My 16y/o daughter has UC. Has been on Lialda 2.4 g/day for 6 months. She was on prednisone for the first 4 months of the same time period. Has had significant hair loss for the last 5 months. Cortisol AM is normal. My duaghter also has ITP and is considered chronic, it usually manifests during a UC flare up. Is the Lialda a possible culprit.
I was put on lialda when I started having an alergic reaction to sulpha drugs. I main question is that I now have a bad taste in my mouth. Is this from the lialda?
I am currently taking lialda 2 capsules twice a day. I basically stopped taking the lialda because it made me feel worse than I already was. My question is is there a reason why the lialda makes me have pain in my gut. Are there any other new meds out there of UC? Are there any new surgeries to cure UC?
I started taking Lialda in August, 2008, and took it (3-1g tabs once per day) for 5 months before I got better. However, I am not sure whether to credit the Lialda or the Flora-Q I began taking after three months into my treatment.
I have lymphocytic colitis so this may not pertain directly to your diagnosis, but I hope it helps.
hi there yes i have uc and bowel sounds are quite normal for me as soon as i eat? then i have to go on the loo !!
I tried to do the same thing with getting my Lialda medication but they never replied back to my paperwork or anything. I am going to try again this year to see if I can get it.
I was on Asacol for many years, but my new insurance company made we switch to Lialda a couple of months ago (three 1.2GM tablets 1x daily). I am also on Lisinopril (20mg 1x), Rosuvastatin (10mg 1x), and Citalopram (20mg, 1x). In addition to prescription meds, I also take one vitamin D3 (2000 IU) daily, as well as two 650mg Acetaminophen tablets.
I tend to pay a lot of attention to my liver, since I had a good friend pass away of liver cancer at an early age.
You need to see a gastoenterologist, who will want to confirm this with a colonoscopy. there are specific meds for this, all RX - like Asacol or Lialda that will make life bearable again. In the meantime, try Activia yogurt every day, and a supplement of Aloe Vera gel capsules made by Pharmassure - available at Rite-aid.
s for the last 5yrs and am on 5mg of Prednisone/day as well just being switched to Lialda 2.4gms/day (from Pentasa 4gms/day) one month ago. I was started on Famvir today-500mg tid. I am leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday and am scheduled to swim with the dolphins on Thursday. I have completed my first full day's dose of medicine and will continue until the prescription is completed. I am then staying on a maintenance dose of 250mg/day until I can get the vaccine in 6mos at age 60.
I agree with lizziecee. I'm on Cimzia, lialda and folic acid. When I have a flare to help reduce inflammation too,is to try to stay on clear, or soft diet.Applesauce,pudding, boullion,apple juice. Just give the intestines a rest for little bit. Good luck, and feel better.
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in early stage. Right now I am talking Lialda 1.2 mg 3 tablets once a day. The above symptoms have totally vanished. But literally I am not eating any spicy food or fibre food. I want to know the diet plan.I really lost weight. I have a new problem past 2 weeks. Every morning around 6.30 am or so i have a contracting pain in my lower left ribs. It's very stabbing and also I have lower back pain.
Ok--so now I must be reasonable and ask a question as how is it absorbed when NONE OF IT--repeat, NONE OF IT---is degraded at all? This woman doesn't get it. Anyway, what should I do now? All I want to do is sleep and I have a lawsuit deadline coming up and if I don't meet it, a large part of my life is ruined. Not good!
I have had for several days now facial pain more on the right side and traveling pain throughtout my body. I wake up feeling great and as the day progresses I start to feel run down, fatigue, my face starts to hurt, my lips hurt sometimes, then my head will start to hurt like it feels like its burning inside, travels in my toes, fingers, arms, legs, feet, hands and this will last for hours. Then I will be fine for a while and then it will start all over again. I do have UC as well.
asacol also, but would later switch to lialda...much easier for me....also imurin,75mg..daily...everything pretty good...till I begin the weaning process, once it gets down to the 20mg....I'm only speaking of the pred...all else is same...we "jockey", if you will, around the weaning, back to 2o for extra 2 weeks..then resume weaning......alot of time seems pretty good, however it'd flare in some way and we'd start at the 20 again...Still livable, yes...
I have a history of rectal cancer 2007 with resection. Cancer free now. Last colonoscopy 2011 with some colitis per biopsy & diverticuli. On lialda and gluten free diet for IBS symptoms with good control of painful episodes. Recent hard stools last few days. I also take stool softener & fiber pill which usually keeps things soft and moving. Today I noticed red tinged stools in the am I noticed the toilet water being red tinged when I came home from work.
Honestly, how do YOU react to HER when she's bad? Do you react loudly, wave your arms around, yell, get mad? They learn their reactions from us, and I am NOT saying that you're a bad parent (so please don't think so..we've all been there!)
but if you want her to listen calmly, respond calmly, and learn discipline, you need to evaluate how you approach her.
Most kids have the odd tantrum. This is OK and natural.
the mucus could be caused by several things like ulcerative colitis (UC), anal fissure, or a bowel obstruction but most common in IBS. depending on how long it has been going on a colonoscopy would be somthing to consider.
