TEMarie- I'm 22 but feel like I'm 60 after all this. I am going to do what it takes to spend my 20's developing myself without IBD-like limitaitons.
Just wanted to say about the antibiotics: I stopped the course a half-day early... I started noticing my tongue had a foul taste all day and I was getting other symptoms of thrush. I don't think I'm going to touch cipro/flagyl again... I've used it too much. Taking two sachets of double strength VSL#3 daily after that.
