If the ulcers are not crohn's then why would he want to try remicade? Just asking.....perhaps he's thinking UC?...
I definitely think that stress has alot to do with aggravating crohn's. I've been stressed by finances, family problems and dealing with health problems for the past six months. For me it seems to...
I take Cardizem....I don't experience anything different taking it. I stopped taking it for about 2 weeks to see if I saw any difference....
just wondering.......what side effects are worse.....the side effects from Entocort or those from the anti-tnf drugs (Cimzia, Humira and Remicade)???...
The best I've felt in the last year and a half is right after my endoscopy and colonoscopy. After both of those, I've felt no pain, had no worries, and slept on an off during the day. Those were some...
I've been on the Apriso I think now for about 4-5 months.....my one month reprise from the pain was in end of January into February so I don't know if there's any side effects but lately my stomach...
Here's the article: http://www.rd.com/living-healthy/5-vitamin-truths-and-lies/article175625.html You be the judge. I will say though, my blood tests last year were showing that I was anemic and I...
Just took my first dose! Trying 2000 IU daily to start. If that's enough how soon should I feel a difference and what are those differences?...
Coffee makes me go too. I used to drink a cup or two everyday but I think it may contributed to acid reflux so I stopped being a regular coffee drinker. I occasionally drink a cup in the morning when...
Pinkflipflops: no side effects from Apriso that I can tell.......Asacol gave me headaches...no headaches with Apriso. Although I don't know what effect Apriso is having since I still have...
I've thought about that but I was having pain before taking probiotics. There was a month of no pain after starting probiotics, but I changed some eating habits also so I don't know what contributed...
Just saw an article in the last issue of Reader's Digest about the myth/facts about Vitamins. Basically, taking vitamin supplements actually do nothing and maybe causing harm......the only Vitamin...
I don't really know what a flare is. I've had pain since January 09. It ranges between 2 and 5 on a scale of 10. Being treated for Crohn's disease but dr doesn't really know. I've had one month since...
What happens if you get too much Vitamin D? I asked my dr about being tested and he looked at me funny. I'll ask my GP on my next cholestorol blood test. I'm sure he'll do it. In the meantime, I'm...
Long story short.....I had a colonoscopy in Oct 09 after 6 months of pain.....3 on scale of 10. Dr. said very small ulcers in terminal ilieum. Labs reports: ileal ulcers - no diagnostic abnormality...
I've been taking Welchol for cholesterol for years. That could be why I have no diarreah. The only symptom of chrons I've ever had is abdomen pain....
With my doctor's blessing, I am stopping the Welchol and Cardizem. That's four pills. I'll go back in three months to test my cholesterol. Hopefully, it won't go up too much. Besides, I think the...
I feel like it takes me forever to swallow all of these pills. What makes it worse some of these have to be taken at different times because some affect the way others work if taken too close...
Has anyone heard of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for treatment of Crohn's? I've just read a bunch of material that seems promising but haven't seen it on these forums?...
newfoundsun---I'm exactly the same (no D) but only mild pain. I am on Apriso which is really doing anything except keeping pain from getting worse???? I changed my diet too. I started eating...
I use protonix which has seemed to work well so far. I do seem to get a little heartburn now in the evenings and I drink a cup of peppermint tea and that seems to work....
yeah....Apriso is expensive for me....
The lab report came back and said colitis......Doc said he saw some small ulcers....
I was diagnosed with UC in September. I had been having mild abdominal pains and had a colonoscopy. The confusing part is that I do not have diarreaha, no urgency and no bleeding (at least that I can...
I started Asacol after the colonoscopy in Sept. Asacol seemed to make me nervous and gave me headaches. Doc switched to Apriso. I have a follow up appt in January so I think I'm going to see what the...
I was diagnosed in August with "colitis". The colonoscopy showed a couple tiny ulcers in my colon and at the very end of the small intestine. The doctor said it could be either ulcerative colitis or...
