Hey all
so yes I had a sigmoidoscopy yesterday to confirm I am still in remission. My scope done 6 weeks ago (complete remission) was on 4mg of prednisone so I was concerned with the daily cramps I was having. Ive tried eating very plain, tried paleo, gluten free, dairy free etc. but the gassy pain continues. Could my gut flora have been thrown off by the colonoscopy? I started with the cramps about 10 days after the colonoscopy.
I am going to add more fermented foods and keep a food diary but I am on Humira and darn it I want to eat! If I'm going to use a biologic with its risks then I want to enjoy food. I take Bentyl at night which helps a ton but it makes me so sleepy I can't take it during the day. I live on peppermint, ginger and fennel teas etc. Anyone else have this?
I've tried VSL # 3, florastor and natures way reuteri in the past but led to increased gas bloating and pain etc.
