Does any one know if calcium supplements affect ulcerative colitis?

---

My husband is in another flare of his colitis the only thing we can think that he has changed is taking calcium supplements upon the doctors request. This is the second time he has tried this and the second time that it has flared. Despite attempts to find out from the doctor and the specialist as well as the pharmacist we are being told this could not be the cause. Has any one else had this problem or reaction to taking calcium?
I doubt the calcium supplement would send him into a flare. I think it's coincidental, although can not be 100% on that statement.

As all people with UC, we should always be on supplements...the most popular being iron and calcium. Calcium especially if you're on steroids past or present. Who knows though...they could make him flare for some reason. He's not mixing the calcium with OJ or iron...or something else that would upset his tummy?

I highly recommend that you check out this forum called Healing Well. It's a place for all us UC sufferers (and their families) to go a ask questions/vent. You can just spy--you don't have to join and talk. You can search through the database of old questions too.

I was just thinking it would be a useful tool and that you could ask your question there. You'd have many more answers than on here AND possibly something more helpful.

I'll post the link below.
Good luck. And maybe we'll run into each other (although I'm more of a lurker than a talker) =)  (+ info)

my ulcerative colitis is flaring up and i am getting a cold?

---

if anyone has any tips or natural remedies on making feel better i want to feel better for new years eve.
I've cured my own colitis by radically changing my diet.

I suffered from gradually worsening colitis symptoms for years. I finally got diagnosed over two years ago, and my doctor told me that I would have to go on pills.

I refused, and continued to suffer for some time until I found an interesting books that stated that it was diet that causes colitis, which a doctor will tell you is untrue.

I decided to give a raw food diet a try, and within a few weeks all my my symptoms were gone. It was a very specific raw food diet, however.

I've written about what I did here:http://www.raw-food-health.net/ColitisCu...

You won't find any relief from a doctor or their pills. Clean up your diet, and over the long run, you'll get rid of your colitis permanently.  (+ info)

My sister has ulcerative colitis and cannot afford medication, now she is in extreme pain?

---

does anyone knows about cheap medication use to treat ulcerative colitis, she is only 19 years old, iulcerative colitis medication I'm so worried about her and she doesn't do anything to help herself.
Nowadays, most pharmaceutical companies offer help to people who can't afford their medications. Your sister will need her doctor's help to set this up, however, because the doctor will need to fax copies of the prescription and such to whoever gives the assistance. Call her doctor and talk to the nurse about prescription assistance. You'll need proof of income for your sister, and since she is over 18, she'll have to be willing to do this or there's really nothing you can do. Maybe if you made some calls for her and got some information, she'd be more willing to jump in and help herself. Hope I was able to help - good luck to you both.

P.S. - You're a good sister to worry about her - she's lucky to have you! :)  (+ info)

My son was diagnosis with Crohn's disease over 2 years ago. the doctor wanted to put him on Humira (after experimenting with several other drugs) which is anexpensive drug with life threating serious side affects. We did some research and wanted to take a new approach to combat His problem. This is what we found out. The liver is producing too much bile that is toxic to the digestive tract. The types of foods you need to eat are those that DO NOT create excessive acid or bile that help in digestion (simply put). The bile is normal unless it is in large quanity or toxic, the acid attacks the food as well as intestinal linings of your stomach
Your body is high in toxins that you need to remove and stop feeding into the problem by the foods you consume and an overactive liver.

1.) "Foods to eat" : water purified, fish, eggs, potatoes,rice, white bread,meat ground up fine or chewed well, skinless chicken cut fine, tortillas, broth, noodles plain with a little butter, plain yogurt with no extra ingredients, rice milk(rice dreams-Walmart) cherrios rice crispies or chex, and 'most important' 5x/day at each meal and as a snack, legume's black beans, kidney, pinto, buttered,refried, with no lard or spices except salt to start. Goats milk(found in a can) Sunshine and D'3, Iron supplements(in moderation)
if you are anemic.
2.) "Foods to avoid!": dairy!,milk (hard to digest a cow use 4 stomachs!) chips!,processed foods of any kind, soda ,msg,sugar,corn, corn syrup,corn sweeteners,wheat products,sweeteners of any kind, coffee, teas, cottage cheese,sauces, read the back labels (you are going to be surprised) for added ingredients any thing thats added, adds to your body's toxic level. NO artificial sweeteners. foods that produce too much acid to break down the foods you eat. No alcohol of any kind NO Tabacco.
3.) 'Foods to eat': in moderation after you stop bleeding and start gaining weight or are having no discomfort : fruits,salads,steak,venison, peanut butter or almond butter,oatmeal, A multi-vitamin with minerals with 100% RDA (not large dose's of any multi. and 2x daily ,use shaklee as the bench mark for comparison ) of all of the B's, hard cheese, soy milk,well cooked vegetables" Psyillium powder".
The beans are a water soluble fiber that absorb bile and remove the toxins in your body,then the liver will produce more bile but less toxic(simplified for lack of space).
This is not an all inclusive list and your Doctor will disagree with the elimination of drugs, all removal of drugs should be done slowly if you decide to stop taking them, but they will add to your body's toxic level as you continue take them. which will make your Crohn's worse and make you susceptible to other more serious disease's. I am not a specialist in any field or giving medical advice. I also hired KarenHurd.com at a fraction of the cost to teach my son to diet properly but you can go to her web site and get free information, but I recommend you pay her for a short time to get you healthy and on a routine faster. Stress will make it worst so exercise and relax. Most importantly Faith, Hope, and Prayer, you will get better. God is faithful what ever the results. E-mail me if you have any questions and I can help. I don't know if you have crohn's but changing your diet could help you and most of us in America because of the poor nutrition we unknowingly subject ourselves too.  (+ info)

Can a person gain weight with ulcerative colitis?

---

If your colitis is in remission can you gain weight and have a hard time loosing it?
Are you on medication for your UC? Sometimes the medication we take to control our UC, and remain in remission, an also make us gain weight. That bing sad I have ony ever gaind weight on prednisone. None of the other UC meds I have taken have had that effect.

Also, maybe you are gaining weight because your UC flare-ups were causing you to lose it? When you are having a bad flare, your body can't absorb nutrients and whatever you eat goes right through you. SO.. when you get into remission and your body can finally absorb what you eat - well then you gain weight. Having trouble losing it - I'm not sure about that. Talk to your doctor/specialist/dietician.   (+ info)

Is ulcerative colitis link with depression?

---

I want to know if depression can make ulcerative colitis symptoms worse or cause the person to get out of remission of this terrible disease?
Anything that causes pain can cause depression. If your hurting physically your going to feel depressed. Now if your depressed and having anxiety, then it can cause the acid in your stomach to build up and thus give you an ulcer. My best friend is suffering from a bleeding ulcer, and her's flares up whenever she gets upset. She usually ends up throwing up. She also suffers from depression.  (+ info)
