Equally VJ....what evidence do you have to support the claim you have made many many times on here that "pravda has discovered the root cause of UC"....you have absolutely zero evidence and when...
Absolutely....lets all apologize to VanQuack and as he said in his other post give him the time to digest ;-) this new paper so he can come back and inform us all mortals of the details....him being...
I'll take a blueberry and some vit C!!!!...
which scored a C grade on review !!!!...
Rejoice...the chosen one has come...and cured UC.....or rather it is a long descriptive paper with no results other than a token comment that it was applied to 36 patients and 85% of them did really...
"cures" like this shld definitely be aimed at our north american audience on here...;-)...
Doc Pravda and his band of merry men on this thread remind me of those scenes from Little House on the Prairie when a stranger would come into town with some new cure for rheumatism or being blind....
In support of the above 2 posters. If you post something that quincy disagrees with you are ridiculed. It's been like that for years on here....
Hi Nikki....what surgery do you need....thanks...
Deen...you wrote (before possible editing!)....'My knowledge of this is subject matter is much better.' If you are going to heap praise on yourself in a forum like this then it might be good to first...
personally....i see most of the inflammatory posts coming right during peak hour posting time in the US........
You have to realize how many of the members on here are from north america....and therefore this does explain the lack of respect for others that we constantly see. probably also the obesity...
I've been saying this for years. The reason HW has no members these days, and it is true for all forums on HW, is that on each you get a small set of senior members who dominate and god if you...
Yes we would be considered as having underlying health conditions so are more susceptible. However these stats vary significantly by countries. In Europe and indeed Australia the number dying with...
The Pro versus Anti brigade are a pain in the a$$.....the non-IBD a$$ pain that is...
This is a generic problem with Healing Well in that it is poorly regulated. The moderators, though well meaning, will simply not take on the senior established members who break HW's rules on a daily...
Has anyone had axial involvement with their IBD. If so what were the symptoms and did it occur independent to bowel activity and flares?...
I don't think anyone has been bashed here. I think the comments made towards the moderators have been made civilly and with respect and out of genuine concern. For those of us who have made such...
I tend to agree with damo here Flower..... I don't think he was making an issue about the specifics of the post. I used to post on here years ago..... I still read but I do not post because if you...
Thanks for replies. How bad was the disconnect iPoop...were u completely without symptoms?...
Has anyone had perfect blood marker readings and no significant GI symptoms only to be told after a scope that there is still active inflammation in colon. This has happened to me and feel really...
Thanks. i'm afraid to taper off them because things are so good for me...
I've been using suppostories for about 4 weeks now and producing perfect BM once a day. I have noticed that the very tip of my rectum is getting sensitive. I'm presuming this is from the constant use...
As for a name for the squeaky monster...how about the 'growel in the bowel' or the 'bionic rumble in the colonic jungle'....maybe any reference to the black smoke monster should be kept for Lost...
my norm (post getting UC) seems to be a once a day (9am on the dot!) large mushy formed stool......
What would large semi-formed mushy stools indicate? Easy to pass...
When I'm going thru a good period with my bowel I find my BMs are 'larger' than if I'm having maybe some issues (not neccessarily flaring). When I'm having issues I still go as regularly but don't...
What's your first sign of a flare? Is it really bad gas? Is it the case that the quicker you address a flare with extra meds the less severe it gets or have you had flares that were really bad...
How many 'mg' of fish oil do people take per day? Thanks...
I was thinking that myself. UK GI's and doc's seem to taper much faster than what I've read from people posting in america....
I recently came out of a flare via 60mg of pred for a week and then tapering for another 2 weeks (5mg per day). My doc generally tries and get me off pred as soon as he can as thank***lly it acts...
Are you a) the same weight roughly as you were before you had UC b) thinner than you were before you had UC c) weigh a bit more than you did before you had UC? Thanks...
I'm a UCer for a few years now but am only recently reading up much on my condition. Do many people with Crohns start out being labelled as having UC but then have their diagnosis changed after...
Does gas which is leaving an inflamed rectum 'sound' different from gas which is leaving a healthy rectum?...
How many c-scopes have you had for your UC and over what time period? I've had one scope in 4 years - beginning to think this is below average? Thanks,...
The recommendation seems to be that UCers should drink plenty of water to keep themselves hydrated. Do people not worry that extra water will just make their stools even looser in a colon that is not...
Whilst recognizing that UC and Crohns are very similar diseases and produce similar symtoms what do people feel are the major differences in symptoms between both diseases?...
Just wondering what people's opinions of Asacol suppositories are? I presume these meds are meant to act as a maintenance med for rectal based inflammation. Have people had success with these? Thanks...
Just wondering what people think Digestive Enzymes have done for their digestive health. Have they improved it? Cut down on symptoms of poor digestion like gas and bloatedness? Allowed you to eat a...
I love my soada drinks full of sugar but realising they are bad for my health and for my colon. How do people do with sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade. Are these really much better than the...
Quincy, Some websites seem to suggest that unless you can take probiotics in yougurt, milk or live cultured form that they will never survive the stomach acid and will never get to the colon. Do you...
Phew, I just realised ye guys are working in american billions???? So that would be the same as 1 british billion and 1.8 british billion respectively!!!...
How many billion units of probiotics do you take per day? The literature says that UCers should take a high dosage. Should we exceed the dosage given on the bottle? Thanks...
For those of you who answered to 'antibiotics' as a trigger to my previous question (and thanks for your response by the way): Have you used high dosage probiotics therapy for your UC and if so how...
Did someone mention stress!!!!!!!...
So the experts talk about 'triggers' causing the disease to become active. Do you have any idea what causes your own flare ups? What do you think have been your top 3 triggers over the history of...
My UC is also worse during the summer. I always wonder whether there is some enviromental factor specific to my own lifestyle perhaps that causes the condition to be more active during the hot...
Thanks for reply Red_34...
I recently got a food intolerance blood test done at a health conference. I do not know much about this test. I scored a reaction of '+4' to Cow's Milk and the person who did the test said I should...
So the steroids suddenly seem to have kicked in after a week....im waiting on a bed to go into hospital for I-V treatment...suddenly i feel much better, wondering now should i ring my doc and hold...
