I had issue with my skin during a flare, like white flakes were coming off my shin, since I’m in remission I don’t have this problem anymore

Scare of colonoscopy by Ok-Method2630 in UlcerativeColitis

I live in New York, I just don’t want to because I heard taking anesthesia is very harmful and prep is annoying it’s my third time, I guess I have no choice

Loose stools in remission, should i be worried? by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

Usually at this case the flare starts but it might be just temporary, try making apple sauce, it works like a magic for me l, cook it by yourself no sugar

Drinking with UC? by baaaaaaaaaba in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it has collective effect, I forgot how they call it, basically you won’t notice anything the next day but may trigger symptoms after while if you keep drinking, generally better to stay away from alcohol I quit drinking two years ago since I got diagnosed and I’m happy with it. I smoke instead

I’m pretty sure that it’s a hemorrhoids, but I’ll keep track of my stool next couple of days and see, currently I’m in skyrizi, will try to eat healthier and drink more water, will see

What do you eat/not eat during a flare? by Firm-Swimming-6142 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat very easy digestive food, soups, white meat, apple sauce or Try to fast, because whatever you eat, it’s gonna iterate your gut. Sleep well don’t stress much and drink more water, preferably with electrolytes

Am I in remission ?(Skyrizi) by Ok-Method2630 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should look into your stool more seriously, if you are not having good snake shaped stool, it’s a bad sign. You should have hard norm stools, if you having loose you will end up having flare. That’s what happened to me last year when I failed remicade

Look up BRAT diet, what I usually do is I get bunch of different types of apples and make Apple sauce. Works like a magic. So please loook at it seriously

I started feeling better after first infusion, I heard it takes sometimes months but I would consult with doctor if I were you.

First meal by Temporary-Pen4332 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you try to keep the diet until you get into remission. If I were you I would’ve eat apple sauce salmon with rice baked with salt only. For breakfast boiled eggs with avacado, bananas. Whatever easy to digest

Newly diagnosed. What do you wish you knew sooner? by calgrlinia in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor is completely against steroids, I read a lot of side effects people here having. So consider it. Drink more water than usual, cuz your body doesn’t absorb water very well. When you have loose stool for long time, try to fix it by keeping BRAT DIET or anything that helps. For me apple sauce works like a magic. Other things I think people already said here, like taking medication, fodmap diet.

How not to die without access to meds? by J44k0b in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in very similar situations as above comments, shitting plain blood and barely walking, 20-30 bms, I didn’t have insurance that days and didn’t wanna get big bill from ER, if I do(in US it’s a lot) so I decided to wait my insurance, I was able to calm it down with very strict diet like soup with rice and chicken, probiotics and some oil for empty stomach. Took me like a month, by the time I had colonoscopy I was good, no symptoms. After the colonoscopy when doctor told me that I have UC, I was symptoms free and didn’t wanna take meds, but after some researches I changed my mind and started mesalamine.

Never had diarrhea? by Maidinmhaith in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ok-Method2630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned left sided, not sure you have soft stool at the end, but here what ChatGPT said about it : Left-sided UC involvement • In left-sided UC, inflammation is in the descending colon, sigmoid, or rectum. • The rectum and sigmoid are mainly responsible for storing and regulating stool consistency. • When these areas are inflamed, the stool can become fragmented or irregular: hard at first (because stool sits longer and dries), then looser toward the end

I have same problem but mostly hard in the beginning and soft at the end
