- Hi, all,Next week I'll be going to Washington, DC for 4 days (well, 5 days...I'll be leaving EARLY Monday morning and returning Friday evening. I live in Los Angeles. This is the first time I've flown since being diagnosed with UC in July, 2013. I'm...
- So, it's better to have a diet that is full of organic stuff, right? The problem with me, though, is that I can't afford organic all the time. I would readily do an organic diet if it would help my UC, but I don't cook and don't have the money for a...
- For the past few months I've been using Yakult as my probiotic. However, in the middle of September, I'll be traveling & I don't want to worry about keeping Yakult cold or possibly not finding any. Does anyone know of any good probiotics for UC that...
- So, what foods do you find yourself eating the most during a flare? I find myself eating a lot of eggs, white rice, fruit cups, and chicken.
- So, I'm at the tail end of a flare and I've started eating foods that I ate when I was in remission. So far, so good. But for dinner I had a chicken sandwich that had bacon & mayo in it, along with tomato & lettuce. Now I'm freaking out that I...
- Hi, all, so I've had two lab results a week apart that have shown high levels of inflammation. I'm at the end of a flare (having practically no symptoms), but I have been fighting the effects of a sinus infection/inner nose infection for about a...
- Has anyone experienced really dark brown stools? I've noticed them over the past couple of days; I don't know if it's because of my sinus problems or what. I'm working on getting out of a flare and when I wipe I don't notice any significant blood,...
- I'm working on getting out of a UC flare and I've developed a sinus infection. Fun. My nose has swelled up and my head feels full of shit. But I am soooo afraid to take antibiotics! I'm taking Tylenol Sinus and Vtamin C in addition to my other...
- So I was working through a flare and for a week or so I was doing pretty well. Now, last night & today I've had blood & mucus again. I'm so frustrated and wondering what I could've done wrong????I've been taking my meds faithfully, I've been eating...
- Hi, all,My GI prescribed me to be on 9mg/day of Uceris for my current flare. Has anyone taken this med? If so, how was your experience...did you notice side effects?
- Hi, all,I'm in my first flare since being in remission for almost 2 years. I was first diagnosed with UC in July, 2013, after 3 weeks of going to the bathroom 10 times/day, passing blood, etc. I had a colonoscopy that confirmed that the left side &...
- Do any of you get horrible dreams? I had one last night that threw me for a loop. In the dream I encountered the theme of what plagues me with OCD: Harm. I know every single person on this planet has horrible dreams, but can't our brains give us a...
- Hi, everyone,I'm sure I'm not the only one who freaks out about other mental illnesses, such as if I have something else besides OCD, or if I've been misdiagnosed...etc etc. I'm freaking out that I could be schizophrenic because I have harm OCD and...
- Does anyone worry about what others think about your actions/words? For instance, since getting diagnosed with OCD and finding out that it's a mental disorder, I've often wondered if others interpret what I say/do/write as "weird" or symptoms of...
- Hi, all,I was diagnosed with UC this past July (2013) and I have been very lucky since then; I've only had minor issues and no flare-ups. However, being diagnosed was a big thing for me. Since then I haven't been emotionally well. I've been...
