Hi Again, So I was finally referred to a GI here in England, and I saw him on Friday. He believed I was quite constipated (he did an x-ray to check) and suggested that all my pain was due to that. So...
Hi Again, I've just moved into Oxford here. It's strange, because I thought that the big drugstores downtown would have the Ensure, and the grocery stores most of the foods I was looking for. Asking...
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I'll give those all a shot when I'm out next. Also thanks for the comforting words about the steriod enemas, I think I just always get nervous when I'm switching...
Hello, I've just moved to the UK to complete two Masters degrees over here, and I've been here for about a month now, steadily sliding into a worse flare. I've seen a doctor and I'm getting referred...
Hi Again, So after feeling just terrible on the day of traveling back home to Canada from the UK, I upped my meds some, and now I'm feeling just fine. My mom thinks it could be something to do with...
It is really nice to know that I'm not alone in this, like you say. I do know exactly what ediekristen is saying about work. I put in my 9 hours yesterday and just went home. Unfortunately my job...
Hi Again Everyone, I've been doing really well, but I think, unfortunately, I'm starting to get sick again... This time I'm feeling nautious after eating, and I'm feeling quite warm, in addition to...
Hi There, When I was first sick, and then again when I was first put on the Salofalk I would often get dizzy spells. I think the first was due to me being slightly anemic, and the second was because...
Hi Again, I went to my doctor today and she does think it was a colitis flare. Doesn't seem symptomatic of kidney stones or anything like that. FUNMOMMA, your attack sounds very very similar to the...
Hello Everyone, First of all I hope everyone is having a good holiday season. Have any of you had sudden attacks of severe pain associated with the colitis? On Christmas morning I had about a five...
Hi Everyone, So I just made it through my last exam for the term. And thank you, thank you for all the suggestions. I kept repeating to myself before the exam and during it this morning what...
Hi Again, Thanks for all the suggestions. I think maybe I need to be sure to take a bit of "me" time in each day to relax some. Perhaps a funny movie tonight will also be a nice break! Thanks...
Hi Everyone, So what triggered my first flare has yet again come - exams. I'm in my fourth year of mechanical engineering, and the stress of exams and the term ending seems to really affect my...
Hello Again Everyone, So, I haven't been around too much lately because I'm actually feeling quite a bit better - I saw a different GI where I am going to school, and they changed my drugs and...
Hi Lori, I'm actually feeling a little bit better today. No pain - so that's a great sign for the week to come. I tried the Ensure, and a bit more solid food, like chicken noodle soup, and I could...
Thanks for the advice. I am keeping down water, so that's a good thing. And I haven't tried any Immodium just yet. I haven't tried Ensure, which is probably not a bad idea, but I'd have to check if...
Oh that's great to hear! I hope you aren't in the hospital again either! Stress does it for me as well - my year end projects and 6 exams in April set me off this spring - haha, being in mechanical...
Hi Lori, I was actually not bleeding at all before last week, but it seems I am a little bit now. I believe that there were chemicals or preservatives in the food at my cousin's wedding a week ago...
Hi Again, So it appears that the past couple of days I've not been getting any better. I am barely eating - just some white bread and white rice right now. I tried a banana yesterday and even that...
