Check out Pro 50 by Vitamin Bounty I believe it is. They are actually very beneficial: they help with digestion and stool and bloating. Probiotics can either work or not. It really depend on the...
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something. So I was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis and I have been on azathioprine for a little over 2 years. I had small amounts of bleeding here and there...
Thanks for answering. This forum is so comforting to have people who understand. I am at my max dose of azathioprine and my levels are good according to the blood work. I’m just nervous about...
Hello everyone, I’m 25 years old (male) and today is just one of those days where I can’t hold back the tears. I wish I had some close friends who truly understood how terrible this disease can be...
Honestly we are all different. I can usually take coffee if I'm not flaring. It's like the only thing I can look forward to now. I cut out gluten and dairy (for the most part on the dairy). Cutting...
Thank you Fletch10. I didn't know that about the brown rice. I do need to drink more water. And I have been feeling better gluten free like I said. I think I need to take more steps to healing my...
Hey sorry about your diagnosis. I have been trying to understand what is causing mine for over a year now. I am on an immunosuppressant, azathioprine. It's helping for me but it isn't a cure! I...
Hi everyone, I have been on this forum before. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis (which is such a bugger to control, even more so than general UC sometimes) back in Fall 2015. I have been on...
Thanks for replying. How are people's experiences with the mucus I described? I have been symptom (blood) free for a few months now and have had solid movements (mostly) but have random mucus some...
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I have been here. Quick run down. Diagnosed Oct 2015 with Proctitis, given Prednisone (which was so amazing I wish I could take it forever) - bleeding down, now...
So I have been on azathioprine for about three months now and thankfully I think it's doing it's thing. Unfortunately I know it suppresses our immune systems, and recently in the past month I have...
Yeah the thing is, I've always had bloating and stomach issues since I was little but was just recently diagnosed with mild proctitis. I go now to the bathroom maybe once a day (usually in the...
Thanks for your reply! So mucus in small amounts (well, small amounts for us) is okay and considered remission? I mean I feel good otherwise, it's just the mucus that I worry about sometimes. But it...
Hi everyone, I just wanted to check, I have been on azathioprine for about two months now and I have been having solid movements every day and go about once a day, mayb twice. I do notice some weird...
Hello everyone! I have proctitis (it could have worsened since I was diagnosed and spread but I don't know). I posted earlier about if I should keep waiting for azathioprine to kick in. I had been on...
I started at 40mg for 2 weeks then started to taper every 2 weeks down 10mg each week. Luckily I had no side effect to prednisone, but some people do get side effects. For the most part though,...
Andrina, did azathioprine take that long to kick in for you? Which rectal meds do you use? I am on Canasa but I don't know if that is enough. What do you recommend I should ask my doctor about? Just...
I understand the discouragement. Know you aren't alone. I was doing well for a while and my flare is back again. Blood and mucous. This disease is no fun. The important thing (which is extremely hard...
I have been told and have read that food may not actually causes inflammation but while you are in a flare, certain foods can make the flare worse. Have you been on prednisone to get the inflammation...
Thank you all for the replies and the welcome! I am currently on 150mg fail of azathioprine and I have been taking one Canasa in the morning after I usually go. That seems to help and give me a calm...
Thanks for your reply. Yeah it does seem to be very stubborn. I have also take hydrocortisone steroid enemas while on prednisone and like I said that seemed to get me down to normal bowel movements...
Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum (well signing up anyways). I have been reading so much on this forum in the past months and I finally decided to post my story. I am 23 years old and I have always...
