Who the fuck do you think you are, the reason i said that was because I don't know about this stuff which is why I said I watched a video on it. And I don't want to be a supreme bodybuilder. I just...
How come? Surely if you just eat more than a non UC person to make up for it will work. Or try using more nutrient packed food but eat less. I watched a video about a bodybuilder with UC...
Bull101 how long did it take you to gain it all back?...
I do, thanks...
So far I have been told my word carries less weight due to 'I might not have UC' even though you still trust your biased doctors who do not have UC. And then people said I ask too many questions,...
RockerGirl thank you for that insightful post 1. This is a new thread. The other thread I made is a different thread, so do not bring things from that discussion here please, that has nothing to do...
I find that attitude to be disrespectful to everyone. Do you think people actually never tried adjusting their diets, taking supplements, probiotcs and a bevy of other "natural" approaches before...
I have thought about that too, the only down side is pooping multiple times a day. Honestly if I ever had surgery i would demand a colectomy but leave my rectum in place. That way I could get...
I just feel sorry for all the people on here who haven't given natural treatment so much as a shot because they are brainwashed, and when they do, they take a tiny probiotic supplement a day and...
Guys what I want you to notice is that pharmaceutical companies will never deny a natural cure because they don't want to land themselves in a legal mess. On one site it said 'There is no medical...
I do apologise, this isn't Twitter or Facebook. I was under the impression that this was a respectable forum where people can behave maturely and be decent. If you can't have the decency to read, why...
It most certainly does affect inflammation. People keep saying 'there is no evidence'. Either 1. There is no evidence because the people who discover these diets do not have the financial backing...
Also if you would please cast your vote in the poll that will help me weigh up the amount of people rather than count their posts, I would appreciate it thanks...
FSLondon you know what I have wondered that myself. When I go online and read horror stories for diseases I think 'oh my God I am screwed'. But then I thought 'there are probably many milder people...
She she doesn't sell anything, you buy your own food. And who do these gasteroentorologists work for? a private hospital? I understand everybody's disease is different but these are not independent...
Developed from the SCD diet but more strict, my mother showed me it, and then it made sense to me and I believed it would work and I want to start it, but I am a very 'what if' kind of person...
Ok thanks also the british military don't do blood or stool tests as part of the medical so that wouldn't be a problem. I see you lost all that muscle but did you gain it back? I looked it up and...
Um no I didn't you said my growth phrases would close but I meant about growth before they close. Thanks anyway, I know I can ask a lot....
And as for the colectomy as far as I read, you poop 4-6 times a day liquid. You can get pouchitis but usually can be treated and cured. Serious complications are rare. The only bad thing is you have...
I agree but that's my point. Even if you outright said that UC wouldn't cause me problems, I would still look for more ways to worry about it, because that's what anxiety is. About the growth, I...
I am not trying to control I just have huge anxiety over this. This isn't about getting the scope. These things are causing me worry: 1. That it might affect my final stature as a grown up 2. That it...
I don't get how the body can lose that amount of weight and muscle so quickly. That's what I am worried about I can go from muscular to skeletal looking :( And yes I had three vials to fill. What do...
and also are stool tests different depending on what they are looking for? When i went to my general doctor was the stool test different from the one when I went to the pediatrician? my first stool...
But is that a possibility? I get worrying is wrong but I must be aware of the risks...
I am aware of standard medical procedure when I WANT to be diagnosed. What I am saying is if the stool test comes back normal and I demand I don't want the colonoscopy as there is nothing wrong with...
mainly about what will the doctor do if the tests come back normal because i keeps saying i dont want colonoscopy and i dont have cancer...
The NHS England website says mild cases of ulcerative colitis may not need to be treated...
It is not severe if it is....
http://www.jwatch.org/jg200711090000002/2007/11/09/mild-cecal-inflammation-normal-healthy-people here, this shows that mild inflammation in the cecum is perfectly normal. I don't want a colonoscopy...
do you think I might have one? Sometimes the blood was dark red. And I get sharp pain around my ileum area sometimes, and sometimes rectal pain radiates to my right side. though these issues are...
Ok I see. The source I read says that a cecal patch may be a normal part of a healthy colon, and not indicative of an issue. Though even if it was, not everyone has a cecal patch so the biopsy...
May I ask what type of colitis this is or a link explaining it? I'm confused, ulcerative colitis can not have patches of inflammation. Do you mean indeterminate colitis?...
Ulcerative Colitis can not affect only the cecum and the rectum. With Crohn's then yes there can be healthy areas of the intestine between diseases areas but with ulcerative colitis it is continuous....
the only thing that matters is what the armed forces will think. Hopefully if they look at the records it will then say something along the lines of 'stool test has inflammation' 'suspected UC...
When did I say they did? They determine whether or not there is inflammation, which in turn rules out the possibility of having UC...
You don't have to agree, just understand that I am severely umcomfortable with one, I just don't want a camera up my bum when I am asleep, in fact I don't want one at all, and It is uncomfortable for...
I do apologise, but I don't know what FCP means. Well I hope you can understand that the thought of a colonoscopy is really distressing for me. I mean if absolutely necessary I would drag myself to...
That would make sense seeing as there are sooo many different bacteria, some good and some bad and they might not know which one caused it if I had one. I don't know though. I'm not a bacteriologist....
So if the stool tests are innacurate does that mean that they might have missed a bacterial infection?...
I mean what are they going to do if stool samples are normal and I refuse a colonoscopy? Some people are not comfortable with certain medical procedures so they will have to conclude there is nothing...
well just like a colonoscopy can reveal UC even when in remission, the same goes for stool tests. There is still inflammation on a tiny scale that can be picked up in stools. Otherwise they wouldn't...
but in order for UC to be present, inflammation must be present. If my stool test comes back negative for inflammation or any other problem and all my symptoms are gone, that would prove I am healthy...
perhaps I have some other random disease. Call me naive and hopeful, but nature doesn't work according to our diagnosises, maybe I just had a one time inflammation for some reason. I used to get...
exactly so what I am saying is this: Right now my symptoms are nearly gone. So Either I have ulcerative colitis but it is in remission, or I don't and whatever the problem was is going away. So if I...
I know I have already have 4 stool tests but just in case shall I have them do another? If there isn't inflammation then can they rule out UC?...
I will go back to the doctor and say i don't want a colonoscopy and my symptoms are gone. even before I knew what UC was the thought of having a camera shoved up my bum is just urghh the doctor can't...
And also, they take the biopsy from the cecum, unless I have pancolitis then that area shouldn't be affected for me...
and it isn't just a future career choice for me. Lots of family members were in the army, and I've wanted to since I was little....
you'd be surprised the amount of people who put of seeing the doctor. And not for the reasons I have. They are lazy. I am not lazy, I just don't want it on my records. Like on Facebook you see memes...
Wait I have an idea. If I go to spain and get medication from there, and go into a proper remission, and then do the colonoscopy here, will my colonoscopy and biopsy tests come back normal?...
