I kind of follow the SCD (specific carbohydrate diet). Basically, I don't eat bread and it has had an amazing affect on my health. Less pain, normal weight, good bm's and generally feel better. The...
thanks! you both made me feel much better about it....
So my annual scope has been booked for months, its in a few days and I just realized I'm about to get my period. Maybe this is silly and there is nothing to worry about but what do I do if I have my...
Ok, I'm posting this here because you guys have always helped in the past and you also understand what it's like balancing a few different illnesses. I've been on 100mg of zoloft for the last year....
I'm Canadian and I get mine from Shopper's Drugmart. Not sure it's different if you're an American but it is a great store/pharmacy. There are tons of them around. I've been on Entocort for a while,...

I wouldn't be worried. I drink coffee everyday and have always been very constipated. Prune juice and salad everyday, not very tasty but it works. Goodluck...
Read some good books. The more pain I'm in the bigger my library grows....

Thats a tough one, i've been there. I went once and spent a few hours, they did some blood work and sent me home with nothing. It was good to know that nothing was seriously wrong since hey sent me...

I was having a weird cramping/stiffness in my legs. I found bumping up my B12 helped. I had looked it up on this forum and found that was the general idea that it was B12 deficiency. It helped me. I...
I was told its because you have inflammation in your body so its easier for other parts to become inflamed, causing joint pain. A heating pad helps me. Good Luck!...
Prune juice in the morning and night when its really bad. Only once in the morning once it's getting better. It tastes bad but you get used to it. Also a salad everyday and you'll be excellent. I had...

I have this same issue all the time. I find I have to keep a very close eye on my diet because I shift back and forth very quickly. When constipated I make sure to drink a glass of prune juice in the...
Don't worry about the scope. The hardest part of it is the prep, the sedatives you get during the procedure are great :) Once they get you on a medication that works for you it will be way better,...
