On my last taper (begining of the summer) I exercised like normal for the first 3 weeks. My work outs were so much more productive since the prednisone boosted my energy. Life got busy around week 4...
Veggies bother me more than fruit....my biggest no no is corn on the cob. Regular frozen corn doesnt hit me to bad but if I eat it off the cob I am in trouble! LOL Oh and onions....big no no on...
Lancelot, you are exactly right.....it does sound like a bath tub being drained!!!!!!...
Thank you all for the info. I do have side effects from the prednisone but I feel willing to deal with them to keep me from going on 6MP....I know that is crazy! I am coming to realize that the...
Thanks Kasper. I was afraid entocort was the answer. I was put on it by my old Dr but my new Dr says that for me to be on it was like shooting bee bee's at a bear. She said that my Chron's is...
Shortly after I was Diagnosed with Crohn's I noticed the rumbling. My rumblings would literally keep me awake at night...it was so freaking loud! I dont notice it quite as often now that I am on meds...

LOL.....Thanks for the input. I have been juicing some fruits and veggie and have been doing pretty good for the most part. I have heard that a lot of people like the raw diet but wasnt sure about it...

I am newly diagnosed with Crohns but am fairly certain I had it while I was pregnant with my daughter (2006). The worst part for me was the 3rd trimester. I pretty much had to live off of gatorade...
In my experience childbirth was way worse. My colonosopy showed that I was almost completely blocked and bleeding and my symptoms were pretty mild. The Dr even commented on my pain tolerance. I dont...
My mom got me a "bed buddy" a couple of weeks ago and it was like heaven on my last period. It is one of those fabric sock like things filled with little bean/rice things that you heat in the...
Thank you for posting this! I was wondering the same thing!!!!!!...
CONGRATS to you!!!!!!!!!!!! I am jsut now being diagnosed but suspect I have had this for several years now that I look back. If I am correct on when this started (going by symptoms only) then I had...
Hello everyone. I had my colonoscopy yesterday. The procedure went rather well, didnt fall asleep like everyone told me I would do but I certainly wasnt in any discomfort. I ended up having one...
