I had been having gallbladder attacks for 6 years before I was told (after a test for something else) that I have gallstones. They missed it during 2 emergency room visits. 1 when I was pregnant, 1...
I am anxious to hear how they work for you. Good luck....
At times I get lots of these infections as well. I did EVERYTHING they say to prevent them (yogurt, showers not baths, cotton underwear, etc etc) but used to still get them quite regularily. I also...
Interesting.....that the drugs are supposed to help this....I have been on prednisone and Imuran for the past three weeks (for the first time) and I started experiencing knee pain for the first time...
I am on prednisone. I started at 40mg (once per day) for 2 weeks then down 5mg each week, until I hit 10 mg, then I have to cute by 2.5mg/day. This seems like a very slow taper. I agree that it would...
Okay! Glad to know that I am not the only one out there. When I was first diagnosed I was at my lowest weight ever in my life, and had been there for about a year. I had started exercising all the...

My Chrohns symptoms are very mild compared to most of you, so my 'flares' probably aren't as serious as some others, but for me....I call it a flare anytime I get more than 3 or 4 days of constant D...
Mine has not changed at all. I am on the pill though so that probably regulates it more. I would think that if you are at a very low weight- that would more likely be the reason? Also it could be...
I am still working on finding what foods work for me and which don't. So far, I find what works one day may not necessarily help another day. That being said, I have found that Activia (specifically...
Thank you all for your responses. It's nice to know that there are others out there who are experiencing similar things. I do seem to be very lucky in that my case seems to be very mild. (at least so...
Hello. This is my first time posting here, although I have lurked at times. I am pretty new to Crohns and am not sure what 'normal' is yet. I have been experiencing stomach pain and diarhea for the...
