I have Crohn's Disease. My Father has Guillain Barre Syndrome. Both are auto-immune diseases. Mine came from my mother's side, I am assuming, since her father had Crohn's, and her mother had colitis...
I have often wondered if it is auto immune related. I also have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which is also an auto-immune disease. My father has Guillain Barre Syndrome, the cronic one. He...
You might have Crohn's or Colitis, but you may also have something that has since manifested from the stress. I have Fibromyalgia as well as Crohn's. I am too healthy for Social security, and too...
December 12 was a Pediatric GI. He was the one who ordered the blood test. Mokey has another appointment with him February 18. We'll see what happens....
Thank you every one. I think it was Dec. 12 that I took him to a ped.GI. They took a blood sample. I was so mad! They never called back. I started calling them and leaving messages. Finally last...
I eat all of the time. I know I am slowly, and possibly faster than I think, killing myself with food, but I can not seem to stop. As a Crohnie, No reputable Dr. will do any sort of digestive...
I get this too. My GI told me he didn't have a clue what it could be, so it must be that I am "over weight" and my muscles are pulling on my left side. My Crohn's is in my ileum. I dismissed his...
Thank you for all of your suggestions. Right now we have Mokey on laxatives and Miralax every day until the GI can see him. Our FD told me to start that right away. I wish I had asked to see the...
I am worried about my six-year-old. He is REALLY backed up! This is his 3rd time, but his 2nd this bad, in about 1 1/2-2 years. Our Family Dr. is sending him to a Pediatric Gastro. on 12-9-08. FD...
I am so glad you are taking notes! As I said, It may help you remember how much it is helping if you have a bad day and it crosses your mind "IS this even working anymore?!" your notes will help you...
I have been asking for a hysterectomy for years. My family has a history of HUGE fibroid tumors(mother's sister(7 pound tumor) and mother), my mother died from breast cancer when she was 37 years...
Is your Dr maybe thinking of a tubal? Maybe she figures get two things done at once, but I think she should have helped ease your worries. I had a c-section, but I wasn't DX with Crohn's until after...
I was put on Zoloft in 1993 and had an adverse reaction to it. I became suicidal. I began wondering if the sweetness of antifreeze would cover the bleachyness of drano. I was afraid of MYSELF! I...
Thank you all for your insight to this theory. My father suffers from untreated depression. Just like everything else in his life, he just lives with it. No one told me my grandfather was suffering...
I was always a shaky child. I remember asking my dad one time if I inherited my shakyness from him. I was about 6 or so when I asked him. He said I might have. He told me not to worry about it...
Is there any evidence of a connection of Crohn's and Fibromyalgia? I have both. I am SO tired! I have a light case of crohn's, but instead of attacking me itself, it seems to be attacking me in the...
My Grandmother had UC and stomach cancer. She gave me some advise that I cherish now as a crohnie. She told me to keep a bottle of Malox in the fridge. She said it cools on the way down, as it starts...
I have been told that peppermint is good for the bowels, like in tea. I eat egg drop soup. It is basically chicken broth and an egg with minimal to no flavor spices. The key to get the egg to look...
If you like tea, I heard that peppermint tea was good for relaxing the intestines. I don't know if it is true or not though. Have you tried using splenda instead of sugar when you can? I have just...
If you work for the company I did, get FMLA AND a note from your doctor for EVERY time you miss work, even if you think it is just a strong stomach ache that has you puking, but you aren't sure if it...
I was told that I have a small canker in my ileum. I was given the impression that I have a slight case of crohn's disease. I have more other body pains aches and problems than in my ileum. I do get...
Huckleberrie, I don't know if ovarian cysts are related or not. I had huge problems with them in my early 20's. I saw pcps every month for over a year. I was only about 20 when I started going in for...
OK, Thank you everyone! I'll call my GI. I just didn't want to be over reacting to something if I don't need to. Thank You....
I think I may have a hemmie. I don't know. Can raw veggies do this to me? I have recently changed my diet since Jan 15. If you see my other postings, I said February 15 but I thought it was longer...
I was told that Crohn's can affect the entire digestive track, from lips to anus, so stomach problems are not out of the question. My grandmother had ulcerative colitis, but she died of stomach...
I think the guy is a little off....Ok way off. I didn't have the best relationship with my dad, but my Crohn's didn't show up until a year or so after Dad and I sat down with my sister and talked out...
I pray that she is ok and has a speedy recovery. Hugs to both of you....
I can't stop laughing....... Thank you!!...
My Gi said that "No self respecting surgen will do any sort of barriatric surgery on a Crohn's patient." I am almost 200 pound over weight. I am trying Curves. I am on the high protien diet. There is...
It seems to me that you aren't too far overweight. I, on the other hand am carrying one and a half extra people's weight on my body. I am morbidly obese. As of February 15, I started a high protien...
Yes. It lasts no less than 8 days now, and I get a slight diarrea with it. I also have more cramping and I am more weepy since I was diagnosed with Crohn's....
Ibuprophen has aprin in it. That is probably why it is recommended to stay away from it. Asprin has been known to irritate the stomach....
I know how you feel. I was fired in November for missing too much work. It was company policy to accept only so many Doctor's excuses. My son had been ill with a rash for 2 weeks along with me being...
Depression is a possibility, but you said you were on cymbalta, right? I thought that was an antidepressant. It might be a good idea for you to have your vitamins and minerals checked and to talk to...
I believe that God allows us to get sick so we learn to realize that with no God it could be worse. I am the second daughter of a breast cancer victim. Mom died in 1987. My sister was 17 and I was...
My last family doctor told me I ought to see a Psychiotrist because I kept coming in with pains in my left side at the bottom of my rib cage. My GI and my family Doc kept passing me back and forth...
