I'm not flaring and there's no way I could be pregnant. I guess I'm just not exactly on a schedule yet. Thanks for the help though!...
Hello, everyone.Just to let you all know, I'm currently 15, and I turn 16 on March 9th. I recently started my menstrual cycle 2 months ago. Sorry if this is TMI, but I need some help. Last month I...
Well, here's a little recap of what's been going on the past few months. I've been doing NG tube feeds since May. In August (I think), my doctor put me on nightly NG feeds, 5 times a week. I've been...
Thanks everyone, my mom says she's going to call my GI monday about seeing if i can try to ditch the tube and gain weight on my own, and she also said she's going to get me to see a therapist. I just...
Well, my mom said she would make an appointment to see a therapist, so maybe that will help.....
i convinced my mom to finally call my doctor and see if since I no longer have C-Diff and my surgery was almost 3 months ago, if i can try to gain weight without my tube. She's going to call monday,...
ok, to cover the reason WHY i have the tube: before my surgery, i had trouble gaining. I had to drink Ensures and whatnot for a while, but they didn't work because i couldnt absorb the nutrients and...
well, i've been putting my NG tube in myself for a couple weeks now, and this week it seems like i can't do it! i don't know what i'm doing wrong, i can't even get it into my throat because i hit...
Yeah, i take it out everyday so I can do stuff. I'm just lonely....
Ivy, yeah, that's pretty much how i'm feeling. I was on continuous feeds until July 7th, and no one even cared to visit me or ask how i was or anything, and now i'm just on the nightly feeds, and its...
no, i wish i did though. i'm scared to suggest it to my mom.....
apparently i'll be doing these NG feeds at least until September 16th, when i see an endichrinologist (spelling?) so i'm guessing i'll be doing the feeds longer than that, until i start Remicade. I...
i try, but if you read my signature, i also take Lexapro for depression. I'm stressed about everything. My dad has Crohn's too and he doesn't even understand. My mom wont TRY to understand. "I'm...
yes, i had the resection in April. I started the tube feeds on May 25th because after my surgery i guess i contracted C-Diff and got down to 76 pounds. i'm about 91 pounds now, but im kinda...
Also, i take it out and reinsert it every time.....
CrohnieToo, tube feeds as in the NG tube. ): and Noulls, yes, its VERY frustrating. My doctors great, i'm just kinda upset because he didnt even tell me how long i would be doing these feeds, or give...
i feel like he's setting me up! after a month of daily/nightly tube feeds, he told me i only had to do them nightly, 5 days out of the week. that was july 7th. i don't even know when i get to stop...
i had it every day for about a month and a half, but now i'm just doing nightly feeds 5 days out of every week. no one has every suggested TPN to me though....
I had CDiff a couple weeks after my resection. I was feeling fine, and then it was almost like i was in the middle of a flare. I lost more weight, which i barely had any to lose. I was hospitalized...
i saw my GI today so he could see my progress with the NG tube.. Good news: After about 5 years, i'm finally on the growth chart. I'm gaining, And i don't have to do 20 hour a day feeds anymore....
I've been on Humira for over a year now, and it honestly did nothing for my Crohn's. I ended up having surgery and being so skinny that i have an NG tube. My mom has been talking to my GI about...
i have Crohn's and i have trouble gaining weight also. I have an NG tube. If your weight gets too low, you could possibly end up with one too. Not trying to scare you or anything....
Thanks guys. I try to be strong and think of those who are less fortunate but sometimes it gets so hard. I just want to be normal again....
Took my NG tube out today to go swimming (it had to be changed anyways.) Well tried to get it put back in and it was hitting some kind of resistance. Yes, it hurt. Trying again tomorrow. I've cried...
Zanne, my tube is to gain weight. After my surgery, I got C-Diff so it was like my Crohns symptoms never left. I was down to 76 pounds, and I'm 15 years old with a great appetite. I've had the tube...
Crohns Disease, and i'm pretty underweight. I currently have an NG tube to help me gain, but it's so annoying! Not to mention that i'm an emotional person (teenager) so this doesn't help at all!...
