SupportiveMom-Thank you for your reply. What were your daughter's symptoms? My daughter has pain almost immediately after eating with nausea and upper mid abdominal pain. No lower abdominal or right...
Datawraith, thank you for your feedback and wells wishes. I will let everyone know what we find out after the colonoscopy is finished.......
I have not heard such great things about the healthmaster. If you are going to invest the money in a high quality blender, I would strongly suggest the vitamix. I have crohn's and use it everyday,...
Kazbern, hopefully neither of our daughters' has or will develop crohn's. I am praying that the MRI was over read and it is not crohn's after all. She has a colonoscopy scheduled for next friday so...
kazbern, thank you very much. Yes, she has been on prilosec, prevacid, and protonics. None of which worked. This came on right after she got her period too. The most concerning thing at this point is...
Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. Yes, we will do the colonoscopy with biopsy. She has had a GI exam, no tenderness or mass at the right quadrant. All blood tests were also within normal...
Hi there, I am the mom of a beautiful 14 year old girl who, unfortunately, has had a lot of medical issues. She is a twin and was born early with a heart defect. She has since had open heart surgery...
tsitodawg- Thanks for your great response. You make a lot of interesting points. One question I have, how would a gi doc be able to evaluate if the narrowing is scar tissue or inflammation? I have...
Blueberry- I know you said you are on remicade. Do you have the stricturing type of CD? I'm a little confused as the doc's originally said I would never be a candadate for remicade ( 10 yrs ago) due...
Babeinthewoods- I agree with what you are doing too. I was on SCD a long time ago and did find it helpful. My problem now is that with a narrowing it is such a tough diet to hold to as there are a...
BlueberryDecaf and Nanners- Thank you so much for your replies! I have to say, I don't feel that much better about going on the meds, but I do now realize it is the right thing to do. Questions I...
CrohnieToo- I'm starting to think you are right. I am in a "symptomatic remission" ( sort of) by each diagnostic tests shows "bowel wall thickening", "mild inflammation", etc. I have enjoyed 10 years...
Crohnie Too- Thanks so much for your response. Were you on any meds at the time you "donated" part of your ileum? If I could go another 20 years without medication and still have just mild crohns...
Yes. They are both IBD specialists. My GI dr has been pushing me to start 6mp for about the past 4 years. I will likely start the medication soon. I don't have any diarhea. My only symptom is...
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with crohns 10 years ago. I had very mild symptoms, just intermitent mild crampiness. I have not been on any meds. I was also told I had an area of mild narrowing,...
Thank you all for your posts. This is a wonderful place to get information from others in the same situation. Grumpygi: I recieved several opinions about which therapy to try. I went to one of the...
Thank you so much for your feedback. Currently, I am not on any medication. 6MP is mild? With everything I read this med scares the heck out of me. I definetly don't want an emergency situation which...
Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum, but not new to crohn's disease. I was diagnosed 9 years ago during ( incidentally) during colonoscopy. I have had only very mild symptoms thus far, for the...
I am having the same symptoms. I have a stricture. I have had crohn's for 9 years and am not taking any medications. For the last couple of days I have had nausea all day everyday. DOes this mean I...
