I have just started taking Lialda. I previously took Asacol. I enjoy the Lialda because I was taking 3 pills three times a day with Asacol and now I only take 4 pills once a day with Lialda. I haven't been on the Lialda for very long, but so far the results are good. I'm not sure that it is better than Asacol, but I think it is easier and equal in performance. You might ask your doctor if they have any prescription cards for Lialda.
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?
Has anyone else experienced weight gain around the stomach while on Lialda? I've had UC for 22 years and have been on several different medications. I was on Prednisone for 14 years and never gained a pound. In February of 2009 I was put on Lialda after a 4 year remission. I gained 10 pounds within two weeks, all on my stomach. Last November, I had another flare that lasted 4 months (I never lost a pound even though I was eating very little).
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.
Severe heart palpitations. Did the whole cardiology tests, halter monitor etc. They wanted me to take Beta Blockers, but it doesn't sound like that would help solve the problem, just alleviate the symptom. I had taken care of a yeast infection (with a pill), but it didn't help the heart palpitations. My thyroid tests come back ok. Bood tests ok. Dr. said if I had adrenal problems they would show up in my blood tests around my kidneys.
I've had heart palpitations for 10 months, they started right after a hiatus hernia operation. I get them everyday. I get them at different times, while watching tv or just relaxing in bed, doing normal everyday things. I had blood work done and was told I was low on B12 and was told to take 1000 mcg of a supplement daily. While taking it the palpitations got stronger so I stopped taking it and they eased up.
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 started noticing heart palpitations when I graduated college. It seems like my palpitations are getting worse and have now flat lined. So I do not sense that the palpitations are getting worse. I visited my doctors about them and they put me on a holter monitor and they didn't have a solution for my heart palpitations. So they decided to put me on beta blocker (Lowest Dose- Half of 25MG), which has helped a lot with my heart palpitations. I can now exercise without any palpitations.
Hi, I'm a 27 year old female, who just recently started having heart palpitations. I've had EKG's and an echo cardiogram, but my cardiologist says it's stress induced. She also told me to avoid caffeine and alcohol, get lots of sleep and drink lots of water. I've been pretty good about all of those things, trying to reduce stress in my life, but I've felt palpitations everyday for the past 3 and a half months, since the day they started.
Heart palpitations are common in pregnancy because of your increased blood volume. It also can be related to amemia..anxiety. .etc.I hope you feel better.
I have what seem to be very strange heart palpitations, a "normal" palpitation would be just a sudden "skipped" beat feeling but for me, sometimes not always, i have what feels like a skipped beat and then my heart rhythm feels "off" or if its fluttering for sometimes up to 5-10 minutes then my heart thumps and everything goes back to normal.
Tell your doctor and you all can decide if you need to see a specialist. I was having the same problem and my doctor told me absolutely no more caffeine and that has helps tramedously. I rarely have problems now.
Hey ladies im 39 weeks pregnant and ive had heart palpitations now for 5 years they ran all the tests and said its normal im also overweight hasanyone have heart palpitations and have had a healthy safe delivery im extremely worried :(
I have had problems in the past with irregular heart palpitations and visited a cardiologist. He did an EKG and Echo and the results were normal. He also checked my thyroid and everything was fine there too. I have read these events could be due to anxiety or stress but I don't really think I am stressed.
What could be some causes for this event to happen? It was extremely scary and I dont understand how my heart rate could go so high when I was just sleeping.
Only a doctor and a record of what your heart is doing can diagnose. The first step is a general physical exam, focused on the heart, and perhaps a EKG. This will not be conclusionary unless you have an "attack" when on the EKG... most of us have to wear a recording heart monitor and wear it long enough to catch the "palps"... if you have the symptoms every day a one day monitor (Halter Monitor) should do the trick.
Anyone else getting bad heart palpitations? They always say its normal but its getting really annoying. I even got sent home from work (Forever21) cuz I started crying. Its just really hard and loud. Makes it hard to sleep. How do you make it better?
I though have always had a strong visible heart. My heart has always been strong and powerful and visible! I am an athletic man'6' tall 210 lbs. I workout do martial arts, am healthy as can be. But my heart beats like a hammer in my chest. I have visible pulsations on my chest and it shakes my whole body. After exercise, you would be able to hear and see it thumping standing next to me. My Dr. says I am healthy as a Tiger and it's just from being athletic.

I'm 18 weeks and this morning I started having heart palpitations and they have lasted a few hours now. It doesn't feel like anything too serious but it is very uncomfortable.
I get like little heart flutters and it feels like it's racing but it's not. Your blood volume still increase I think 30% through out your pregnancy which makes your blood pressure go up I think... think is the key word. But yeah I get them too!
I'm 22 weeks and I have horrible heart palpitations. It speeds up then skips and it especially happens when I lay down. I kinda start to panic and I have to sit up. Anybody know what I can do for it to stop or lessen up?
