Chris I read an interesting article about an ib/colitis study done in Canada
digression many years ago I was put on a mild tranc for spasiming gut.
It got me out of the house. Older Dr. several years later said this dose is too small to help with stress and would not renew it even though I said it helped.
Spasms returned cause I am female and female means hysterical and hypocondriac
The study has shown a mild tranc does help with colitis/ ib.
I am crap (pun intended) with computers but will try and cut and past the article in a pm on brindle or if you want to email me I can probably do it easier through my shaw
I do not do meds but ironically when I was given Vioxx for arthitus it cleared up my female IB
The arthritus site ( forgot which one) states that colitis/ib cann be result of inflamation from arthritus.
When inflammed you are constipated.
On a good arthritus day the intestines are normal sized and you have diahrea
Now I take Tylonol arthritus when the backpain starts indicating swelling in the intestines.
For worse times I have novo-naprox a prescription med.
Anyhow after years a testing and being home bound for 20 years the arthritus meds have helped.
Could you and Deb give each other a hug for me. I am so upset at the bad situation this winter you both have been in.
