Hi. I wanted to see if anyone else had similar symptoms and how you deal with this. Over the last 6-8 months I have had bouts where I feel as though the food I eat isn't being digested. I saw my...
Hi, Does anyone ever get backed up from crohns? To the point you feel like you stomach is just going to explode? How do you get relief? I have been eating fiber and drinking prune juice but just...
I can't imagine having this problem. I am sorry for everyone who weight issues because of crohn's. I am just most often used to hearing about people losing weight. A year ago I weight 190 and now...
I am just going to increase my fiber and hope that by moving things along I won't have this feeling and gurgling anymore. I will let everyone know how things go. I will continue to work with my diet...
Congratulations....I really mean that. I hope your 1 good day turns into 2, into 3, into 4....... Best of luck to you....
The barium went through pretty quick I think. I was out in under and hour and the doctor that saw me at the end said all looked well. I stay away from steak and ribs as I know my stomach doesn't like...
It scares me to think about having to have surgery. I would have thought the Small Bowel Series I had just 3 months ago would have showed this if there was an issue as I was having these same...
Hi Gail, As soon as my symptoms began 6 months ago I met up with my GI. He did a colonoscopy and an small bowel series. He told me both looked good with no inflamation and he didn't see any...
Thank you for the responses. It is always nice to know I am not alone. I think I will give adding some fiber a try for awhile and see what happens. It is just like when I am good, I am good and no...
Hi, For the last 6 months on and off for periods of 1 to 3 weeks at a time I keep getting these bouts of severe intestinal "gurgling" and irregular bowel movements. This has happened maybe 6 times in...
Does anyone else get this: Bubbling or gurgling in the lower stomach which leads to an occasioanl passing of gas sharp pains that last for a little bit then leave A feeling if you could just get...
Kittikat, I have a similar issue that is hard to deal with at times too. I am a 27 year old male who was diagnosed with crohn's diesease in 2001. I haven't had a lot of problems with the disease so...
Accutane was a drug that my dermatologist prescribed to me as ACNE treatment. I took it for 3 months and it dried my out like you wouldn't believe. My lips were so dry and chapped that they were...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else took Accutane before being diagnosed with Crohn's? I took Accutane when I was in high school between 11th and 12 grade. I was then diagnosed with crohn's disease 3...
I will go pick some of that up. I have been drinking chicken broth all day and water. I am starting to feel a bit better, but as you have stated, I am not getting any nutriution right now. I haven't...
Thanks for the replies. I am hoping that in maybe I will start feeling better. I have been drinking lots of fluid today and have only had a few crackers and a piece of bread. No fun, especially on...
Wow, that sums it up totally. I have been pretty open in telling people I have crohns, but have not avoided eating any foods or really paying attention to symtoms. I really didn't have any symtoms...
Hi Vicky, I am going to the bathroom, just not real well. I always feel like if I could just go really well, maybe I would start feeling better. So, I don't have any total obstructions at this point...
I was diagnosed 6 years ago with crohn's and have very little problems ever since. But, for the last 2 1/2 weeks, I have been having I have had cramping, bloating, a bubbling feeling, and unable to...
What does Prednizone do? Does anyone know. I have heard of people being put on that. As of right now, I just want this aching in my stomach to go away. I was thinking about drinking some pepto bismal...
Thank you both for the responses. I haven't experienced this stuff before since it was pretty mild to this point. I had a bout with this same thing about 2 months ago that lasted 1 week, then was...
I have had crohn's now for 6 years. I've had a very mild case, and admit that I have not taken my medication as I should. I am suppose to take Asacol (6 pills per day). Though, since my symptoms have...
I'm not sure of what the answer for opening your ears is. I had this same problem for over a month, it was really annoying. It just took a long time to get the muffled sound to go away. They still...
Wow, Thanks for the great reply. It is great to be able to read posts like your that have a lot of detail and thought. I try to write as much as I can too in hopes it will help others as well. I go...
Emily, Sounds like you are doing the right thing and hopefully the specialist can help you figure out what is going on. I was in the same boat. I had to request to see and ENT after seeing my doctor...
Sounds like we are having some similar problems. Though, my sore throat went away last week. I still feel a tightness in my neck/throat area though. I just saw my ENT last Monday and am going to have...
I tried a humidifier for a few nights but didn't stick with it. I will have to start using that again. I don't have any stuffed animals, but I did just throw my pillows away after (I am very sad to...
The ENT says I could have sinusitis as my nose has been stuffed up, which could be causing the ear pain and sore throat, that is why we are going to do the CT scan. My apartment is really dry and...
I was just at the dentist and everything looked great I was told. So I don't think it could be coming from my teeth. I am just scared that it is something more than allergies or from my sinuses. My...
Hi, Here is my story; does anyone have the same or similar problems? I am a 25 year old male who has smoked about 25 packs in my life. about 2 months ago I got what I think was a sinus infection....
