I'd like to begin by thanking everyone on the boards. I can't begin to tell you how comforting it is knowing that the things I am feeling are soooo normal. The information and "food for thought" that...
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Just like you, I am very lucky....my CD became liveable with the help of some meds my body could tolerate. During that time of the month, I was still okay...
I can't even begin to imagine dealing with what you have too right now. Only our pleasant and safe thoughts are with you and your family. We can only hope that the forecasters are wrong...yet again....
Hi -- I was ok with a glass in moderation. But slowly, when I drank beer, I was in pain. Pain to the point, the drink was not worth it. Now I don't even look at the stuff. Then, it moved to haviing...
I am currently on pentsa, 6mp and entocort (cutting back). If there is anything I have learned, it is that CD is different for each person...even when it comes to a family member having it. I also...
Unfortunately, I know a 6 year old with CD. It is one thing when it is you but another to watch a child having to deal with it. My thoughts and well wishes are always here....

Thanks about the sun....I found out a little too late!...
Thank you everyone for the information. Well, about 6 days after being off the Cipro, the side started again and now so did everything else! Just when you think something is going to work...... No, I...
Gumby -- Thank you for your reply. I think that the noise is from the Crohn's, I am just not sure of the other. I am with you on not being able to tell what is what..That is where my Crohn's is...
Hello All...I don't what I did before I found this wonderful forum! Now for my question. After a baruim swallow, I started a flare with all of the gurggling, extra trips to the bathroom and a pain in...
Thank you everyone for all of the information. I too would like a "fall back" and do not want to over use it. I am very grateful that it work with little side effect. Again, I can't thank everyone...
It seems as though a barium swallow aggravated my Crohn's. There was lots of gurggling etc., I'm sure you all know the routine. My question is this....my doctor put me on Cipro for 10 days. A couple...
I would like to thank eveyone for posting and taking the time to read my post. At one time I stopped the meds because I was "fine". Well, it was the meds that kept me fine. Yes, I know I was in...
Thank you for your replys. I spoke with the Dr. and am now on entocort for to redue inflammation which she believes is there. I had an endo due to problems with my throat. Apparently that was caused...

I have a parent who has CD. I have never said that I wish they never had me though. I will be honest, like all of us I'm sure...I do say I wish I never had CD. I do pray that my children do not...

Mine are like yours as well, except the massive weight loss. I have larger than normal pants for when I am not feeling well because the bloating is very bad. Fortunately, I have more good than bad...
