hi there,
I have been treated for Ulcerative Colitis for about 5 years now. Although I believe my doctor has been overly cautious as I dont believe I had ulcerative colitis but rather a reaction to some of the fat burning suppliments I was taking. Nevertheless, I have been on imuran for the last 5 years and have undergone various colonoscopies which showed initial ulceration and then no ulceration at all. The doc also check for Chrones disease.
He also stated that by next year, he will take me off the imuran. I have however decided to stop on my own. I have been off it for 2 months now with no flare ups. However, I have been supplimenting with rHGH (3ius a day). Recently, I have been getting stomach cramps and a bit of diaherria. Im not sure weather its the rHGH or the fact that I have been off imuran.
