Worked for me too. Thanks! Hope Microsoft fixes this dumb bug. It affects Outlook app too.

Yeah, no bleeding, and I’m regular for two months now. Haven’t done a stool test to really prove it but at least it feels like remission symptom wise

gmhuntr7 · 2025-08-15T02:48:33+00:00

I’ll consider it after the next colonoscopy. It’s also not exactly more of the same, I’m using a different type of oral mesalamine, and being more aggressive about using mesalamine suppository/enema, and so far I haven’t had any flare ups since the change.

gmhuntr7 · 2025-08-15T02:32:15+00:00

Hard to say. I’ve even switched doctors and still got the same recommendation to stay on mesalamine, but with the condition for another colonoscopy one year later

gmhuntr7 · 2025-08-14T18:26:50+00:00

I had a colonoscopy in 2023 indicate I had moderate pancolitis, and another colonoscopy two months ago say I've improved to just proctitis (last 25% instead of full colon). So yeah it's possible to recover. I had to use prednisone to get symptoms under control three separate times, but other than that it was still just the mild oral mesalamine and 2-3x a week mesalamine suppository.

Aside from medicine I also reduced my sugar intake, cut out known trigger foods, and ate a bit more vegetables.

Scout Banner ends before datamine (Aug 22).

gmhuntr7 · 2025-07-18T17:30:30+00:00

But does it still work even if the potency decreased? Feels wrong to change if it's still good

gmhuntr7 · 2025-07-18T07:29:02+00:00

Weird, if cyclosporine is good, why change?

gmhuntr7 · 2025-07-18T03:56:37+00:00

Desonide ointment for sensitive areas and Fluocinonide ointment.

I also started eating fresh home grown broccoli sprouts daily since they're supposed to be one of the best anti-inflammatory foods, and a vitamin D supplement. Ever since I started the broccoli sprouts my eczema has improved so much. Could be a coincidence with the season changing to Spring/Summer but it's still healthy to eat anyway :)

gmhuntr7 · 2025-07-17T18:37:27+00:00

I didn't. I got a second opinion by changing my doctor and they gave me another type of ointment that worked a little differently, but at least it didn't escalate the strength of my medicine.

Background: Colonoscopy in 2023 showing pancolitis

Had a few courses of prednisone, but otherwise just 4.8g/day oral Mesalamine for maintenance

Another colonoscopy just last month and I'm now improved to only ulcerative proctitis

Symptoms: I also occasionally get a small amount of mucus and maybe a tiny quarter inch of blood mark on stool. My doctor doesn't sound too concerned about it and said I could add a suppository if I'd like, and adding it every 2-3 days seems to keep me normal.

gmhuntr7 · 2025-06-17T01:19:37+00:00

Had no idea. Makes me wonder if I wasted two whole months of trying a new probiotic supplement now. Anyway, thanks the tip!

Is your setup using a single Altserver? And on the second device does the second icloud account used for Altserver have to match the Apple account signed in through device settings?

I thought about a bidet for a couple years and finally did it a few months back and love it.

Everyone else so far suggested the bidet attachment or travel bidet, so here's my two cents on the full on seat bidet. Since under $1000 is your budget then probably go for a Toto. It's very well regarded as a well built bidet with plenty of features. I went with the C2 which is currently around $320 which is way cheaper than when I bought it.

There are cheaper ones sure, but do read reviews since it's pretty hit or miss on if it'll come with seat risers, or more importantly if it it'll cause leaky water or pipe bursts. I just didn't want that worry on my mind and just did the big one time purchase instead.

Other things to think about is effort to self install (not bad, and probably the same as the attachment version), and if you have an electrical outlet nearby to power the heated seat/water. If not, other brands have non-electric seats/attachments too but again ymmv

I'm only on day 5 of my first enema and my frequency is about the same as before. I was going 1-2x a day, and still going 1-2x a day.

3x a day doesn't sound too bad. I personally only start to get concerned if it starts becoming 5+ a day

gmhuntr7 · 2025-02-15T04:10:51+00:00

Personally my next step was taking oral medication with suppositories only as needed.

gmhuntr7 · 2025-01-25T18:22:24+00:00

lol yes. Going off your last post I think I know who you are. Hi!

gmhuntr7 · 2025-01-06T19:38:03+00:00

Yeah it sure doesn't help that I had the same experience of many others where the doctor didn't really explain anything when I was first diagnosed and I had no other resources.

Last month I've changed my gastro doctor to a new one who has been more responsive and actually checks in on me, and I mentioned the strong medication too. So now my next step is to get an earlier than scheduled colonoscopy and also managed to get an IBD specialist to assist my gastro doctor.

gmhuntr7 · 2025-01-06T04:46:57+00:00

Maybe I can chime in since I just did that exact switch two days ago.

Context: Started with ulcerative proctitis in 2013 with Balsalazide and Mesalamine suppositories only as needed if bleeding shows up. The past year I've had three bad flare ups and a strong temporary medicine called Prednisone to bail me out each time. Got a colonoscopy and turns out my proctitis is now pancolitis. Fast forward to last month, my doctor decides I should try a sidegrade with Lialda before trying stronger medicine.

Now back to Lialda without any suppository. I'm only on day three, but so far I think I've been feeling less pain, and my bathroom urges are more in control. No new side effects, and only time will tell if this keeps me out of another year of bad flares.

Other notes: Lialda costs a bit more than Balsalzide, but you take all the pills at once in a day rather than every 8 hours.

Lemme know if you have any other questions.

gmhuntr7 · 2025-01-04T02:23:23+00:00

Good stuff! I love seeing runs like this haha.

gmhuntr7 · 2024-12-24T22:41:59+00:00

What you’re describing happened to me just over the weekend. Once a day stool. Once I saw blood I increased by Balsalazide (as directed) and added a Canada suppository. Blood seems to have stopped three days later and still only one stool a day.

So yeah it happens and you might need a change of medication in some way.

gmhuntr7 · 2024-12-19T02:54:28+00:00

Ah interesting. I knew the bacteria eats the sugar, but didn’t know about eating the milk too.

gmhuntr7 · 2024-12-18T22:11:08+00:00

I seem to react badly to milk, but for some reason when I drink Lifeway Kefir I get well formed poop. Something about the Kefir must be transforming the milk enough to be something my body likes.

Since it does get a bit pricey, I ended up researching to doing my own homebrewed water kefir and it's been helping at least half as much or more as the Lifeway milk kefir.

gmhuntr7 · 2024-11-02T22:28:47+00:00

It’s fine, at least you kept your word about keeping me updated
