- Hi guys, I've been away from here a long time, enjoying a non-medicated remission/denial of symptoms and trying not to think about my bowels. Im back, sadly, because I'm flaring again. Last time I had a bad flare I discovered I could not tolerate...
- I have discussed in the past, in pieces, my journey from denial to remission. I have learned a lot along the way and I am happy to share. Disclaimer: This is my personal experience with yeast, gluten, sugar and more, but everyone with UC responds...
- I am happy to share that recently discovered a trigger that i had not previously acknowledged. Some family drama following a death in the family caused me to realize that certain members of my extended family are one of my main triggers. I have...
- Does anyone else find that their mood starts to get pretty low when flares start. I have had problems with depression and anxiety for years, but when i am in remission, my mood seems better. when i start to flare, my mood sinks, i need higher dose...
- I am wondering if anyone has experience with being immune suppressed and catching every damn cold/virus going around? in 2012 i was on Imuran and pred for a few months, reacted horribly to both. got out of flare with cortifoam and diet.now, i am...
- HI, I'm not new to Daily Strength, just new to the TD1 group, my 6yo daughter was diagnosed 4 months ago. she's coping well, and we manage her sugar not too badly with NPH and NovoRapid, but she still has some highs through the day at school,...
- I just came across this information about turmeric on the University of Maryland Medical Center's website under complimentary medicine. "Turmeric may help people with ulcerative colitis stay in remission. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of...
- My doc is now considering remicade to treat my mild-moderate left side UC. I have had unusually bad experiences with prednisone and Imuran, which rule out several other treatment options. I am having side effects from mesalamine too (constipation,...
- I found a great iphone app to track my uc symptoms and meals. There are reports and charts to show how things are going. Its a great tool. It has a place to log bm, including bleeding, loose or firm, and pain, and an pption to add customized...
- For those of you who have struggled with nausea/vomitiing with your meds, what do you find works best as an anti nausea/antiemetic treatment?Gravol does nothing for me, so the doc gave me Maxeran. It didn't stop me from throwing up, but i may not...
- I have been on Imuran since mid-May, 150mg with some discussion about increasing dosage. I realize that i have not been on imuran long enough to benefit from it, but my question is about side effects. Have any of you had a lot of nausea/vomiting...
- I have such bad tooth sensitivity right now that even tepid tap water is horribly painful. i have to put food in my mouth, warm it on my tongue and then chew. fruit from the fridge is too cold for me to eat without pain, same with cereal with cold...
- I saw my GI yesterday, and he is putting me on Imuran, since mesalamine is not working, and i am prednisone dependent, meaning i can't reduce pred without flaring. What is your experience with Imuran for UC? Side effects, effectiveness, long term...
- we haven't had a discussion about supplements and vitamines for a while, and i am wondering what everyone is taking, what you take it for, if it works, and what dose. i take 3x fish oil - for general health & energy - seems to help4x acidophilis -...
- Hi, anyone have a cure for the ridiculous insomnia from prednisone? I rarely get to sleep before 4am, and am usually wide awake by 8am, and the 4 hours in between are barely what i would call sleeping.i am used to a solid 8-10 hours of sleeping like...
