Er last night, backed up with poo, read last comment please. TY

You stopped taking your medication? Is that what you're saying?

I don't think it matters if you take your mesalamine with or without food.

Lialda is similar to Asacol and you can get a generic for it that is cheaper and just as good.

Ditto mom.

I went to ER last night because of this sharp pain from my neck to side, had a CT scan and they said I was full of poop! Never had this happen! Test showed “abundant stool is present throughout the cecum, ascending, redundant traverse colon. “
What’s this mean here..”.desending colon starting at the splenic flexure is relatively collapsed. stratification of the wall of the descending colon and sigmoid is noted. Mild edema is noted of the lower sigmoid colon and rectal ampulla.”

“No evidence of pnematosis of the bowel wall”

Thanks

Took marilax, waiting on my Colace , benefiber is my game plan.

I agree with q. Please speak to someone - you don't have to make any decision you can just get information. Seems like you've been struggling for such a long time. You could have been living a healthy life, free of drugs expenses, and doctors. Of course surgery is not all rosy, you would empty more daily (not more than a person with active inflammation), but you would be free to live your life without chronic symptoms and without long-term fear of cancer developing.

Yes much better, took about 4days of fiber and laxatives and lots of poop but all my pain is gone!!. I talk to my doctor tomorrow , maybe a new medication.?

All my poop iS back to being a normal color no longer green! That’s amazing, being backed up can that make you have green diareeah? Someone thought fast transit time, but actually it wasn’t . My CT scan showed backed up with stool.

Thanks for asking!!!

Definitely worried about you. I'd say explore all options before you with an open mind. You need a solution. Good luck
