how can you get ibd if you don't even have ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease?

Question

Does IBS lead to ibd (crohn's or ulcerative colitis)?

Answer 1

IBD: Perhaps there is some confusion inflammatory bowel disease(ibd)refers specifically to ulcerative colitis and crohn's diseasr. If a person has been informed that he or she has ibd then the diagnosis is either ulcerative colitis or crohn's. Inflammation in the intestine caused by infection or other causes may mimic ibd & thus not be either ulcerative colitis or crohn's.

Answer 2

Yes: Virtually every antibiotic has the potential to cause a type of colitis called c. Difficile colitis. Antibiotics kill bacteria. Even as normal people we have thousands of different kinds of bacteria in our colons. When you take antibiotics, it kills some, which allows other types to thrive. When clostridium difficile thrives, it causes colitis. This can be life-threatening and require surgery.

Answer 3

Yes : Any antibiotic can cause an infection called c. Dificile which causes extreme diarrhea and colitis. Keflex is not a common cause of c dificile infections though.

Answer 4

No, unless preCA: Ileostomy is treatment for either ulcerative colitis that is resistant to medical rx, or if the colon needs to be removed for cancerous or pre=cancerous (dysplasia) changes. Otherwise, keep your colon.

Answer 5

No: If your uc is under control with medicine you don't need any operation. A continent ileostomy is reserved for patients who have already had a total proctcolectomy and want an ileosomy that can be controlled. It is not done as the first operative procedure except in rare circumstances. Did i understand the question?

Answer 6

Ulcerative colitis: Ulcerative colitis/proctitis is not contagious. It caused by immune system acting against colon mucosa.

Answer 7

Ulcerative colitis: Is not. However proctitis or colitis caused by bacteria especially clostridia difficile can be very contagious as can other forms of infectious colitis. Use good hand hygiene and be sure to not contact stool or underclothes and get a correct diagnosis and treatment.

Answer 8

Probably not: Oxycodone is effective for pain control and slowing down intestinal motility which can b rapid in crohn's.

Answer 9

Not Likely: More likely is poor nutritional absorption and the possibilities for this are numerous..Unless you're taking such a large narcotic dose that your appetite is diminished.

Answer 10

MRSA: M-R-S-A: It means methycillin-resistant staph aureus, and the best med will be known for sure after the wound culture, grown from the q-tip they swabbed thru the open wound before they bandaged the foot ulcer; till then, they will treat you with the antibiotics that typically are the best choice for your part of the world, and then add them or change them if needed.

Answer 11

Depends on a lot: How deep or "bad is the infection plays a definate role in a choice. Intravenous vancomycin has always been the choice for significant mrsa(referring to what you wrote: merca) infection. There are oral medications as well that could be adequate in lesser infections. Sometimes the culture and sensativity report will indication sensitivity to these particular antibiotics. It depends on how bad it is.

Answer 12

You must realize : That while antibiotics play an integral role there are other factors that are equally important i.E off-loading the ulcer, proper wound care, controlling any other comorbitities. There are different types of MRSA hospital and community acquired. This may play a role. There are oral vs. I.V. Medications. Oral agents include doxycycline, bactrim, (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) Clindamycin and zyvoxx. I.V. Is generally vancomycin.

Answer 13

MRSA: I assume you are referring to MRSA a staph infection that does not respond to most antibiotics. You may need an IV antibiotic like vancomycin. You also need to have the wound examined. cleaned, debrided. Don't let this go this is important to treat.
