I’ve had a TI stricture and infliximab actually healed it.
I’ve had a TI stricture and infliximab actually healed it.Had a routine MRI earlier this year. Had a letter last week telling me I have a Fibrotic Stricture near Terminal Ilium, and if I get pain after eating, I should consider a low residue diet. Anyone had imminent issues after having a similar MRI result?
On the plus side, the SC Infliximab is working really well, 3 jabs in and no degradation of how it works for me
I have UC and always have positive FIT test when flaring. It shows blood in poo. Do you have IBD or you showing symptoms? Did they do a calprotectin test too? I know it's easy to say but try not to stress too much there are many reasons why it could be positive.Has anyone had a positive fit test as I am freaking out
I didn't realise that a Fibrotic structure could heal up like that. Good to know!I’ve had a TI stricture and infliximab actually healed it.
I don’t have an ibd diagnosis as yet, I’m waiting on a gastro appointment have been for 3 years I do have psoriatic arthritis and crohns and colitis run in that family. I have been having on and off bad sulphur burps, wind constipation but also a felling of not having completed when going to the looI have UC and always have positive FIT test when flaring. It shows blood in poo. Do you have IBD or you showing symptoms? Did they do a calprotectin test too? I know it's easy to say but try not to stress too much there are many reasons why it could be positive.
It's all about getting away from thr GP, they are clueless!I had to go to a and e after collapsing in pain and I'd lost so much blood I was anaemic. Done a scope and had total uc of the large bowel. The GP kept saying it was piles. My calprotectin was over 8000. I wish I'd gone sooner.
MotherDragName has diverticular disease. She rarely if ever flares but she got a top tip from someone to drink diet ginger ale if she had a flare. She was rather specifically told to use the Tesco one but I don’t know how much of a deal breaker that part is. I have no idea how helpful or unhelpful this is but I figured I would share and you have no obligation to try it!I think I’m having a Diverticular flare up as my upper left abdomen is sore again (probably acid too which was suspected when I originally got diagnosed). It feels like so long ago since I had one so I’m racking my brains as to what has caused it. The only real change I can think of is I could just be flaring with tomato again, or it’s pineapple. So odd cause I’m usually fine with it. The worst thing is I always get zero advice from my doctor and I’ll just be told to go nil by mouth baring water for up to 72hrs. Absolutely no good to anyone.
I've not, but it sounds like it's a last resort kinda medication. I hope you get well soon!Has anyone been prescribed upadacitinib?
Infixamab isn't working. The vedo failed. Upa or storma is my choice.
The side effects are extensive.
On another note I'm so fed up of people telling me what to eat and saying it's my fault. Stupid netflix program.
If you're not showing inflamation then get them to test for Bile Malabsorbtion, really similar symptoms to IBDs and IBSHey guys, didn’t realise this chat was here. I was diagnosed with IBS 10 years ago, but over the last few months I can’t eat a thing without getting horrific diarrhea(sorry) I even couldn’t control messing myself like a newborn. Has anyone’s gotten this bad over time? Or could it be something different? I’ve a second opinion GP appointment coming up because my other one got bloods done and it’s showing over the panic limits for GGT (liver I think) and typical - she said it’s fine, while I’m over here struggling and suffering with the symptoms. Is this normal for bowel problems over time? Thought someone on here might have an idea or dealt with this, while I wait for my GP appointment.
