I keep my meds in cabinets so my kids do not get them. So it is usually out of site out of mind. However I don't really like taking pills in the first place and thankfully my problems are mild. I...
I just started taking pentasa. First, would you say 3-4 weeks till you started to notice it helping? Is the point of the med to stop the flare or minimize symptoms? Or both. I saw this med can cause...
Thank you ladies for responding. I really appreciate it. I hope pentasa will work well. As I said I am thankful I have a mild case but would really like to put this behind me and be symptom free....
So the my new Prometheus blood test came back. My reg one showed positive pattern for crohns however none of my levels were elevated. So my new one showed a pattern for both cd and uc. As well 4 of...
I believe allergy food testing IgG is just as reliable (or not ) as celiac blood test or Prometheus blood test. I know dr use these test to help diagnose. But I also know some people don't think they...
I am not well either. This was my first big holiday with a restricted diet. I was hoping I would get away it or thought I would be ok with the consequences. I am now know I am not. No more cheating....
That may be roni but I have not experienced that and so far my sister and daughter are doing well on wheat free diets. Both tested positive for wheat allergies and neg celiac. My daughter will have a...
I think we should all get Elisa food allergy testing (the one with 88 or more foods) I think we have more issues handling food then we hunk as sometimes it takes a few hours to days to show a...
6 years ago I had a precancerous polyp at age 25. Thankfully recent colonoscopy was clear! I do have a family history of colon cancer though....
First off with smoking, my mother smoked throughout her whole pregnancy with me. I was born 4-6 wks early I assume from that. I started smoking at 13 and since my parents both did thy never...
What do you mean by functional? Honestly I dont think think they have a clue what causes either ibd or ibs. And if bowel troubles are do to things we eat like yeast ten maybe it starts off as ibs...
There is this dr that runs the ibs treatment center in Washington. He finds that a large majority of his patients have food allergies or yeast problems. I wonder how close are ibd and ibs related....
The Prometheus test I am talking about coming back positive was the Prometheus serology 7. It is to be one of the tests gi use to see if you have crohns. Like everything, people debate on if it is...
I just test as having a yeast allergy so I am interested in this. I tested positive for on the Prometheus blood test and just had another to fully determine if I do have crohns....
Not sure I could handle swallowing a pillcam. Not too good with swallowing large pills. The pain I had experienced in the 7 years after my first child was just like labor. So much so that I mistaken...
Rice does not cause my tongue to have issues just my stomach /indigestion /fatigue/body aches issues. Fruit has been the only thing I notice to cause OAS for me. I am a little bummed to especially...
Hello all. So my story starts as a child I was generally constipated. Fast forward to about 20years old, I saw my first gi dr for rectal fissures and bleeding. I was worried as blood often seem to...
I had a blood test that checked for about 88 food allergies. That was how I discovered the rice allergy. I was actually on a gluten free diet with my wheat allergic daughter. I was hoping it would...
Thank you to you all. I am new with this and everything you have said has been very helpful. First I read that taking magnesium helps with constipation and that people with ibd are often lacking it...
I too am sorry about your son. My 7 year old started having stomach issues in early summer. Gi dr did a food allergy testing and she showed a wheat allergy. Which my sister has and I have rice and...
I have this as well. I also have lots of air borne allergies as well. I am in the process of possibly being diagnosed with crohn. Had a pos Prometheus, some findings in a stool study. I just got...
