Checking in before I lose sight of the thread. I have been busy and so has this thread :bigsmile: here's a pic of my new grandson born 04/17/2013 9lbs 4ozs and 20.5 inches long. He's my 7th grandchild, 5 boys 2 girls Wish you all a Fabulous Friday! Life is GOOD!

bump...

I hope I never take Prednisone again. I haven't taken it for UC but for a totally different condition about 15 years ago. Long term use it is not. As for the weight loss; did your doctor check your Vit D level? Mine was very low and my doc said it has an impact on weight loss...just sayin'.

Your question can probably be better answered on this site: http://www.ccfa.org/ I was reading earlier about various connections on other illnesses or autoimmune diseases associated with UC. Your doctor should be able to provide an answer too.

Here's a website where you can find all kinds of helpful information; unfortunately it affects people differently. What was okay yesterday may not be today. There are certain foods known to be common triggers. You will need to pay attention to your own body. I bought a book on digestive conditions that has some information…

Stress is a big trigger. Although I don't think there is a one fits all diet like say for diabetes certain foods are known to be triggers especially those that cause a natural gas like broccoli and cauliflower or beans - I have found a small amount of these items mixed in with other food items reduces the risk of a trigger…

Good Afternoon! It's a beautiful day in Dallas - no foolin' (bump)

GOOD Morning Ladeis! or at least it is for about another hour in my time zone :smile: I slept really well - loooong! and I am feeling so refreshed. My hubby is in a good mood himself. He's gone to grab us some lunch. He's on vacation so I say "if he's on vacation I'm on vacation!". It's been kind of crazy hectic the last 3…

Seasonal flares; that's interesting. The only thing I can count on is that stress triggers...

technology! drives me crazy sometimes :bigsmile:

Express yourself... It's Friday but Sunday's Coming!

It's been a busy month chasing houses but I wanted to pop in and wish everyone a blessed day this St. Paddy. May your troubles be few and your blessings overflow. :smile:

Friday, I ♥ Fridays and I don't even get a paycheck on them anymore :laugh: but all the same I do like them. Last weekend was the baby shower for my soon-to-be #7 grandchild - Kashton. My DIL friend made her this cute trike riding bear... Life has been busy here in Plano and from the looks of this thread March is going to…

:bigsmile: such a cool idea for a generational photo!

Valentine's Day and I walked a mile or 3697 steps! :bigsmile: Wishing y'all a Happy Valentine's Day too.

Happy :heart: Day! stopping in to say hello - I am on my way to the rec center today; I feel like walking and have decided it is time to get back with the program of exercise:bigsmile:

♥ all the new posts and new members! Lingering sore throat keeping me down again today. Logged my diary and stopped in to read posts. I did watch TV ALL evening and will probably do the same tonight. I'd do it now except I have a few things on my plate to finish up. Here's to all the ladies and 1 guy - have a glorious…

What a Monday! Up early yet I still didn't the "worm" meaning that I missed out on a possible deal. That and still struggling with my cold has put a damper on this day. I am ready to call it quits and sit in front of the tv with my blankie :grumble: @jane I like new computers but the learning curve is growing with my age…

Accomplished: Sunday, 2/3 1 apple, large for breakfast (equivalent to a snack) BLT Salad for lunch w/o dressing, croutons or cheese :bigsmile:

sweet! and such a pretty face :smile:

I'm in for the 1 day 10,000 steps.

I can do a meal and a snack - that's about all the fresh veggies I have on-hand :smile:
