also not to be gross, but does your anus ever itch with Crohn's? Mine does sometimes. I know that can be a symptom of parasite infection....
My dr still isn't sure if I have Crohn's or not. I'm getting some parasite tests later this week or next week. I've been having symptoms for 4 months now. I'll feel fine for a few days, have an...
Thanks everyone :)...
I actually stopped taking probiotics (Kefir) and noticed that I started feeling noticeably *better* a few days after stopping. I have been off of it for > 3 weeks now. I thought that was insanely odd....
I'm not sure which forum to post this in, but everyone here was really cool to me a few months ago so I figured I'd post it here. My gastroenterologist put me on a 10 day course of Xifaxan, 200mg 3x...
My doctor called me and left a voicemail with the following results: Prometheus blood test = neg for Crohn's and UC Small Bowel Follow Through = unremarkable He told me to call the office if I was...
Or is there really no correlation between when you first discover you have it and prognosis? If you catch a flareup early is it easier to get it back into remission than if it's been going on for...
I haven't had a fever yet, but in the last month, every *major* bout of diarrhea I've had has been preceded by 5-10 minutes of chills. And then I'll be on the toilet literally shivering. And then the...
MoviPrep tastes like salty Lemonheads candy. It's not the grossest thing in the world. I only drank one liter of it instead of both, and I was fine. But the reason was a) I was super nauseous and it...

It's just bodybuilder poop. 5,000 calories a day + fast metabolism = all that food has to come out. I did just look up toxic megacolon and I didn't have any of those symptoms....
So it's 1" in diameter but still relatively cylindrical? Like a hot dog right?...
I had a hydrocele when I was born. I'm told they thought it was a hernia, but it was a hydrocele instead. Not sure how easy it is to mess those two up. I'm told I had surgery to correct it. This is...
(this is a pretty descriptive thread so don't read it if you don't like talking about poop :D ) I heard someone else call it "play-doh poop." I understand this comes from intestinal inflammation (a...
I was given a large (32 or maybe 48oz?) cup of "water" to drink. It's like the same size as the largest size drink you can get at a movie theater. It had something mixed in it and just tasted like...
How do you not atrophy into nothingness eating a vegan (no protein) diet? Every vegan I've ever known has looked like a skeleton....
I'm scheduled for small bowel follow through xray on Wednesday. The thigh pain radiates from my abdominal pain. Sometimes the abdominal pain moves around, into my back, or my hip bone, or around my...
I don't burp very often. My nausea doesn't necessarily come after I eat. It comes randomly on random days and doesn't seem to be related to whether or not I eat. I have been passing a lot of gas...
>It's very typical for people with CD to have exactly this part inflammated. Yeah, that's why I'm worried. >Have you done that test where they give you this white liquid and you >drink it and then...
In searching the net it seems that there are a lot of "alternative" theories on Crohn's. How liberal is this forum? I have seen some forums where people are completely anti-traditional-medicine and...
Why does the pain extend into my upper right thigh sometimes? Is that just referred pain since abdominal pain is relatively non-specific?...
I just checked my CT scan results, it said "the gall bladder was within normal limits."...
As for my gall bladder, I'm not sure; is that something that would have been checked on the CT scan? I actually just found my notes from my doctor's voicemail. Here is what he said: - Overall,...
Oh yeah I forgot to mention, the doctor said after the SBFT it would be the camera pill. I also had my thryroid checked 6 weeks ago and it was normal. I'm just worried cuz it sounds like all the...
Here's my story: I just turned 28. about 4-5 months ago I started experiencing some random nausea which was leading to weight loss. Now, I have a very fast metabolism, and I am (was) also a...
