For me the worst part was just the boredom, 24 hours in a bed for several days is looooooong - minutes can seem like hours. I asked for sleeping pills to help shorten the days by a few hours. Take as...
Lists don't mean JACK! I went to the "leading" GI doc in the southeast - he had conducted clinical trials for stem cell treatments for IDB, he was an active member of every Gastro organization you...
That has some good information. Don't know if others had this problem, but when I clicked the link it didn't work so I copied/pasted into my browser and it came up....
Yeah, I didn't think it was the miracle one-for-all cure everyone wishes for, but thus far I've seen no improvement whatsoever on Rx meds. I figure if something like this can help even a little,...
Yeah that's the thread I came across when I searched for mucoperm. There is one mention of muciperm in the list of medications for one of the posters, but like you said the thread itself is about an...
Any thoughts on this product? Might be worth a try, kinda pricey but for the possibility that their claims are well founded, a month trial seems like a small risk compared to what it might do for...
Not sure that link is the right place, but I googled Mucoperm and seems most of the results were foreign (German?) websites, and I did notice the word crohn's was in quite a few of them. Wish I knew...
That's very impressive and inspiring you can be that active with this disease. So far I've just read about how people with this disease are extremely limited in most aspects of life and it was...
I know some people here aren't lucky enough to have been insured when this disease came knocking, and I'm one of them. Actually I had insurance for about 10 years that I cancelled a year ago because...
Here's a site with numerous reviews of patients' experiences on Flagyl: http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=12623&name=FLAGYL I think you really need to force yourself to eat while...
It's made by Salix, the same manufacturer of Colazal. Looks like it treats e-coli related diarrhea. http://www.salix.com/products/products_xifaxan.asp http://www.drugs.com/xifaxan.html My GI gave me...
I'm very new to all this as well, just being diagnosed about a month ago, so maybe some of the experts can explain it better, but I'll tell you what I know. My G.I. was leaning towards the Chron's...
Just found this about Colazal. Looks like 2014 might be the earliest. http://colitis.emedtv.com/colazal/generic-colazal.html ...
Thanks for the link princesa, I looked up that website and like the idea and principles behind the natural approach. I think I'll also be on the lookout for another GI, if nothing else but to get a...
Thanks, I will definitely take the fibre, as now I'm going to the restroom more than 20 times a day. Hopefully with the fibre and probiotics along with the Rx meds I'll get back down to a more...
Thnaks, I certainly will look into the supplements....
I've recently been diagnosed with UC/Chron's, he's not sure which one after the colonoscopy and biopsies. So far he started me out with Colazal (9/day) and 10 days of Flagyl (3/day). The bowel...
