I asked my dr. about the green poo while I was in the hospital, and he said it was bile. I assumed that I was "pooped out" and bile was all that was left? Also -- blueberries make your poo green! Go figure - you'd think it'd be blue?

I've noticed cognitive decline, also - more so in the last couple of years. Can't focus, am forgetful, etc. etc. I've blamed it on aging, lack of sleep, maybe vitamin deficiency (altho I do load up on vitamins), menopause, all the prednisone I'd been on over the years, my love for wine, etc...

I swear megadoses of ibuprofen contributed mightily towards my IBD back in '82ish. But ibuprofen has always worked The Best when I'm feeling ill/feverish from flareups of pouchitis or my undiagnosed "flu-things". SO. Instead of adult strength, I cheat and buy the liquid for children and take...

I was dx'd w/UC in '82, had my colon out in '93, and had a jpouch constructed. It's been going along fairly well, other than a few bouts of pouchitis and night-time incontinence which have increased over the years (apparently not unusual). I've also been having "flare-ups" of what seems to...

I've taken levaquin off-and-on (maybe 6 times?) in the last few years. I currently, and have had in the past, symptoms such as headaches, sore neck glands, FATIGUE, heart-pounding in chest, and head, etc. I'm just taking shots in the dark (pow! bang! oof!), and wondering if the levaquin...

Hi, I posted this is "My Story", but am looking for information as well -- so -- here goes -- I had my colon removed in '93 due to UC, and had a jpouch created. Did pretty well with that up 'til about 5-6 years ago, when I started having "episodes" where I'd get chills/fevers, headaches...

I had a jpouch created in '93 due to UC. For the most part, I've been pleased with the results. I have also been diagnosed with Crohn's within the last few years, and have other issues going on which currently cloud the issue, so I would suggest you go to jpouch.org for lots and lots of great...

Hi. I had my colon removed in '93 due to UC, and had a jpouch created. Did pretty well with that up 'til about 5-6 years ago, when I started having "episodes" where I'd get chills/fevers, headaches (terrible headaches), pounding heartbeat in the head, fatigue, flu-like symptoms. My current...
