I was trying really hard to not take my Immodium so I could determine what foods are working and which ones aren't. I gave in today and took 2 Immodium. Even my chicken soup made me go! I had that minor surgery on an anal fissure about 2 weeks ago and it's really important I keep it under control so it can heal. I'm going to have to start introducing new foods even if...3 Comments -

I just found today, July 29th, 2010, that I have Ulcerative Colitis. I am in shock.
After 8 weeks of ER visits, a 2 day hospital stay and misdiagnosis (GERD), endoscopy (found out that I had a fungus in my tummy) and then a colonoscopy which led to where I am now. I am in alot of pain and so tired from malnutrician and lack of sleep. I started taking Balsalazide Disodium ( generic for colazal...

Thursday, July 29, 2010 |
The only treatment that worked for my last flare was a Rowasa enema. When my doctor first brought this up to me, I refused the treatment, but later was mad at myself for not using that treatment sooner. I initially refused the treatment because I pictured this painful, messy process. I remember getting an enema once as a kid and it was anything but fun. Not that the new enema treatments are fun, ...1 Recommendation -

These damn dried apples! I had asked my boyfriends sister to bring me back a bag of these dried apples from her trip to Seattle that I had had before. This was before I had made the decision to go on the SCD. I keep sneaking a few here and there and I can't stop! Today I, once again, started out with scrambled eggs.

I think it might just be that i'm tired. Or maybe it's the fact that i'm broke. Or maybe the way Kyler has been treating me. Or that i'm feeling uncertain about my relationship with Garth. Or that I'm frustrated with my house not selling yet. Or that i feel overwhelmed by all of the above. I dunno. I just feel like crying. A walk on the beach tonigh...1 Recommendation

Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis Information
Crohn's disease is a systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown cause, that results in chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, and can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of Crohn's disease in North America is 6:100,000, and is thought to be similar in Europe, but lower in Asia and Africa. Unlike the other major inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, there is no known medical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease. Many medical treatments are however available for Crohn's disease with a goal of keeping the disease in remission.
Ulcerative colitis (Colitis ulcerosa, UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) featuring systemic inflammation specifically causing episodic mucosal inflammation of the colon (large bowel). The inflammation almost universally affects the rectum, and may spread in a continuous fashion more proximally in the colon. It has no known cause, although there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility. Treatment is with immunosuppression (suppressing the immune system), although colectomy (partial or total removal of the large bowel through surgery) is occasionally necessary.
