Hi All, I took Methotrexate from June 2007 to Nov 2007 (~5 1/2 months). I saw some improvement but not enough to keep me at bay, mind you I was only taking Methotrexate since I can't tolerate...
Hi, Well 6-MP stopped working for me about 2 months ago and now we switched off 6-MP and am on Prednisone for a little bit while they get the paper work done for Remicade, hopefully I can start that...
Thanks Red for your reply. We did the test and my levels are not theraputic so we tried to increase the 6-MP from 25mg to 50mg but my WBC went really low and my liver enzymes spiked real high, so the...
Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has been on 6-MP and it stopped working for you but you then switched over to Azathioprine and that worked well? 6-MP was working well for me for about 6...
Red, I am having a flare up again of my symtoms, the usual blood, mucus, going to the bathroom about 6 - 8 times a day, urgency. Doctor wants to try something else in order put it into remission,...
Quincy, I took the 5-ASA drugs about 4 years ago and they caused me severe watery diarrhea and probably made my UC worse than it was. My doctor now wants to try Rowasa, thinking that it might not...
Hi All, I just wanted to know if there's anyone on this forum who can't tolerate the oral 5-ASA's such as Colazal, Pentasa, Dipentum but rather can take and benefit from Rowasa enema's? Thanks, Nsg...
Katrina, I did in fact hat D with it and it usually happened right after the dose, I would say within 2 hours I would have a BM. But it was a small price to pay since afterward that BM I would start...
Hey Katrina, I was on methotrexate for about 4 months this past year, I can say that it did help me a little bit but not as much as my doctor and I wanted so I switched to 6-MP and its been working...
Severin - I noticed in another thread that you had to give up your residency due to the disease? Do you mean your medical residency? Thanks, Nsg121 ~6-MP - 25 mgs...
In response to Severin about how it worked so quickly, I know its strange even the doctor thinks so. I would say in about 4 weeks I was getting into remission and by the 7th week I was pretty much in...
Hey All, I wanted to ask someone who's has been taking 6-MP and had issues with it. I've been on the drug for 8 weeks and its worked pretty well so far, almost remission. I started at 75mg but blood...

Ok so I was skeptical to try this probiotic but i figured i'd give it a shot. Instead of spending extra money, I asked them to send me a free sample and they did. The sample is for 30 days and I've...
Hey, I personally think Fish Oil helps, depends on the brand I guess. I took it as a mean's of keeping myself in remission and it was my only medication. I was able to go into remission for about 18...
Princesa, I have had a similar experience. Thus I have been classified as indeterminate IBD. Two doctors think I have Crohns, two doctors think I have Ulcerative Colitis. The current GI doctor has...
