An indicator in the blood could guide lupus treatment
A clinical trial (called “BEAT-Lupus”) has found that using a combination of two biologic treatments, rituximab and belimumab, may be more effective than using rituximab alone in patients who have not responded well to other treatment. They also found that people with a particular indicator in their

How to take octasa?
Hi, I'm newly diagnosed with "indeterminate colitis". Just been prescribed octasa 800 X 3 per day. Any thoughts on whether to take as 3 separate doses or all in one go would be welcome. Thank you.

Gastroentrology appointment
Hi Is it normal to get a gastroentrology appointment a few weeks after my colonoscopy procedure? I was told I had ulcerative colitis and had several biopsy’s taken now I am worried they have found something else. Any reassuring advice would be appreciated.

Quinidine Sulphate
About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome and had a de-fib fitted as well as prescibed Quinidine and Bisoloprol which I have taken ever since. 4 years ago my de-fib activated so my Consultant increased the levles of Quinidine. However I am told by my Consultant & Pharmacy that they cannot

Mesalazine…or not?
Hello, new on here. Lifelong IBS but colonoscopy in 2020 showed mild IBD. Haven’t needed any medication yet. My specialist has suggested I start taking Mesalazine but I’m worried.

Microscopic colitis
I was diagnosed with microscopic
colitis
, both lymphocytic and
collagenous
, (there are only two types) which my consultant told me was “interesting” since in his fifteen odd years as a gastroenterologist was the first time he had come across it. The vast majority have only one type.

Calprotectin level 1500
Have been prescribed Prednisolone tablets, Octasa tablets and Ad-Cal. Shocked at how many I have to take every day, on top of the meds I already take.

Ureterolysis

As well as adhesiolysis and excision of endometriosis (in various forms, e.g., helium plasma coagulation and left sidewall resection), I saw this: [i]Ureterolysis with freeing of ureter for retroperitoneal

Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
My GP prescribed me Pentasa for my Ulcerative Colitis. I took this for approx 10 years. My GP never requested any blood tests in this time. This medication was slowly killing off my kidney function. In 2017 I was admitted to hospital with a 9% kidney function. I stopped Pentasa and my kidneys improved

Loperamide or Budenoside
I have just been diagnosed with
collagenous
colitis
and have a telephone appointment next week. From my research budenoside is a recommended treatment but my GP said it’s usually loperamide which is the same as Imodium. I’ve been using Imodium but as soon as it wears off the diarrhoea returns.
