Hi, everyone! It's been a while since I've posted. I started having abdominal pain about a year ago and it has steadily gotten worse. In April, after two months of pain, I went to the gynecologist...
I'm not much help because I've not experienced this but we went gluten free for a long time. One of my kids is super gluten sensitive and we were home bound for a while because they would get sick...
Sorry for your loss....
I'm sorry for your loss *hugs*...
Get a new doctor, it's the key to successful treatment/management of your disease. Good Luck!...
This is a long story, so bear with me. about two weeks ago I started taking Kapidex, but was only able to take six days worth because it made me pretty sick, intestinal pain, big D, nausea. Soon...
No licorice. I take prenatals as my vitamin but they dont make my stool darker. I haven't had any dark foods. I mainly eat chicken and veggies....
Snappy's right about the exercise. It releases endorphins and I think increases seratonin in your system. Can't remember exactly how it works, but it's just good for you. Maybe you should try to meet...
I've been having issues with my stomach for the past few months. I got sick two weeks ago. I threw up and couldn't eat for about two days. I recovered for the most part BUT now I'm having intestinal...
I don't know about a blockage or stricture. No experience in that area. Have you tried eating something really high in fiber? I either eat a ton of celery or Jicama. Don't forget to drink lots of...
It's all about trial and error. Believe me, you'll KNOW when foods are not good for you!...
We were and are all confused. It's a complicated disease, but we come here for help soooo WELCOME! :tongue:...
I made the mistake of not telling my professors and I failed nearly all of my classes....Do tell your professors. Best things you could do. I also stopped stressing. It didn't help. Give yourself...
*hugs* We all have to vent from time to time. It's difficult to go from healthy to now for many. I've always had problems with my stomach, so I'm kind of used to it. But flares are painful and...
I agree with the others. Your doctor should do more tests. I'm actually one of those people that takes the medications without an official diagnosis. However, my doctor did run all of the tests. He...
So after a week and a half of prednisone and no relief, I've gained five lbs (hoping it's water retention) since I tried to eat the world. /community/emoticons/nono.gif I've been put on an anti-acid,...
I just started taking it. Quite frankly my Crohn's is doing it's own thing right now, and I've only taken it two days. My mood is better. I still feel alert and less anxious about things which I...
I'm having a abdominal and pelvic scan. I hope it doesn't take forever. I have a really rough night with intestinal cramps after eating. Oh, it was pretty bad. today I'm tired, dragging, and feeling...
Thanks for the reply :-) My Gastro actually wanted me to go on Wellbutrin...I'm so afraid to lose even more hair. Every time I brush my hair it falls out. I've practically gone from completely...
Hi, everyone! I'm new here. I normally post on another forum here. I need to get on psych meds...badly. I'm going through some very stressful times and it's affecting other health conditions that I...
As you know, I'm going through a rough patch with my Crohn's. My doctor thinks it may be with all of the stress in my personal life that is causing my Crohn's to just spiral out of control. I am...
So tomorrow I shall have a Barium CT Scan. I did this a few years ago and I can't seem to remember anything about the experience. How does it take for them to do the CT Scan? Not long right? Does...
I think I was on a higher dosage before. Honestly, I haven't had CD problems in a long time. I mean, I've been sick with the big D but not like this, not in a long time. I'm hoping it'll help....
I've been on Prednisone for three days. I've only had two maybe three rounds of it before. Previously, I've felt wonderful after the first or second dose....this time around I'm not feeling much...
My doctor suspects it's stress triggering the Crohn's symptoms and is sending me for a CT scan. And he wants me to eat. So I don't go back to him for another week or so. Fun times. He thought the...
Me too. My doctors assume it's from me being overweight....
Universities offer health insurance. Some offer Blue Cross Blue Shield. They're a decent insurance company, at least with the experience I've had. I've been on two different insurance companies while...
I had all of the tests. Results were inconclusive, but some scarring I believe. I had these tests done about two or three years ago. I've been taking entecort, which has worked wonders. If I don't...
Mine would not be offended. He would understand that I'd want someone else's opinion because it's dealing with my body. Don't stress. You have Crohn's....I would think your doctor would understand....
I've gone to work and have gotten sick. They know I have stomach problems. I use the bathroom often and I have thrown up before. It's all about what you feel comfortable doing. I would call your...
One more thing~I've been having cramping under my left rib and sometimes my right....
For about the past two to three months I have been sick. I had what my gastro suspected was gallbladder pain. I was originally sent for the test about two months ago, but got extremely sick. I spent...
Soda is the devil. It makes me flare and once I flare...well, you know. I don't drink soda anymore, only water. I'm glad I stopped drinking so much soda, I was completely addicted. *cringes*...
Congrats on finding something that works for you! I do Atkins and it's worked for me. It's eliminated my trigger foods : )...
Too funny!...
They said my chest x-ray came out negative---I don't know for what though. I didn't ask. I haven't had an MRI. Thank you for the breathing tip. I hope it's nothing major, but I did research COPD ( i...
Hey :) I'm new to this part of healing well. I was tested for asthma a few weeks ago and got my results yesterday. I'm a little puzzled on the whole thing. They said the tests showed that I had...
I went to the website and it said if you answered yes to questions 6-13 then more than likely they're migraines. The pain is intense and I want to say sharp (kind of). It's right behind my right eye...
Hey, guys! I have crohn's, but I was wondering if you guys could help me with getting some information. I think I'm having migraines. If there's a website to look at that you would recommend, that...
She did have assistance with her insulin. However, her husband makes 1% over the maximum allowed income, for the medical assistance she was receiving. And no, they can't afford insulin without...
My friend is in DKA for the fourth time. /community/emoticons/sad.gif I spent my whole day with her at the hospital. Have any of you had this same experience? She had run out of insulin, and that in...
Hi /community/emoticons/smile.gif My best friend is a diabetic. Her birthday is coming up and I would love to throw her a mini party. The problem is she loooves sweets /community/emoticons/nono.gif...
I agree! I especially loved what the red lipstick represented for the main character. It's not a somber movie either; obviously, the topic is sad, but it's a light hearted movie that will make you...
My GI gave me Protonix, and it works sooo well. I love it! Well, there are certain things that will trigger your acid reflux, so you have to watch for them. I get really bad acid reflux no matter...
I watched it last night and loved it. I'm not a breast cancer survivor; however, I am a cancer survivor. So I LOVE watching movies like this. I liked it! Did anyone else watch it? I think lifetime...
