Avatar m tn I have ulcerative colitis for a few years, I been in hospital a couple of times but the last time i was in it was due to the pain killing drug meloxicam for joint pain. I am almost sure celelbrex is in the same family, so to speak, as meloxicam.. I ended up losing the lining of my stomach. I had had a problem with anti flams for a while and i new i couldnt take celebrex as i had terrible cramps in my stomach.
Avatar n tn However, I would like to say to I have been plagued with ulcerative colitis for 24 years. I have now been in remission for almost 5 years!!! What happened to bring on a remission period so long? I happened to change my diet due to another health problem. Basically, I stopped buying red meat and cooking it at home: beef, pork, lamb. We now eat lots of fish, and free-run chicken and turkey, as well as vegetarian meals. I still eat it out occasionally, but it is not a mainstay of my diet.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with chronic Ulcerative Colitis when I was 25, In 2001 I had my entire large bowel removed, had a temporary illiostomy bag and then the reversal so now I have a Jpouch. I seem to relapse with pouchitis quite often and the pain I experience is very painful on the right side of my tummy. Currently I am taking oxynorm, Targin, tramadol to assist with my pain.
Avatar f tn What are the periods of flare-ups or remission for ulcerative colitis?... "Ulcerative colitis has alternating periods of flare-ups and remission. During remission, the disease seems to have disappeared. The periods of remission can last from weeks to years." *** Springer - Mimics of Ulcerative Colitis... "Infectious colitides such as Clostridia difficile, hemorrhagic E. coli, Campylobacter, Aeromonas, and Salmonellosis can often present as severe ulcerative colitis.
Avatar n tn No I have not. I don't have diarhrea or bleeding along with the mild pain, which are usually part of those two conditions. Maybe in the early stages you don't have all the symptoms.
7681608 tn?1393315067 I had a total proctocolctomy with ileal pouch formation surgery in May 2004 after years and years of suffering with Ulcerative Colitis. I'm taking codeine, loperamide and mebevarine daily to help with the constant diarrhoea and pain. During the Christmas break I had a horrible flair up (maybe pouchitis) so upped to codeine. Subsequent to this I started having the most excruciating pains in my joints. I couldn't lift my arms, walk properly or turn over in bed without help.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the info...I was getting too anxious for the Asacol to work as this is day 5. I was worried that it could be Crohns Disease as My Brother died from Crohns. My Dr. said my Blood Markers did not show for Crohns...however, I am waiting on test results for Celiac. I appreciate your time, Thank You.
Avatar n tn Ulcerative colitis can lead to the symptoms you describe, among other diseases. I would also consider celiac disease, malabsorption, or other types of lower GI infections. If there is blood on the stool, or if the diarrhea continues, a colonoscopy should be performed. Sending the stool off for culture and analysis can be done to exclude infection or malabsorption. If celiac disease is suspected, blood antibody tests can be done as well.

4652866 tn?1373428175 3 days ago i was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Its inflammation of the colon and it never goes away. I was very sick for a while before finding out what was wrong. After starting the medications, im starting to feel better :) little man is still doing great but im wondering if anyone else has gone through this or knows anyone who has. I dont know if i will still be able to breastfeed as planned because i am taking prednisone which is a steroid and i dont wanna hurt baby...
Avatar n tn I was told before that they "think" that I have ulcerative colitis. I was put on medication. But after it stopped helping, I stopped taking it, and I was fine. Then just recently I have been feeling horrible. Stomach pain, mostly on the right lower region, gas, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and sometimes stabbing pain in my right lower abdomen. I am not pregnant ( that I know of, I have an IUD) And this has been going on for 3 weeks, non stop.
Avatar f tn I have GERT and a weak valve in my esophagus, so I am not well informed with knowledge on ulcerative colitis, however, I can give to you a government website that provides information on all digestive disorders /diseases from A to Z. Go to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov. On the upcoming webpage, look for link on Digestion, and click.The next page lists the digestive disorders/diseases. Scroll down the list until you find UC.

Avatar f tn Those are symptoms of ulcerative colitis and it doesn't have to hurt to be serious. You really need to get to the doctor and have this investigated.

483733 tn?1326798446 Hi, Good idea to merge the two. We just made the Crohn's community a Crohns & Ulcerative Colitis community. Thanks for the suggestion.
Avatar f tn If it is mixed throughout your stool it might be something called ulcerative colitis. But ulcerative colitis would have symptoms of loose stools and sharp stomach pains. Do you have any stomach pains or loose stools?

Avatar f tn Recently doctor gave me tetracycline oilment to apply on my anus and when the oilment went into the opening I felt sharp pain. Will topical oilement cause ulcerative colitis due to irritants inside the lining of the anus?
Avatar f tn I wanted to let u know that last year I was taking tramadol for ulcerative colitis and I had a ground mall seizure in my home. Thank god my husband was home to call 911. I am 32 and have never had a history of seizures. The docs came to the conclusion that it was caused by the tramadol. They also said if u take to much it can cause one. Talk to u're doctor do not detox on u're own... Good luck to ya.
