Stomach is burning...

This past week my stomach feels like its burning when i eat pretty much anything. Im on protonix. I think the prednisone is killing my stomach, i dont know if i should ask for a higher dose of protonix at my gi appt thurs... My remicade infusion is friday i dont know if that'll make a diff since my crohns is in my colon. Its incredibly uncomfortable and was wondering if anyone has this problem and what do they do to help it?

I've been on pain killers pretty much round the clock because my inflammation in my colon kills me if not.

The heating pad does work wonders too. It is my best friend to help with pain in my stomach and when I get kidney stones.

I'm hoping the remicade helps the burning although it makes my stomach burn during the infusion and for a few days after... I'm going to ask about that when I have my appt thurs. See if there's anything they can give to help prevent/lessen it. Especially getting double the dose this round for the first time..

Hmm I will have to ask about it Thursday. I make sure I eat with all my meds anymore to try and coat my stomach somewhat. If it's pudding, yogurt, pretzels, a meal I'll eat something. And no I'm not too worried about constipation. If being on pain meds for 2 1/2 months straight hasn't slowed things down... I doubt much will. Immodium when I would take it only slowed it down for a few hours.

I'm counting down until my next remicade infusion... 3 days. I hate thinking that the thing I'm most looking forward to next is getting an IV put in my arm to hopefully fix me. I wish it would work faster and I could get off the prednisone and pain medications.

The only day i could go sooner would be wednesday. I cant drive when i take painmedicine and i wouldnt have anyone to drive me tmrw if they could get me in. I wish everything was tomorrow...
