Same. This forum has helped me with the questions I had....
The problem is that if you do nothing for the maintenance of remission, you are unlikely to stay "fine". Since you have proctitis you could probably get away with a suppository every second day or...
@ipoop: thanks! @uniform charlie: I do ok with cashew ice-cream. It’s so good 😃 @quincy: proctitis. He told me to use enema only when I need it and don’t need to if I’m fine....
Hi It’s been 5 months since I started taking meds. I’m doing better. I’m hesitant to say I’m in remission because I needed to use enema again about 10 days ago. But it went away with only two days of...
I’m not clinically diagnosed with depression but I do feel depressed because I don’t seem to go into remission so far. I still can’t eat normal. I just shopped a lot because it makes me feel better...
Since I stopped using vsl#3 the icky feeling in my gut has gone away. I guess it didn’t agree with me after all....
Naww don’t wanna move to Florida...but I have to admit I had been diagnosed with low vitD before 😅...
I read, watch too many tv series. I used to have handmade jewelry shop on etsy. I’m trying to get into paper art (bought supplies XD) I try to paint sometimes. I used to be into photography. Most my...
I’ve only been diagnosed and getting treated for a few months. When I started taking meds and enema it was like I had flu/very bad DOMS after a workout for 2 weeks at least. I’m fine now though. No...
I’m currently not too bad in needing to change dr and my insurance only covers for the Dr in the hospital I work at. So it would be like changing Dr in same office. I wonder if it would be awkward....
I just ran out of vsl#3 DS I’ve been taking. Do any of you stop staking and be just fine without? My insurance doesn’t cover it so Dr gave me samples he has. He didn’t say anything about continuing.....
thanks! I’m taking Balsalazide 750mg 9 capsules/ day and enema 4g nightly. I’m new at this and started on August this year. My GI didn’t mention anything at all so I’m wondering if I should be...
I think you might be right. I’m back to pooping once this morning despite using enema last night. Sneaky flare or I never went into remission in the first place😅 ...
Thanks so much for explanation! While I do not mind using enema I’m concerned about kidney damage from taking both oral balsalazide and enema. Do you have blood works done for that or is it a none...
I have really unhelpful doctor. I doubt he would know anything about things like that. I even have to ask him if I should discontinue enema and reduce meds eventually. If I didn’t ask he would just...
thanks. Yeah I too got severely constipated when I finally noticed and got treated. ...
Hi I have been feeling better so my doctor said I can stop using enema. So I did and there was blood in stool the next day. Started enema again for the week. Got better. Now I’m afraid to just stop...
Mine sounded like there were things hitting on metal surface when it was bad. Super weird sounds it shouldn’t be possible to come from human body lol...
I have small arms and very small forearms. I Get to normal size when I do weight exercises but I just can’t grow this past month. That was disappointing. Cardio helps for me. Just walking. And no...
Paprika powder is the worst I think. There was tiny bit on my satay and there was blood the next day. Hot buffalo sauce is a no for me too even when I haven’t been diagnosed or show symptoms. I...
I suffered flu like symptoms for like a week when I started balsalazide. My whole body was aching. I’m not glad you are going through this but glad it’s know it’s not just me. I sometimes have...
thanks for your advice. Glad to know you can eat whatever on the menu on remission. It means there’s hope of eating non home cook meal in my future 😄 Do you eat super hot/spicy stuff? I wonder if...
thank you. That seems like a good option since those food are agreeable to me too. I really don’t want trouble in foreign country even if I’m feeling well. Rather not risk it. But it sucks because I...
Food definitely doesn't cause, or fix UC, but it certainly plays a large part irritating our bowels when we're in a flair. It's a sad commentary, IMO, that most physicians are so ignorant about...
Hi I’m pretty new at this. Started this year February and treatment started on July-August. I didn’t even know I had ulcerative colitis though I had GI issues all my life As of now what I can eat is...
