Hello Norman

Post by nerdhume »

I have been having issues really since August & ragweed. Usually 1-3 poops of varying consistency, but no normans.
About a month ago I started down the path to a full on flare, couldn't reach my GI, 12- 15 trips per day and 3-4 at night. I started taking Uceris daily about a week ago. Even after all the 'pigging out' I've done the last couple of days, all is well again.
I have an appointment Dec 9th so will just keep taking the Uceris until then and see what he says.

Hi Theresa,

IMO, the histamine problems caused by pollen allergies can make a big difference in our GI system, especially if they continue for an extended period.

I've noticed a significant improvement since the ragweed is gone. With an ileostomy, I always have D, of course, but it contains much more water during ragweed season, even though I didn't have to take an antihistamine this year, because the respiratory symptoms were always very minor. Now that the ragweed is gone, I have to be more careful about constipation. :shock:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
