Dogs have owners....cats have staff...
They are not as smart as cats! If that was a cat (s)he'd have left the neighbour's cat drink the muddy water and kept the good stuff for him / her self!...
I understand what you are saying clo but it has not worked here on multiple occasions since VJ was banned. All that has happened is as those threads have filled up with genuine comments from people...
All, It is a sad thing to say that even though VJ is banned he / she is still dominating this forum. Or rather we are allowing that. I'm sure VJ has multiple identities on here; I think we all know...
i followed what was listed in the Van Jordan thread....to the letter....nothing worked for me only worsened my condition and made me feel sick....glad it works for some but i will not be trying this...
I tried the advice given about this anti-oxidative supplements....with an open mind after reading the back and forth post over the last month....tried all the items listen in Van J's post....totally...
That's a decision for you to take TAA. You have received enormous support here and that is what the site is for. Reply to a member's query, give support, talk about your own experience, look outward...
you may have ibs, food intolerances, at the cellular level you may have some damage which cannot be repaired so that u dnt produce perfect stools...this is all quite common among those with...
Not in an IBD flare or anything but I am having very slow transit time and constipation. I've taken a lot of OTC constipation meds but getting very little success from them. Could the fact that they...
25mg is not a mega high dosage so likely you can stay on it for a good bit to get symptoms under control....i seem to rem asking iPoop something similar and he said he was on 20mg possibly for 6...
Thanks. I do not understand all this hydrogen peroxide stuff that has been debated. Is the assertion that high amounts of the probiotics mentioned above could actually induce UC attacks in those of...
but isnt lactobacilli and bifidobacteria meant to be good probiotics to take for gut health esp so for IBD?...
I have not really gotten involved in the current debate over the Pravda method. It is ugly to see nasty posts on this from both sides liter Healing Well. No side will win this argument simply because...
IN agreement with CC and others here. I have not posted recently as I'm fed up that everything must revolve around the "root cause of UC being found" and if you do not believe VanJ on this you are...
Noticed you are posting again UCyousee....how has your Stelara experience been for your bowel and joints? You are on it a year now right?...
apparently for asking a simplistic question ....but how does trapped gas in the intestines actually cause pain....in particular left sided pain...or shoulder pain...
I found this an interesting article....the expected time to response seems a lot longer for all drugs compared to what we may wish for:...
I've recently been switched to Entyvio. 3 weeks in and have had 2 infusions. I'm still dealing with symptoms but these have worsened. Significant joint issues with no swelling, severe left sided pain...
As part of this flare I have been feeling quite bloated and fatigued. My GP took my iron levels however far from being anemic they came back with normal ferritin but with serum iron (50%) and trans...
Does anyone feel that their joint issues with UC are less to do with the immune system randomly picking on a joint and more to do with day-to-day or sports or work injuries that do not heal properly...
Feeling a tad miserable at moment with my UC....just wondering for those enjoying better times now...what was your game-changer?....the 1 or 2 things that really moved you from suffering to living???...
How can a gut selective drug bring about a cessation of symptoms outside of the intestines?...
My reaction was 10 days later....i spoke to my GI today....the IBD nurse gave him the wrong info and he thought i got the reaction at the infusion day....hes going to keep me on it for...
Yes. It was a delayed 1 week reaction and followed all the details giving on Remicade website about such; rash, fever, headaches, muscle pain. Cleared up within a day. My GI confirmed it was a...
I had an allergic reaction to Remicade a week after my first infusion. The IBD nurse said I must have built antibodies and that Remi was now off limits. But also said that Humira and the other...
Glad you are making progress UCyousee. I may be starting Remicade similar to you to try and sort out bowel, joint and fatigue issues. Has your doc indicated that the joint and fatigue issues are IBD...
Another poster UCyousee also started a post recently about his journey with Stelara. I think he was doing good by Week2. Hopefully he will give us an update soon....
Any update on Week2, UCyousee??...
Yes I think you are right here damo...it was discussed in a previous thread...i think UCyousee was saying his GI had advised him not to try Remi after failing Humira but to go down the Stelara route...
Andreita, How has you inflammatory arthritis held up during all of this?...
Did you lose response to Humira UCyousee or was it an issue with antibody formation? Did you have any flares of bowel or joints on the Humira?...
While I do not want to get directly into this debate or argument I do think it is the case that there is an amount of information provided on these forums that is simply not true. There is also some...
Wow that sounds like a really good start to your Stelera journey. They do say that it is the fastest of all the bios to kick in. It is very interesting that all your joint issues are improving. How...
Cheers. Have gone back on Pred and even after a week it has gotten rid of the flitting joint pain. Still some left sided issues which I think are muscular. Let us know how you are getting on......
What are your symptoms like at the start of your Stelera journey UCyousee? Do you still have significant joint issues?...
Does anyone have an interpretation for fluctuating ANA blood results. Sometimes my titer is mildly positive, sometimes moderately positive but it can just as easily return a negative. What would this...
What brand or particular strain of probiotics has worked best for you?...
You mentioned I think UCyousee that you have failed pred in the past....did pred do anything for your joint issues or did it fail there too....like you im trying to work out of my joint issues are...
Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that your issues still persist. Even though your calpro is low it is still possible that that your symptoms are directly UC derived. You said you had very little...
I agree but in this particular case the OP cannot access those DMARDs for a few months. It then seems totally reasonably that (s)he look at the most powerful med available to bide time and stall the...
UCyousee, how are you doing with your joint and throat issues....have they returned full pelt like you were suggesting last week? D...
Keith, you said you were locked out of this forum by the mods due to arguments on vaccinations. You cannot be back that long (a week?) and you are already at this again. What I decide to put into my...
I did mention that but he did not think Imuran toxicity would present as fatty liver. I do believe there is more going on here. I have a host of superficial symptoms that do not seem to warrant...
I had an abdominal scan in May which showed fatty liver deposits. After some further extensive tests and scans my GI is confident that this is all benign fatty liver disease and just warrants...
A fair bit of talk on joint issues on forum in last while.... Does your IBD joint related pain present with swelling or without swelling? Does it tend to jump around or focus always on some...
UCyousee, I get that feeling in my throat as well. For me it initially seems as if I'm gonna be developing a sore throat but later it seems more like a muscle or gland in my throat has become...
Does anyone feel their doctors do not take their complaints seriously unless there blood marker readings are way off? And if so how do you convince your doctor that intervention is needed because you...
also had left side redness on my scope this summer...Have had pain under the ribs on left side in past but up to now have not equated this with IBD. Could yours be IBS spasms? Not sure if rib or back...
A question for iPoop or anyone else who might want to chime in. Is the scale used for a CRP test linear or is it a log scale? So if your levels go from 2 to 4 does this imply they have doubled (as...
That is a super fast taper Sara....how long were u on pred and what was the max dosage this time?...
