pretty healthy before April... When my whole UC journey started... Thanx!...
Well... Everyone says that it's not a good idea to get off the meds...Trying Salofalk sent me into a week of diarrhea... As I haven't changed anything else... Well, even before sperm test I told my...
Well, I'm 42 and my wife is 32...so we'd try to have one in a year or 2... Apart from that... It affects your mood... Being a man... I'll see if the ones you mentioned are available here... Or I'll...
Got the sperm result... And it's not normal... The s spermatozoa are moving too slow....I really hate this stupid disease now and it's nasty medication...😬...
I think that's the case...I tried the tablets... I'll try the granules as well, 1g available here. I'd love to switch to Salofalk as it doesn't mess with the man stuff... I'm getting a spermogram...
Cheers...I think trying Salofalk triggered it, started the morning after I took the first pill... I seem to be going back to ''normal" now...Will do 2g Sulfa a day from now on......
Yeh I kinda learned the doctor thing already haha. I'll try to see the specialist... Or up the dose myself....Thanks. The poos are back to semi-formed now, yay! Might've been a virus......
I was fine before these last days. I'm in Bulgaria now, hometown. I usually live in China... Something in the food here might have triggered it, my guess...Im taking an Australian probiotic Life...
Doesn't smell any different... I'll ask again but all doctors I've been to say that oral meds are enough in my case 🙄...
I think it's normal... Yep, I'm trying to take it easy now 😎...
The meds don't seem to help... There's no blood or mucus. I was so much better the last 2 months and now this. No idea what triggered it... I'm supposed to go on a holiday in 6 days. Any idea what to...
Thanx...I was excited to try Salofalk but it seems it's not for me. Both have the same active substance... But it seems some people handle Sulfa better... No, I'm not taking medications for anything...
Been on Sulfa for 3 months now... Only side effect seems to be low libido and less and kinda watery sperm. Decided to try to switch to Salofalk, which is supposed to be cleaner... I've been pooing...
Great... I'll try to change it! Hmm the Sulfa tablets are 250 MG only... But my UC is very mild. I read that Sulfa should be taken 6-8 hours in between? I don't think I can find psyllium seed here or...
Cool! I'm not sure if I can find the extract here, I live in China. I'll go back to Europe this month, will try to find it there! I seem to be ok with alcohol, started drinking craft beer again...
Hi again UCers. Have you tried taking Sulfa and Slippery elm at the same time? I can't find any info... I hope I'm not taking too many things at the same time LOL. That's a common problem for all of...
UC Fight On - Do you filter the mixture after you mix it? Or down it as it is? Cheers....
Thanx man..I guess I'll start it again tomorrow..I go home in a month, I'll take Sulfa till then. Look for other alternatives when I see a doctor there...
Hello again UC people :scool: First...I have the mild version. Took Sulfa for a month, pus and blood gone, had formed stools and all. I stopped taking it some days ago because it destroyed my...
Anyone had libido problems with Sulfa? I do...I also read that it lowers sperm count and causes temporary infertility... Any truth in that? 😑...
Been on it for 3 weeks... Helps with UC... But my libido seems to have disappeared...😐...
I love Chinese food... My wife is from the North East of China......
It seems that mine is similar...before I got diagnosed I was drinking 1 craft beer every day...now its' like 2-3 a week, but I don't see any difference , so I hope I'm lucky. It's not that easy to...
Thanks man! I've been eating pretty simple... White bread / wraps , baked zucchini, some fish, rice porridge, pumpkin, potatoes... There's a lot of steamed food here in China... Juice some...
