Sorry to hear that hopefully it is a mild dose I caught that just before the surgery. Did the Doc put you Valtrex or something for it? They gave me something and it quitenned down pretty quick, even though the drug is supposed to be only effective if taken within so many days of symptoms...

There is nothing like annoying a doctor by telling them they are fired. The look of disbelief that you would even question their judgement is amazing. If you try to give me the same drugs I had 17 years ago and they did not work then you seriously think I am going through that again. What is the...

After a while you get used too it. It is all recycled paper. So don't forget to recycle your newspapers so that you can buy them back for another use. :)

My Gi has me on Xifaxan and Bactrin - nothing else. The Bactrin is to protect my eyes. My immune system got too suppressed and allowed toxo plasmosis to attack my retina. So some how these two together + diet are so far keeping things in remission. Long may it continue. I don't mind Cipro - I...

If you cannot laugh about things in life then where is the fun. Yes it is true and I can get rolls cheap :)

My first treatment was pretty impressive how fast it worked. I really had very little side effect except getting better (a new concept) :) Then a I got a job with Centacor (the manufacturer) for a while. Now I have a better job at toilet paper manufacturer isn't life ironic!

You can test for mercury through hair samples - yes mine were high - it takes a week or two for the results. You can also do a mercury vapor test - you chew on a piece of gum for five minutes and then take a reading. The reading I got was 0.18 mercury vapor. I gather a factory would be closed...

I am curious to know how many of us have/had mercury amalgam dental fillings? I have had a couple of doctors recommend that I have mine removed (nearly every tooth had a filling)- which I did and I feel much better for it. I have heard many suggestions about links between mercury toxicity...

Imation welcome I would also take a good multi-vitamin may be consider a probiotic (Garden of life brand works for me.) Good luck

Thank you for confirming what I already believed. I am intolerant to wheat (gluten), chicken, potato's, refined sugar. When I have spoken to GI's. Oncologists, GP's - it would take too long to investigate it. It would not be scientific enough. We would need to do a before and after test (I...

At best 6 times a day at worst every hour or so. Colectomy has increased the frequency but reduced everything else. So no complaints. I had a recent run in with the gut - excuse the pun. Finally the frequency settled down with probiotics. Tried a few other drugs without too much effect - strangely

Try Vitamin Shoppe - Garden of Life

Sorry to hear your story - going on and off the prednisone was a stage I went through also - including firing GI's - if they suggested the same treatment that does not work. http://www.crohnsforum.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Now I have a GI that listens and trys different drugs when needed - I...

I would seriously talk to your Doctor about parasites. If you are taking that much B12 then there is potentially something else going on. I had B12 issues in the past and was told when I suggested this that the probability was very low. Well I saw a different Doctor who found parasites and gave...

My ultimate solution was remicade - Mine was on and off for years - antibiotics helped suppress only

My doctor is so bad he keeps asking if he can organize a colonoscopy which is OK except that I have had a colectomy

I would recommend Primal defense by Garden of Life also what they are doing is helping the body get back to a normal state. Good luck

When you are cramping like that try pressing really hard between your thumb and finger (pressure point) you may need to switch hands a few times - it may give you just enough time to get to the restroom. Good luck

I have used a zinc oxide based cream called Triple Paste - no idea why it is different from the others except that it worked. C
