Thank you for clarifying Beave JML...
I thought biologics were pretty much your last hope before needing to have your large colon removed. Where do drs go next if entyvio doesn't work? Is that when they start stacking medications? Other...
Yes, they certainly made me feel great for a while, but my uc did return a couple days after stopping them. Like (Beave) said, the benifets are only temporary. It makes sense that they would help....
I must have some kind of hypersensitivity issue going on. I wish there was some way to prove it to you. I know if I were to gargle hydrogen peroxide right now, later tonight, I would be in pain and...
Okay, I called my insurance co and requested a complete list of all the gastroenterologists that are within my network. I found a university hospital, but it's a good hour away from me. What exactly...
Thank you Old Hat. I just searched diverticular colitis and apparently it's difficult to tell the difference between UC and diverticular colitis. I just found this on PubMed Central, it's my goto...
Here are two results from my recent ct scan on May 1st. One for my spine, which could be the cause of my bladder issues and another that covers GI which again could be the cause....
Follow up to the antibiotic post I called my primary doctor to let him know I was still having bladder and lower abdominal issues and he ordered a CT scan. Unfortunately, I was actually feeling...
Something happened to me recently that is very interesting. I was having problems with pain in my bladder and urinating a lot more than usual. At one point I was urinating every 15 minutes and even...
Scroll down to the "Are there any risks" I was using 12% undiluted. https://www.healthline.com/health/gargling-hydrogen-peroxide#risks JML...
Yes, he had my stool tested, but don't remember him saying anything about it, so I guess everything was normal. I'm going to ask to have it tested again because it seemed odd to me that when I took...
Many of you have suggested that I find a better dr, the problem is that they're all the same. They all just go by the standard of care/American journal of medicine/physicians book of medicine,(not...
Just as a data point — entyvio is considered as having the least side effects of the biologics. It is not a “death lottery”. Any medication will list all sorts of horrible possible complications....
Now, you're scarring me, what the H. Are you going by the colonoscopy results from 2022? Yes, those results looked pretty bad, keep in mind that I was gargling hydrogen peroxide two times a day, for...
Okay, I fixed some things at this link that someone brought to my attention and added the inflammation info that was not totally visible in the Prometheus results page....
I will post the right side (inflammation results) of the prometheus test tomorrow. Can't do it on these little hand held devices, need to be on my desktop pc. After that I will sit down and respond...
Okay, here are the scope results from back when I first had an issue (severe bloody diarrhea for about a week) which is what prompted me to see a gastro dr and have a colonoscopy done. Although, I've...
Hopefully this will work, just open link to read biopsies.[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/1h52buq3op4b7l47h1h1u/AMkMcQB0kYuYujOedPTLhm0?rlkey=hj58v5q7sbgfqzgii9zahnmh8&st=3gern57e&dl=0rl]...
Yes, I know that, you must not have read my post on 4-24-2024 5:56 am....
Are you kidding me, this site doesn't have a simple option for postings a photo? What is the (IMG) button used for?...
I got my results to post, but don't know how to upload photos on this site. When I click on IMG, which I assume means image it's not giving me the option to upload photos from my drive......please...
Just to make it clear, my primary dr is the one sending me for the ct scan, not my gastro dr. I called my gastro dr yesterday and explained my fear of doing the barium swallow. He said when you're...
Okay, the reason I'm fearful of doing the barium swallow is because I have issues with not being able to completely empty my colon and rectum. My muscles in the last portion of my colon don't work...
This is what I read, like I said it's a small %, but can happen. What is Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN)? CIN is a rare disorder and occurs when kidney problems are caused by the use of certain...
It turned out that the urine culture showed no bacteria. I'm still going to finish the antibiotic cycle because I somehow feel better in terms of my UC, not sure why. I've also been taking the...
I just requested a copy of my biopsy results. I asked to have them emailed to me, but they can't do that so they are being mailed. I will to take a pic and post here. Some of you want me to post...
Hi Everyone, One day out of the blue, two years, I got severe bloody diarrhea for a couple days and then it went away. A gastro dr did a colonoscopy and told me that I had UC. It just came out of no...
Thanks guys and girls. I just went out and bought two boxes of the florastor. Hopefully, I'll be able to tolerate it.(not cheap) The pharm at Walgreens told me to always wait 2 or 3 hours after...
Hi Everyone, I got diagnosed with mild UC two years ago. I was just prescribed an antibiotic (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160mg) to treat a UTI. I searched online for a complete list of antibiotics to...
Thanx...
What exactly does it mean to (Post a poll with your forum post)? Thanks everyone...
