to whom is the advice being given. from us to you to him. from us to you for you. from us to you for him. If he doesnt get scoped the doctor doesnt know the extent of disease (to a point see...
the mechanisms of these antibiotic types of drugs are not really entirely known. If you start a bit simpler, such as with neomycin (such as from well known OTC neosporin having neomycin) and it...
no. the cost was simply too high to pay. 1000 a month is practically a house payment. its simply ridiculous. the affordability as a result of crohns is a yes, but indirectly, since intermitent job...
the overall concept is not really agreed to. but generally if you are O type you do better with protein. Ok well whether or not thats true, lets say I believe in the relationship of antigens in...
..."with no success"...with no success of what? you primarily indicate D. so perhaps just ask for a med for that. docs find inflammation the paramount thing to alleviate in crohns. If you want...
is believe that planters warts are from papillomavirus and there amazingly is no cure for this virus hence no cure for planters warts. I am planning on getting a biopsy on a wart from a dermatologist...
possible narrowing. stress in job and probably not eating. advice: designate the job or do a different job, relax more on the job ...i doubt productivity is measured by your communication but if so...
just an added note that honey itself has potential for being an antimicrobial (as you never see ants eating all the honey do you) lol. so use honey for sweetener :) if you tolerate it of course....
i would agree with the benefit from increased circulation and would place it in the realm of having a dilator type medicine to send blood to a strictured area. in theory....
Fissure is a tear in the surface of the opening area kinda like a scratch. is typical for when you strain and enlarge the anus with hard stool or, particular to crohns is also attributable to...
placement is actually above the beltline. it should not be too low, rather peristalsis works "uphill" internally (so the last part of the bowel will be internally situated to loop up to the stoma...
possibly. something to discuss with doctor asap. in my opinion you probably need surgery. not necessarily an illeostomy. perhaps removal of the fistula origin, resection of the bowel at the origin,...
oh yea..if your looking for someone to attest that going off all meds will be diasterous i can certainly attest to that...basically this was a combination of the meds not working and the...
are you saying that you took antibiotics previously (for crohns) and if so, did you improve? ...as you say you are in remission, so was that from the same antibiotic? You imply I should have words of...
http://www.diamyd.com/ will prolly come from this company...
i think US patent application 2009/0092637 A1 (publication date April 9, 2009) is "on the correct autoantigen track"....
asacol site says 3 weeks. My advice is that you really eat well during this time to keep up your weight even gain if you can. I was not able to have so many asacol as they would get stuck in my...
another fast fact: Antibodies against S. cerevisiae are found in 60–70% of patients with Crohn's disease. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae thought we are trying to get rid of all...
i found this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_boulardii ireally dont know what is best and cringe at the idea of eating yeast when i know i have problems with pizza dough which i...
bronchitis likely viral. antibiotics do very little to treat a virus. antihistamine clears mucus, altho you mite get response with an antibiotic on allergen or allergic reaction. Thus you killed good...
"being sick all the time on it though" <<
no i don't..(I was reaattached but had problems in that same area, and have the illeostomy now) and often wondered what the correct med would have been, as you cannot dilate empty space. The idea of...
try a more tolerable iron complex. caution using aspirin as you are thinning your blood....
the small pieces of coconut are acting to slow down the bowel flow rate. basically you are using the tiny pieces of coconut as a fiber in your diet. diet fiber is physically smaller than coconut...

hi, the humira is more of an antibody than a drug. it is administered by getting a shot since you would otherwise "digest" the antibody. It is not clear whether crohns is entirely humoral or cellular...
50 mg is 333% daily so if you just get zinc tablets from pharmacy OTC it can be a pretty big pill. i sometimes will just suck on one and spit it out after awhile. but no... the zinc is not as bad as...
the wheat is related to gluten so perhaps a gluten free diet can help...see celiac diets that are gluten free....
well you should try for the maximum, as this disease has tendency to reoccur, so when they give you the Navy lawyer also consider getting a private lawyer of your own. That way if you get worse and...
same here, first was a foot of staples second had sutures and glue...so cant comment on the lapro, but if you want less scar its obvious way to go. I am not on meds and Im somewhat sane now, lol....
see type V hypersensitivity on the scale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitivity The mediators are IgM, IgG and/or the complement immune system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complement_system...
well i care what did it...and the poster obviously cares having asked the question.. .apparently you saying that after receiving antimap antibiotics there was no inflammation, but you didnt come out...
yes absolutely better B vits from the drink than from a pill. I drink the maximum of the monster drinks (filled with vit Bs) but they have tons of stimulants and sugar so that will help with the Bs...
you can go to your local public health department to get a water bottle that you can fill with your tap water, and then return it to them so they can test it. Takes a few days because the water test...
since when is prednisone prescribed for a urinary tract infection?...
the nurse will come in to see you as the solution drips in. as this is just like when you receive antibiotic drip or a saline drip. You can certainly keep an eye on the needle area to make sure it...
The commonality in all diet approaches is higher protein (and often natural unprocessed fats) and a reduction in carbohydrates. These particular carbohydrates to avoid would be the lectins:...
you can check with either doctor to see if the cheilitis is candida, i.e. Candidiasis. (check the advice on tackling that). You already that the antibiotics have wiped out your natural flora as been...
vinegar is acidic, and acidic foods will not neutralize what you say is an acid condition so not sure of your reasoning there. (base neutralizes acid). Anyways, I would say take a supplement of B...
proper digestion of glucose in the body is glycolysis ...thus fermentation is essentially glycolysis ..the digestion of glucose inside the body see wikipedia. yeast is used in industrial fermentation...
prednisone acts on the immune system and prostaglandins. Its anti-inflammatory properties when weighed against its insulin suppressancy is questionable. The option is a COX2 inhibitor, and infact...
hi, you know that a single doctor cannot possibly know of all the anti-inflammatory drugs out there (http://www.reference.md/files/D000/mD000894.html ) link is from reference.md. -Anti-Inflammatory...
i like your smiley :)...
the fact that map is (becoming) more resistant to the drugs does not make this information entirely useless. taking snohares advice, by taking a moment to reflect, diseases typically are viral, and...
vomiting everyday since august?? yikes ..I think you should concentrate on talking with a doctor on what is causing that and how to correct it....
dodger84...can you clarify your statement [that]..."Crohn's does not respond to treatment for tuberculosis." with any sort of evidence, such as a journal article of your source, which actually states...
defintely have problems with 20 grams!... i can barely handle a grapefruit which i guess is between 2-6 grams even if i eat it over long period of time i get real gassy. I wonder if that gas has been...
my guess is that your electrolytes are low. the Amitiza is a newer approved drug = Lubiprostone. while wikipedia says it does not alter serum electrolytes ..I kinda doubt that information. More...
Happy V-day..i dont have much advice on details like that. I know that MSM was mentioned before for extra sulfur but you should get enough amino acids types from proteins, such as having eggs with...
it seems you have perianal crohns. You should try to get this cleared up because it can get worse. That means doing all mentioned such as getting the remicade as soon as possible. If its infected you...
