i have had ulcerative colitis for the past 3.5 years is it normal to bleed when i have my bowels open?
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
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 nephew is suffering from Ulcerative colitis and hospitalised. 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).
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.
Hi all,
Ill try to keep it short and to the point, but I've had a horrible two months
August 10th I fell quite ill. I was at a festival so at first GP assumed food poisoning, my symptoms were diarrhea (which became bloody after a week), vomiting, sweats, weakness and fatigue. My GP did stool samples which showed nothing, but blood tests showed signs of infection so I was given Ciprofloxacin.
I couldn't eat at all for 10 days, and I lost 22lbs in just under 2 weeks.
My son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was eight years old. Now he is 12 years old he has been doing very well on pentasa. I worry because all the medicine he takes at such a young age. He is getting tired of taking so much medicine. I would like to know if anybody knows of a natural diet that works for ulcerative colitis?
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 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.
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.
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.
and the last question is about the relationship between Proctitis or Ulcerative Colitis and taking Isotretinoin (Accutane). do you believe that Isotretinoin (Accutane) cause Proctitis or Ulcerative Colitis ? since when I was young I used this medicine for my acne and I searched in the internet many have the same story with me - I mean using Isotretinoin (Accutane) and then Proctitis or Ulcerative Colitis. what is your idea ?
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?
6-MP is started if other medications do not help in the treatment of Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. So, ask your doctor whether some other medication can be used instead of this. The pros and cons of this medication need to be weighed against the pros and cons of having uncontrolled symptoms of Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

I have had ulcerative colitis and chronic migraines since the age of twelve, so 17 years now. Luckily my meds help with my uc. Migraines are always crappy in the beginning for me then ease up as I progress. When I had twins my first pregnancy we had preemies due to being twins and a flare. Last pregnancywas great, this one is okay so far. I have had quite a few miscarriages due to health issues.
Hi,
Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease . Ulcerative colitis is a form of colitis, a disease of the colon , that includes characteristic ulcers, or open sores. The main symptom of active disease is usually constant diarrhea mixed with blood, of gradual onset. IBD is often confused with irritable bowel syndrome , a troublesome, but much less serious, condition.
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.
I have my husband (age 24 yrs) with colitis infection just detected in December 2007 and now completely leading anormal life. Can i get infected with the Ulcerative colitis if we have unprotected sex ?
What is your diagnosis? Is this Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis?
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.
