I was just looking on here for the same question. I have Crohn's and IC and they seem to flare up at the same time. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but in my opinion, you should treat the...
I had the pill cam get stuck somewhere in my small bowel, and upon saying that, I need to ask more questions, because I'm not sure where. That was in 2013 and at that time I had disease in TI and...
PS. Still have active Crohn's at TI and Cecum, so I guess Humira is not working all that well. Sigh!...
I just had stricturplasty on two strictures, full open surgery. funny thing is..I have been telling my GI that food wasn't going through, kept having obstruction issues, etc and he acted like I was...
I too, have IC. I try to avoid coffee, cola and spices. I use a barrier cream and lidocaine for the burning. My urologist told me to not let it rule my life and it doesn't.....Crohn's does!...

Thank you so much for the reply. I've done thirty days on liquids and I suppose I can continue. I did a short burst of pred when this first started, but another one seems to be in order. feels very...
I have been having obstruction issues, which I have been trying to manage at home for a month. after getting to the point where liquids are giving me difficulty, I finally decided it was time to go...
I had the same problems with Humira, Uti, sinus and headache with extreme fatigue. I stayed on it for nine months, all the while begging my GI to come off it. I finally did and went back to Pentasa,...
I hate this disease to. I hate the " you don't look sick" and the "your bloodwork was fine" and the " at least you don't have cancer". I know there are people who are way sicker than me, and I feel...

I have been lurking here since diagnosis in 2006, the help has been awesome. I had a resection, small bowel,this past December, pancreatitis from 6mp and now I am on Humira. I feel my Crohn's is...
Vicks is warm, but so worth it to get the swelling down and the bleeding stops. personal choice, but I won't go without it, just saying........
I use Vicks Vapor rub for my hemmies and skin tags. Immediate relief from swelling. I swear by it....
I am in your boat, reacting badly to all the meds, so my GI has me take Pentasa twice a week and Pred 5 mg if I feel a flare on the way. Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing....
