| I too am finding this message board comforting-in reply to your email-as far as safe meds, you doctor should know-I was pregant for 5 months and lost my baby at the 22nd week, but they don't think that it was due to the UC..I was and am on sulfazalazine and prednisone-both are safe to take with the pregnancy and breastfeeding..I have had UC for 3 years, but have never had bleeding (bleeding is very common) and so they did many tests to be sure I really had it-I have never been in remission except for right after losing my baby for about 3 weeks (I also think hormones play a big part!) As far as advice-I think a mixture of alternative medicine and western medicine is the best-the single best thing that has helped me is metamucil-the regular texture only-not smooth (orange flavor-the plain is really gross) I take 3 tablespoons every morning with water and drink chug it before it gets too thick :), but it has really helped with the consitency-if I don't take it, I really notice it a lot more watery..I have an excellent Dr. at Stanford and trust him a lot-I also had a bad Dr. at first that was not good (he didn't know how to perscribe meds)-so that is my second piece of advice-get a good Dr. if your syptoms don't get better within a few months-get a second opinion....good luck to everyone-I will pray for you all-we are now trying to get pregnant again-we hope soon! |
