Unfortunately I have had like 6 or so transfusions. The sting wasn't imagination. Let your nurse know to defrost the blood bag prior to administering. Some get the bag and start immediately while it...
Ambling, it is definitely worth it ! SG and BG, it does help alleviate a lot of the cramping. I think me and my TENS were meant to be as someone threw theirs out so I bought new pads and we've been...
Lately I have been feeling like the mush we poop out. I feel like I have a fever because I get sweaty and sometimes I have chills — but, no fever. It's 98.6. (I'm a derp, I have anemia. Forgot it can...
I own one and was wondering if anyone has used this for ulcerative colitis cramping/pains? I'm giving it a test run since I am unable to take Tylenol as a pain killer. For those who do not know what...
Are you house bound or can you go place to place as long as there is a bathroom in the vicinity? If so I would suggest to get out some because staying at home is what always brings me down. It's like...
I've had about 6 blood transfusions before I said, "no more"! The lowest level I have had is a 4.0 which in all honesty, wasn't as bad as it seems. I do not agree with blood transfusions as I feel...
To help you with some nutritional problems, I would look into making a homemade bone or chicken broth. It's really easy to make chicken broth (bone takes longer) if you haven't. All I do is get a...
I would kick magnesium pills to the curb as they can irritate our gut lining. I take a transdermal application of magnesium. I take a cup of magnesium chloride flakes to a cup of distilled water (the...
Vitamin C seems to improve iron absorption too, I've just read this. I drink a tall glass of water with half a lemon squeezed into it. Be sure to drink some plain water after that! Some people say...
I loved Suprep! It was the best for me due to it's size and I only needed to drink one bottle to get a clearish yellow return. Although, I did get nausea as well but I would gulp as much as I could...
She is really in good spirits still, and I think she really enjoys the constant company as I sit out in the yard with her. I don't know what your beliefs are with animals but I know that they know...
I'm not sure about the enema but anemia can do that if your iron is low. I faint when moving from warm air to really cold air (aka the winter and heated cars) if I'm not too careful....
I read it in relation to MS and vit D too, so I think the month is redundant when you have people from all over the US and world posting here as weather so varied depending on location ... I live in...
so what ?????? how many times a day do you s**t your pants ? i've done it enough to be embarrassed about it but i would do it 100x over to never have to keeled over in pain from UC. ;) it's happened...
I second iPoop. Oral mesalamines plus enema ones put out the flare as quickly as possible for me. I administer it while laying on my left side, on the bed. You can use a towel underneath you in case...
I don't think you should get surgery unless you're in dire need of it. You crap your pants, so what? I think you just need a good regimen that works for you since apparently Remi is doing nothing....
First day of spring baby. March 20th! :)...
600 pounds = $1010.58 US Dollar I wouldn't believe in long distance healing. There's too much room to be scammed. If the guy was in your location, then I'd give it a whirl....
I think iron infusions are too much of an extreme personally, unless you need it in an emergency situation. I'm trying to avoid anything that my body cannot produce or is unnatural such as...
When you eat leafy greens, you always need a source of vitamin C so that your body will have an easier time absorbing it, which you know. Instead of the supplements, you can also sauté the spinach...
The pains you feel might be gas pains. Does the pain seem to get easier after you pass the gas?...

It can be a cold. I was told when you have the flu, you vomit. :)...
What medications is he on? Is he allergic to anything? I'm sorry that your husband was fired. I think you should speak to a lawyer especially if you can find one who offers free consultation because...
Here are a list of vegan sources for omega 3's: http://plenteousveg.com/vegan-sources-omega-3/ There's a lot of yummy fruits and vegetables. :)...
Just to be safe, I warm up the bottle with my hands for 5-10 mins so that it can be closer to body temp. :) Also, the minimum time you should hold it in is 30 minutes. So if you cannot hold it...
I'd stick to grounded flax seeds. I feel they have better omega's and you don't have the chance of getting spoiled fish!...
Sometimes all the ingredients aren't listed on cans. For example "natural flavors" can be a whole sort of different ingredients. There also has to be a preservative that's in there that you may not...
Hm, I have the same one and have no problem getting it all out of the bottle. The tip is definitely annoying. At first, I thought I was dong something wrong, lol. Yeah, it's not a big deal if you...
What coco powder brand is best? Besides Hershey's. I'm looking for a more natural brand....
The colonoscopy can throw your bowels off for a bit, so give it one more week to see if it will get back to it's normal swing. The scope messes with the inflammation, so yes, it might have made you...
I would suggest downloading the add on AdBlock and see if those problems continue to happen. I use Firefox so I have never encountered a problem like that. Even checking with Chrome, the issue didn't...
Rolling it up would be the best. But what I do, is squeeze in down the middle to get as much out as possible and then sloppily roll it up to get what's left in the corners/sides....
When I have soreness around the belly button or lower back I slather on Extra Strength Bengay. I would also take Tylenol for arthritis so the 500mg ones? The triggers from laying on your side will...
Spinach doesn't hurt the intestines as much as iceberg lettuce; now that's a cringer! I avoid anything processed and maybe that is why you didn't feel good after? I cannot eat canned soups anymore,...
The second url guys, is .jpg not .jpj just so you know. It's a typo. :) I don't have any advice for you, I apologize. Bumping this up and maybe someone else can help?...
LOL! Donate it back .. you sure are something soy !...

I can see this working, maybe not as a cure but definitely as a reliever. When I was first diagnosed, I was a member at LA Fitness gym and the best part about that gym was the sauna and hot tub....
Is it almost a full moon? I tend to lose track of it but, that is most likely the cause. I'm not sure what to tell you, as my mom passed away 2 years ago at 59. But I do understand your worry. I used...
I wouldn't mind the multiple trips because for the time being, it's only 2x in the morning. But sometimes, if I leave as soon as I use it, my colon wants to make me believe there is more by sending...
Maybe you at first you push it pass the sphincter muscle but then when you're about to squeeze it it moves? I never had that problem with it leaking. When I put my leg up, I also twist my torso a bit...
I don't understand exactly what you mean so I will explain to the best of my ability. If you have the Rowasa enema, what I do is lay on my side (normally my left as I am right handed) and prior to...
Actually, after a nap I had today I felt really drained. It must be the energies. :( I hope everything turns out the way you want it to and that your mom will be OK for whatever reason you are...
Sorry to have to welcome you, UC can be a butt kicker most of the time. At least we know that there isn't anything tougher than yourself to kick your arse? :) The vomiting, when this happens, do you...
"I do like eating yoga mats, but only the organic ones." Reminds me of the most interesting man in the universe commercials. :-)...
Pairing it with my rectals, it put me in a remission, at least from mucus, D and bleeding within 3 days (72 hours). I still had some pains from gas for a little while longer but it cleared up...
Whether you eat GMO or "organic" fruits and vegetables, vinegar washes can help with removing a lot of that crap, even if you grow your own. You never know if there is E. Coli or other germs on your...
I use mesalamine enemas but I had prior experience to enemas in general so I was able to hold it. If it's your first time, it's probably gonna take some time for you colon to get used to it. What...
For my mesalamine enemas, in the morning it's very gassy too but the bleeding stopped. I suppose my problem would be is that I eat late so the food doesn't digest right/until the morning. I hope your...
