s under control from steroids like once the steroids bring down your flare up u will continue to take pentasa to maintain your colitis control so you could be on it for quite sometime i have never taken pentasa myself thought they have me on salofalk which i believe is for the same thing, just to keep uc under control. not sure if that helped at all but anyways good luck wishing you the best.
i have uc 2 years ago i have no diahrea no belly pain just some time see some blood when i go to bath i take pentasa 4 pills per days for 8 mounths i i didn't see any blood from the first 10 days when i started to take pentasa i stopped to take it 7 mounths but then the bleeding back then i started to take pentasa again but since 3 months but bleeding never stop come and god ,,,i heard that vitamin D, yoghurt , banana, fenugreek,tumeric..
I am 56 year old male, diabetic type 2, have been diagnosed a year ago with ulcerative colitis, they prescribed pentasa as medication, now after one year I for rectal bleeding again, I took pentasa 2000 mg on my own , rectal bleeding stopped, watched my diet for a few days , then I went back to my bad eating habits drinking carrot juice , and tuna with little spices, diarreha came back and today I took 2000 mg pentasa orally, after but was eating sweets , now after a few hours at night bleeding
He was under treatment and was given Pentasa granules , T PAN (40mg), Tab wysolone and Pentasa Anema. As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon).
Your answer brought me back to logic for the first time and I checked the symptoms of Pentasa and Ulcerative Colitis and as you said most of the symptoms are related to them.
I would like to forward my warmest appreciation for your input and to be honest, the last two months made me suffer but helped me appreciate how much I love my family, life, and God hence no more sexual sins would be committed in this life.
God bless you Doctor and regards to Dr. Cumming as well.
Thank you for the kind words. Having suffered from ulcerative colitis myself for ten years since I was 21 I then perforated and had a total colectomy and J-pouch. It definitely helped me to know what was going on with him and for him he was able to take the disease so much more seriously than I did at his age after seeing what I went through. He is at the stage right now where he wants to pretend he doesn't have it since he is in total remission.
My colitis has still not gone into remission it has been about 1 1/2 years with constant flare-ups. In the past couple of months I have no energy, my whole body hurts all the time. I feel like I have been in a marathon, I just ache all the time. I do not sleep well, I feel depressed, my question is "is this from the ulcerative colitis or could something else be going on? I take six pills a day of Asocal 400 mg.
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.
My name is brittney. I'm 22 and have had ulcerative colitus for about a year. On imuran once a day and pentasa 4 times a day(neither of which are working).
I know most people tend to malnurished and lose alot of weight with this disease< due to all the dhiarria and blood loss and such. I actually seem to be gaining weight. not to much, but not losing anything at all even though having the extreme pain and dhiarria.
anyone else experience this?
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.
s Foot, 2 blisters on groin, gingivitis x 2 times, block nose, etc... I have Ulcerative Colitis and on Pentasa x 4 pills per day (since 2 years). I had 2 HIV high quality tests and turned out to be negative. But the Herpes IgG was 4.6, urine after 76 days was 8-10 RBC and 2-4 WBC for the first time ever. For the last 5 days I hear my abdomen bloating every hour or two and my stools (once per day) are a bit orange and thin. Your situation analysis would be highly appreciated.
i was having severe headache,some times knee pains,eye becomes red and pains.iam using pentasa ,budeg-cr and pantodac.after started using medicines am bit free of almost all symptoms except headache.the severity of headache is reduced but i get it frequently.if it comes it doesnt go in a short times some times a day or 2days its coming constantly.my doctor is saying headache is not because of crohn's .if any body with crohn's is having the same symptom? or is it because of anything else?
Sorry, just wanted to correct: I went to the emergency the first 2 occurences of the flare ups (after being in remission for 8 years). I didn't go to the emergency 2-3 times for the first flare-up... and as an additional detail, it was at least 2 years between each episode, 3 for the last one (the current one).
"Diet" does seem to be the trigger of these flare ups.
That is awesome you are doing so great with ulcerative colitis! I'm on Remicade for mine, it is literally the only drug that has ever put me in remission. If you don't mind me asking what are you on for your UC while pregnant?
The entire span of this illness has been about six weeks, so I caught it very early, and hopefully nipped it in the butt. But I was misdiagnosed with infectious colitis and put on antibiotics for a week, which temporarily subsided the discomfort. However, the symptoms came right back and I had to be removed from school. I couldn't eat and lost 20 pounds in a few weeks. I had every test you could imagine preformed multiple times and visited the doctor usually at least two times a week.
so sorry to hear about your miscarriage! it must have been awfull for you !! especialy with the colitis iswell !! ive got colitis iswell and i find when im on my period i can have a flare up iswell ? i dont why this happens ? im still currently on prednisolone and pentasa/ which /touch wood/ at the moment is under control? you sound like you realy need some prednisolone? get to see your doctor as soon as you can?
I had a low risk exposure but 3 fellatio in 1 day and the third one was unprotected.. on Pentasa for 2 years / Ulcerative Colitis(500mgx4/day). 15 days after exposure and over 6 weeks I experienced too many symptoms: back acne, insect-like pimples very itchy on legs, hands, and abdomen. low fever for one week, athlete's foot, penile burn, blisters x 2 on groin, minor lymph node on left neck, mouth thrush, night sweats from 15 days, coughing for 15 days, you name it.
16 years age I was diagonsed with ulcerative colitis. My entire colon was removed . I had a temporary iliostomy then 3 months later experienced a successful reversal. Today I am recovering from a ruptured bowel, I once again have an iliostomy, and have been diagonsed with Crohn's disease. The first line of treatment was 4 weeks on Pentasa and Rowasa. Following a scope last week, the crohn's is clear in the small intestine and I am feeling pretty good. (still 30 lbs underweight).
Thanks for your reply. She is already taking Ciproflaxin,plus Flagyl, Pentasa and Welchol.
In assition, She was presecribed the steroid enemas to combat ulcers which fomed between the pouch and her anus; which is so contracted (possibly from the lack of solid stool for 20 years?) that with the constant irritation of liquid stool, cleansing and shrinkage she says it too painful to insert the tip of the enema bottle.
Does anyone deal with chronic constipation? I have ulcerative colitis but rarely get the usual symptoms. Its a constant struggle to try to be regular, I don't even know what that means anymore! I have pain most of the time. I've tried metamucil, Peg, senna, drinking more water, eating more fibre, etc. I've tried pentasa for inflammation to see if maybe that was the problem.
