Pain Management Dr. Is recommending Lyrica. Does this drug effect MC?

Sorry it’s Fiber Fueled

Has anyone read this book or tried the 4 week diet? How did you do?

Wow somehow I thought I read melon was ok. I eat a ton of it! I will stop and also stop the gf bread. Thank you so much Tex

I just turned 60 I don’t want to stay on Budesonide permanently. I eat only safe foods (chicken, rice, potatoes, canned green beans, canned Carrots, gluten free bread, tuna, banana and melon. Only snack is rice cakes. I tried a few different gf breads in case that was the problem, no difference) I h...

I’ve been on stage one diet and taking Budesonide for 3 months. Even eating a limited diet I’ve gained 7 pounds and I’m already overweight. I tried to taper to 6 mg Budesonide and within 2 days D was back GI says I may need to stay on 9mg permanently. I don’t know what to do.

Thank you so much! Please ignore my same question else where I am not very good at navigating the forum

How much vitamin D and Magnesium should you take?

I was diagnosed with LC in April and have been on Budesonide since. I quit all NSAIDS as I’m sure they contributed to LC. I was doing ok but I have arthritis and a herniated disc in my back. Am also fused due to prior back surgery and have degenerative disc disease. Over the last few days something ...

Thanks Tex. My BMs prior to MC were formed and only a couple times a day so I must not be in remission. I will stay on stage one until I go off the Budesonide which my GI is saying should take 3-4 months.

I have had success recently and although by no means normal by BM is not D and I am only going a few times a day. My question is do I start introducing new foods while on t...

Erica I’m only 3 months in with this condition so no I haven’t been healing long. So I guess the constant rumbling and burbling is normal then? And the gas and flatulence? I’m following phase 1 of Tex’s diet recommendations. I’m taking the Budesonide and hoping I don’t start having some of the horri...

So I shouldn’t eat potatoes or white rice either? Those are the only others I eat. I’m so frustrated my GI tells me I’m limiting my diet too much! He wants me to add some fiber to bulk my stool. I’m terrified of that even on Budesonide I still get D every couple of days. I am also very fearful of st...

My gut burbles and gurgles constantly and I have gas daily. . I do eat gluten free bread but not daily. The only other carbs I eat are potatoes and white rice. Any suggestions?

I saw my new GI Dr yesterday and he told me I would need to continue with the Budesonide for 3-4 months and then taper slowly. He agreed with my diet (I’m following the stage one eating plan) but said I needed to add a little fiber to it. I’m terrified as even with the Budesonide and diet I still ge...
