I started on 50MG of 6MP back in September. On January 27th I went to a new GI in Stanford and she bumped me up to what she called a "therapeutic" dose (75MG). I went into the hospital on February 2nd for an abscess and ended up getting a bowel resection on March 28th. Since I got home I've...

Was watching TV and an infomercial came on about an "all natural" antiinflammitory juice made from cactus. I'm very skeptical about these TV medications. Generally their side-effects seem to be worse than whatever they cure. Does anyone have any experience with this magical mystery juice?

For the last month and a half or so I've struggled with an abcsess. They think it's a fistula and a bowel resection has been suggested, but I'm only 21 and would like to avoid that. I'm sitting in a hospital bed right now waiting to have my second my drain tube put in. Can anyone give me any...

I've been on Prednisone for a few weeks now and started Asocol about three weeks ago. Well maybe about a week and a half ago my back and chest started to break out. I did a little research. Some people break out from the Prednisone, some people break out after they stop taking the Prednisone...

After a colonoscopy last Thursday, I finally have a solid diagnosis! My doctor put me on Prednisone that very day. He told me to be on a full liquid diet for the time being. It's fine, but I'm finding it difficult to come up with meal replacements that aren't dairy based (I'm not a fan of milks...

I'm in diagnostic limbo at the moment but I've been having a flare up since November. I'm at work or school every day (except Sunday) from 8am-4pm/10pm. I don't have a lot of time to prepare meals so I buy a lot of deli sandwiches (I don't eat fast food though). It's expensive and I'm probably...

Yeah, it's been a roller coaster. The pseudo GI at the hospital prescribed me vicodin and some sort of anti-nausea medication which I never took. I've been on Famotidine for about a year, but have been recently upgraded to Nexium for the Acid Reflux. I was on Dicyclomine for IBS for about two...

Hi. I'm 20 years old. For the last two or three years I've been having gastrointestinal problems. It started with a IBS diagnosis, then inactive colitis after my first colonoscopy. After being medicated for about a year or so I had an upper GI and I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux Syndrome and...
