What Now

[Anniemouse]

Hi

Seems ages since i have posted on here. Things were going great, calprotectin levels down to 45 ... first time in twenty years . Having Vendolizimab infusions , again going great Yet Still suffering from urgency and diarrhea , probably due to having no gall-bladder, so now prescribed Questron but Now i have real problems with constipation, causing sever pain and bleeding from internal and external piles ........

Is there No end to this .... ! feeling sorry for myself and just wondered if anybody else is having similar issues .

Stop taking the Questran, I was prescribed it to stop diarrhoea by a consultant when I was in hospital. it slowed me up a lot but I had nausea and vomiting so only tolerated it for a few days. When I saw my own consultant she told me that Questron will cause constipation and constipation can cause you to go into a flare up. There must be something else you can take x
