I'm from Minnesota too, have been to the Mayo, and am also curious about this "Smart Pill". If you post more info. sometime that would be great....
From what I know (LOL)....If you get an abcess, fistula, or obstruction (blockage), and you would probably have moderate to severe Crohn's at that time, I BELIEVE those are the "Norms" for...
Well, with a mixture of Crohn's, medications, and heat...there's reason for concern. Like everyone said, hopefully it's dehydration. Take care......
Good Luck with the surgery and smoking program. I also smoke, and can only imagine.......
That just bites!! Those people in management don't seem to understand that this disease (or any for that matter), could happen to them or someone they love /community/emoticons/shocked.gif ..then...
Well you're not alone. I've been taking Prednisone now for 8 weeks. I can't sleep either. If I take it in the morning it seems to make me more anxious ( and I've been anxious and depressed, because...
I'm surprised that with Crohn's disease you got anything but a strict liquid diet. Juice, coffee , jello, water, and broth. That's been my experience. Only clear liquids and nothing but, when they...
Randy, That's right, it does HAVE to !!! Keep that in mind always..... Take Care...
Hi, I just have a weird kind of question. Does anyone know what doctors (or medical references) mean when they talk about a "papable abdominal mass"??? I'm trying to figure out if that means, a...
I know what you mean about being frustrated with them only listing one symptom. I've had that happen to me 2 times now. I'ts craziness when you have multipule symptoms and they list only one...after...
Randy, I've been going thru about the same ( from whar I read) as you for 21 days now. First day Docs did a CT scan. Found nothing but inflamation. Went home and 2 days later had a colonoscopy. Same...
I understand at least some of what you are going thru. This is my third time being on Pred. I have now been on it for 6 weeks. The first 4 weeks were at 40 mg. Then I complained to my GI Doc. that I...
I agree, get a new GI doc. Suggestions: Could you get a second opinion? Could you get a referral to, like the Mayo?...
The only thing that has helped me gain weight is Prednisone, and that's not what you are looking for it sounds like. Good Luck on finding something that works for you. Someone on here will probably...
IVY6, I don't know if they checked potassium levels....they have taken so much blood for all knids of tests in the last few days, that I would assume they would have checked potassium. I never asked...
Info my GI told me was that if there is more than 2 tablespoons of blood, then it's time to contact them.... I hope your ok.......
I never tried the drink, but did try the yogurt and though it was bitter tasting so never tried more than a few. If it has helped anyone though I would like to know. I would gladly put up with bitter...
I know there are tons of posts on the subject of remicade. My GI and family practioner both think I should be on it. I'm supposed to start it tomorrow. It makes me nervous to say the least. I've read...
Ok, Thanks for the warning on this. I was just started a prescription of Ciprofloxacin (500MG Tabs, at 2 tabs Daily) along with everyones FAV. Perdnisone (40 MG daily for one week, with no tappering,...
I only tried immodium back when I was doing REALLY bad. So, maybe I should give it a shot. Thanks!!...
Hi All, I'm looking for input. I've been flaring lately but still trying to travel in my car (30+ miles one way) for different reasons (with work being one). Anyways, what do you all do when you HAVE...
I have Moderate C, and alot of the time have all your symptoms listed, except the blood. When I've went thru this, I just keep telling myself that it's just a matter of time till it resides. For me...
