Quincy, i’m a male. Will definitely monitor it. iPoop, as of now, i don’t take metamucil or psyllium husk. But i will look into it!...
Well, this morning it was formed ... very weird. Could it have been something I ate? Or just part of the wild variations of the healing process?...
Yep, still no blood and no urgency....
It was still loose this morning ... causing me to worry. There’s like no color to it, just watery. Again, no urgency, pain, or blood. Can bad days come in twos? Or could this be a stomach bug?...
I’m not really under any stress right now. Yeah there’s no urgency whatsoever. So it seems like it might be a bug or just a one time thing. I’m not on any fiber supplements, but I will look into...
Quincy, off the top of my head, I haven’t eaten anything in the last two days that could’ve been bad for me. Nothing that was abnormal for me at all. I only drink water. I hope it doesn’t continue, I...
It could have been something I ate, but I don’t really recall eating anything that was abnormal for me the last 2 days. There wasn’t any blood with this stool. And no, I’m just taking remicade right...
Hey everyone, Yesterday, completely out of nowhere, I had one loose bowel movement. It completely shocked me due to the fact that I have been doing very well for the last 3 months or so. Formed bowel...
I’m not taking anything to prevent antibodies. Just the remicade itself. If the flare didn’t totally end and the pred was just masking the blood, do you think the remicade will still be able to...
Thanks for all the info, definitely good to hear that occasional blood isn’t a sign of regression in itself, but just part of the healing process. I’ll make sure to look out for it being an everyday...
That makes sense, iPoop, thanks for all the info. I’ll definitelt keep an eye out on it. Just me being the one who always thinks about all the scenarios, if it’s not a hemi, is it sometimes normal...
I wish you the best of luck while switching to Simponi! Hoping for a great response! You had a great run on Remicade, that’s great! Wishing the best for you so that you can get out of this flare....
Thank you so much geezer! I wish you the best of luck too! TroubledTurds, yes, I am only on Remicade. Also about 3 weeks ago I successfully tapered prednisone so I am now off that. I just hope that...
It’s more bright I think in color. If it is indeed blood, is it normal to go back and forth with seeing it? Also, if I had a hemorrhoid, wouldn’t I be in pain? I am not in any pain at all. Sometimes...
So I have a question. I have been doing pretty well lately. In July I was doing terrible, diarrhea with blood 3+ times a day, urgency, abdominal pain, etc. I was put on remicade, and it has been, for...
I’m newly diagnosed like you. I was diagnosed in July with severe UC through a colonoscopy and biopsies. I went on remicade, which is a higher level medicine known as a biologic, and for a month i...
When i’m in a flare, I can literally hear the liquid going through my stomach, which gurlgles/rumbles, which then of course leads to diarrhea. Are you in a flare right now?...
Just out of curiosity, iPoop, have you gotten C diff before? If so, how long usually does it take to go away and totally get out of our system?...
I have a similar issue, but i’m not really sure what causes it. Like you, I’m new to this as well. I just attribute the rumbling to diarrhea....
Well, it turns out that I have a C. Diff infection, so that could be the reason why the remicade wasn’t working. Once I get that under control, (I’n currently taking vancomycin as an antibiotic to...
notsosicklygirl - i’m pretty sure the positive response was due to the remicade, since I was put on IV steroids before the remicade for about 5 days and there was little improvement. Then right after...
Hi all, when i started remicade i had a great response to it pretty much overnight. The abdominal pain, urgency, blood, diarrhea, and everything else was gone within the first day. I felt great and I...
Hello, I was diagnosed with UC about 5 weeks ago. Since my case was pretty severe at the time, I was put on Remicade and prednisone. Right after the first Remicade infusion I saw a great improvement...
Thanks for the replies. I guess everyone is just different and I’ll have to experiment with certain foods to really know if I have a problem with it or not. As of now, I’ve been doing pretty good...
Hi everyone. I was recently diagnosed with UC about 1 and a half weeks ago and since being put on Prednisone and getting my first infusion of Remicade, things have seemed to be getting a lot better....
