I had a colonoscopy done 3 months ago. I came out fine, but am just wondering if any form of inflammatory bowel disease can be detected that way. Such as ulcerative colitis (i know i spelled it wrong) or Crohns or any other form of it. And if I had it, could some of it’s effects be detected in my blood or urine some how since I had both of those checked this week?

A diet for Ulcerative Colitis?




I am reading a book called "The Makers Diet" I want to know if anyone has heard of it. I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I want to take the holistic approach. These antibiotics kill the good and bad bacteria. Is it absolutely necessary to eat Organic Fruit and Vegtables?

Can colitis be cured in some cases?




So I started having blood and music in my stools, and the doctor ordered me to have a sigmoidoscopy. I was done yesterday, and they found that I have ulcerative colitis. I’m 19, and have never really had any health problems before this.

I have to take 6 pills a day for two months. Is this curable in some cases? Can stress cause it? If it’s not curable, you one live a normal, long, healthy life with this?

Thanks
Sorry, meant mucus XD

I have Ulcerative Colitis and was hospitalized 3 times and lost 20 lbs due to it. Now that I’m starting to put weight back and have more energy, I have noticed that all my strength is gone and i can barely do push ups,I wasn’t weak before since i was diagnosed halfway through boot camp. Is it possible my body started eating muscle to get nutrients?

How can tissue engineering be used for diseases such as ulcerative colitis or colon cancer?
Any kind of applications of tissue engineering in these diseases would be great help.

Was it worth it? I’ve had ulcerative colitis for almost 5 years and the flare ups are really starting to bother me. Sometimes they last for weeks and I usually end up having to go to the bathroom for more than 5-10 times a day. So I was sort of thinking about maybe having my colon removed.

Was your life better after you had your colon removed?

I usually take Amoxicillin/Penicillin but I have an infection that seems to be resistant to it. In this case Clindamycin is indicated. However I have Ulcerative Colitis (IBD – not ibs) and I am wondering if it is okay to take this antibiotic with this disease.

The infection is a bone infection and no other antibiotics other than the cillins or Clindamycin are usually effective.

Any suggestions are helpful-thank you!
