Diarrhea/colitis/yogurt/Corinne

Sue,

What if you hate yogurt??? Tracie I really hate it. I have tried

to gag it down, but just don't like it at all.

Colleen,

I found your case very interesting. My whole problem actually

started with diarrhea and I was admitted for it and they ran every

test known to man including an upper and lower endoscopy (no fun).

They said they were okay except for some IBS. However, when they

first put me on the high dose Prednisone my diarrhea got a lot

better. Now I am on just 15 mg of Prednisone a day which was a

change not that long ago and now I am wondering if there is more to

my diarrhea then they realize. Because I am not wicked skinny, they

tend to blow off my diarrhea I find. Some of my hormone studies are

out of whack too, but I was told I did not have an underactive

thyroid. My DHEA is very low, but they told me that was from my

Sjogren's. Wow, how many of these autoimmune diseases can you get

at once? It seems like I have too many already. I will give the

doctor a call tomorrow or today though to be safe. I am also going

to run and get my monthly labs done just in case anything will show

there. Hope they can get a vein. I have not heard of that kind of

colitis before, many others, but not that one and I worked for a

surgeon for years! Just goes to show you can never know it all and

can always learn something new.

Thanks so much for your info, it is really helpful. I will keep you

posted. Tracie

Corinne,

Thanks for the concern. Where have you been? I have tried emailing

you a couple of times, but without luck. I am not sure if you are

getting my emails or not. I have missed you and thanks for the

concern. It is always something isn't it? Good thing I don't have

a job or I would be in BIG TROUBLE. LOL Write me soon.

Tracie
