Thanks so much! I see my GI doc on Tuesday and I am armed with a list of questions and several clinical trials. 🤞
So sometimes when I go to the bathroom, I get blood in my stool, some days it’ll be a lot the point of where it drips into the toilet, otherdays it just shows on the bathroom tissue. And I dont know if it’s just because i push too much, or if it’s because I sit for too long. I also get constant bloating, pressure problems, as well as watery stools, and less frequently, hard stools. But the bloating and pressure have been ongoing for years now, sometimes it makes me think that it could be a cause due to constant anxiety that I suffer from. If anybody has any possible idea as to what it could be let me know. Thank You.
Kindly send me the medication for hemorrhoids
Hi. When I posted this, I thought space was limited and didn’t provide many details. I am a 62 year old female, diagnosed with UC 2 years ago. I have been on oral mesalamine, which worked for 3 months until I developed acute pancreatitis. Prior to that, I had been prescribed Canasa (suppositories), Uceris rectal foam, hydrocortisone (oral and rectal). GI doc is pushing ENTYVIO and I am terrified of possible side effects. I am in good health, never smoked, do not drink, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. I am about to make an appointment with integrative medicine doctors to try acupuncture and herbal treatments like aloe vera and Boswellia? Has anyone been on Entyvio or more natural things and have they helped? The fact that I developed pancreatitis from 8.4 G of mesalamine daily was frightening and GI doc said that was a rare side effect. This is a horrible debilitating disease and I just want my life back. Has anyone had good or bad results with their UC treatment? Thank you so much!
