Unsure why he told me I could stop. I still have them so maybe I will start again and see if there is more improvement before my appointment. Thanks for the tip on the probiotics!...
And yes the budesonide is oral. I was on mesalamine suppositories for a short time but he had me stop taking them when I started the oral mesalamine. I see him on Friday....
Align probiotic for women’s health…probably need to do more research on my options but I made a quick decision at the pharmacy when this was all starting 🤷🏻♀️...
I will be seeing my GI doctor on Friday to get a game plan in place. Starting my list of questions now. So any advice on what I should be discussing with him would be helpful. I have been on...
Sorry for all the posts…pathology results came back… A. Large Intestine, Right/Ascending Colon, bx: CHRONIC ACTIVE COLITIS. NO DYSPLASIA OR GRANULOMAS. B. Large Intestine, Transverse Colon, bx:...
After procedure notes: A diffuse area of moderately erythematous mucosa with friability was found in the rectum, in the sigmoid colon, in the descending colon, in the transverse colon and in the...
Just got done my colonoscopy, these graham crackers have never tasted so good. Doctor said it looks like our suspicions of UC were correct. So now I wait for the report to be sent to my GI and we...
Thanks for your advice! I spoke with my GI and he prescribed me 3.6 g of oral mesalamine and wants me to continue taking the budesonide for the time being. He said I can stop the mesalamine...

It seems as though there was specimens taken from both left and right colon but those results are just listed under “final diagnosis”. Each specimen doesn’t have its own notes in my patient portal....
I have seen a GI for both my flare in 2016 and my current one. GP ordered the stool samples and blood tests and referred me to them right away. Original biopsies were taken from both left and right...
I was put in Budesonide and my symptoms subsided and I never had any other issues warranting a call to GI. They told me it was microcolitis and could be an isolated incident and to call back if...
I don’t have my next colonoscopy until November 30th so it will be a couple weeks until I hear anything I’m sure. In the meantime I’m just trying to keep these symptoms under control. I have 2 little...
The budesonide is 3 mg pills and I am taking 3 of them at night. I am dealing with a GI who is the one who ordered the colonoscopy this time around. I have the pathology results from the first...
Thank you. They do have a patient portal and I have put a message in with an update for them to see Monday morning, so hopefully my GI will have some insight....
9 days out from a colonoscopy to try to confirm ulcerative colitis… A little background, had symptoms in 2016 and had a colonoscopy done for them to say it was “microcolitis”, could be an isolated...
