Still venting I'm sorry. I got to spend a nice 6 days in the hospital.... long story short my humira stopped working, next on to stralera... and now I wait for my insurance to decide if I'm worthy! In the meantime, I'm out of work, & treating symptoms... the big D, abd pain, night sweats and...

Might be you have weaker control of those muscles... I also think wiping can stimulate more to follow.

Today is day 24 of constant 20+ times a day diarrhea 😔 My flair got complicated by C-Diff. Last stool sample showed the c-diff as being clear and gone. On Tuesday my GI started me on 40 prednisone for a month and then taper. I do ok during the day (well with wearing my depends, and not eating...

Ohh please be careful. I definitely understand your frustration. I had to change GI's last year and I don't think my new one listens as well as the last. It's frustrating to feel that you are just a 10min slot in their day. I'm praying for you. Do you have any friends who might go with you to an...

Welcome, glad you joined. I honestly love this forum. Everyone here is pretty open and honest. It's a good place to get ideas and advice. Also good for the occasional vent of frustration. Hope you are feeling well. Whoops!

Hummm... could it be that she wouldn't want any pressure on the area where the bag would be? Just thinking about a growing baby and the placement of the bag. I bet one of the others on the forum who has a bag would prob know for sure.

My siblings are somewhat ok. They will ask me how I am doing, but I don't always feel like they really want to know the answer. I think they have a hard time understanding my diet. Some days I can eat a salad, others I know it will send me to the bathroom. This causes some confusion with them...

Thanks for all the support. My last dose of Vanco is today. Seen my GI yesterday, he seems to think that the c-diff is gone and that I have another infection on top of it. I am not so sure. Did blood work and stool samples yesterday. Have still been going to bathroom a lot. Got two bags of...

I normally eat it everyday. C-diff at the min, so on clears. I truly believe it did me good. Kept me regular with no problems

My usual soft foods. Instant mash potatoes with packet gravy if feeling brave. Rice made with chicken or beef broth. Bread soaked in soup. Pasta with little to no sauce. Eggs sometimes steamed to death veggies

Day 8 of vancomycin..... still going 30+ times a day feeling very dehydrated, not able to eat anything solid & 8lb down. Living on Gatorade, pops ice, jello & broth. Burned up all my pto time at work, so now have to cancel my already paid for vacation (company policy that pto has to used before...

There are some yoga stretches that can get the gas going. Bit funny looking to bust into a yoga move on the floor at work, but works for me. Heating pad helps with the pain. I also agree with the hot herbal tea. Good luck.

I found that by limiting my high carb high sugar food it helped my fatigue some what. I was eating easy to digest, get energy now food and then I would end up crashing. I don't think this works for everyone, but it did help. Whoops!

I usually stick to fish, some chicken, and when I crave it bad enough lean ground beef. Thanks for the info, will look into it. Whoops!

Thanks

I think I need to look into probiotics more. I have never taken them. Anyone got any good recommendations? Or any other threads here that they can direct me to?

Thanks, just feels like there is no end in sight! Sorry you got it so much, I know that must have been rough

My small flair that started in November has now become complicated by C-Diff:ymad: I have been given vancomycin to take. Anyone got any experience on how long it will take to work? I'm 2 days in with no relief. Whoops!

Lisa, I am like you and don't have much understanding for ppl who think like that. I guess she likes to be the center of attention without really thinking about the lack of help she is giving her mother. Keeping score I guess. My mini vent for the day is that for the first time in my life (late...

Easy snack for me is a hard boiled egg. Also string cheese is good. Oatmeal home made cookies are good also. I struggle with convince and what's healthy for me.
