Trisheo, what did your dermatologist say? I'm debating whether to contact one.

I was diagnosed this past October with UC and had a bad reaction to Apriso so I did the prednisone taper and am on no meds and feeling okay but am losing a lot of hair too. I told my GI about it and he says it is from the Apriso and should correct itself overtime. I haven't had Apriso since...

Trysha- thank you so much for the encouraging post. I just need to do it. Unfortunately the only stories on the Internet pertaining to ERCP are the bad ones but your sister's has given me hope. Crabby- I had an endoscopy before my gall bladder surgery and everything looked normal. A HIDA...

I was diagnosed with UC in October 2012, which I believe is under control, for now. I had my gall bladder removed in 2010 and even after, I would get pain from time-to-time that mimicked a gall bladder attack. I was given Bentyl and Donnatol to help with spasms and pain it caused. The pain...

Having UC and trying to avoid anti-biotics. The main forum talks about everything about Crohn's and beyond. Wish we had more posts that were UC related.

I was going to recommend melatonin too but saw the previous post. I hope you find some relief and get some sleep.

I would've never thought of that. I only have apple cider vinegar but will try it anyway. Thanks!!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Diagnosed recently and am afraid to do anything these days. I think I will try these ideas! Beats taking medication. :ybiggrin:

Hi, I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible sore throat on right side of throat and it's super painful to swallow. I reluctantly took Tylenol and have been gargling with salt water. Trying to avoid antibiotics. Does anyone have any home remedies they can recommend? Thanks...

Any idea why the gut spasms?

Cool, thanks.

Gianni - so reduce the green or the fruits? Sorry, just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

I was prescribed Bentyl after I had my gall bladder removed 4 years ago when my upper abdominal pain continued even after surgery. Time went on and i developed SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) after a trip to Mexico and a round of antibiotics and was put on Xyfaxin with Bentyl. i...

Thanks Gianni. I've never tried juicing. Did you find that when you first started that it upset your stomach? Just curious about the intake of a lot of fruits and veggies even through liquid form.

I'm wanting to buy a juicer. What brand/models do you recommend? There are so many out there!

Relieved to read this post. Diagnosed with UC on 10/30/12 and have been a vegetarian for 20 years. Was starting to think the only thing that was safe to eat was white processed foods.

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad my cousin told me about this forum. It's great talking to people who can relate or understand. I keep hearing about regardless of UC or Crohn's, you can live a "full life." Looking forward to that! I'm not sure if it was the Apriso or the prednisone, but I...

Thank you and it is definitely good to be here and not alone. I know few people who have been diagnosed with UC or Crohn's and hope to gain some insight and education.

Hi, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis on 10/30/12. Colonoscopy done on 10/8/12 which revealed entire colon to be inflamed. I have always had digestive issues since I was a kid but they seemed to have gotten worse in the last 5 years. I had my gall bladder removed at the peak of my...
