I get angry sore throats that go from my throat up and around my whole mouth, then sores on top of the inflammation in my cheeks and around my tonsils, sometimes my tongue is affected too. I paid...
Just what it says up there! I have been in fairly crippling pain for over three days now with my feet, nothing seems to ease it at all. I'm using anti inflammatory gels, cold, heat, pain killers,...
Oh Larry, your poor boy :(. It's a hard enough disease to come to terms with as an adult, I can't imagine my 13 yr old boy suffering like that. My love and best wishes to him x...
Morning, Have you spoken to your surgeon at all? I think it may be the best next step as they can either confirm there is a problem or reassure you that things are as they should be. I have had...
I take Pentasa but it comes in granules, I used to have the pills but they swapped me after work on my stomach (nf). I put the granules in my mouth and rinse down with water. Could you ask if this...
Thanks vitaka, sorry to hear your suffering too. Just back from the hospital, current diagnosis is gastritis in the stomach, biopsies taken including celiac and h pyoli (sp?) what defines the...
You sound much brighter today :)...
Hi, This could be spasm, trapped wind or food trapped momentarily in the wrap, I think this is quite common after the op and doesn't necessarily signal a wrap failure :) mines 18mths out and I get...
You may just have more swelling, I think my case was very unusual with the surgeons approach but it's seen me well. My surgery was open with a splenectomy too so I reckon I had more room in there ;)...
Hi, It's a bit of a relief to see you! My pain is hot pins and needles followed by hard aching in my rhs back and when it's bad the whole side aches and hurts. I think my biggest worry is the wrap...
6 weeks seems to be the uk standard but definitely call the secretaryif your worried. I had slim fasts for a good week or so after mine but my surgeon encouraged solids very early in comparison to...
Hi, Does anyone have crohns in the stomach or esophagus? I'm having tests for back pain related to eating that we thought was gallbladder but it's looking increasingly more likely that my crohns has...
Hi, I had the nf about 18 mths ago. I wonder if actually you aren't regurgitating but bring fluids up that haven't gone through the wrap. This is something that happened and still happens to me if I...
Hi, I have mild/moderate crohns, treated with pentasa at theoment but my hands and feet are really achey and painful when I flare. They feel hot inside and holding cold things eases them, the dr also...
Hi Barry, Thank you for taking the time to answer :) Its really nice to hear that my heartburny jaw is not a figment of my imagination! Has the nissen helped you? And how long ago did you have yours...
Oh, and 1 more question - does anyone else get heartburn place in their teeth and jaw? Drives me insane!...
Hi, I have recently had a Manometry and 24hour PH test. I just wondered if anyone had experience of this in the UK who could give an outline of how it went as I have a two week wait for results....
Thank you all for your replies :) we have had a few family days, so I haven't been online. I definitely have a shift in symptoms over the last month or so, and I need to take my LO to the drs...
I have exactly this issue - I don't lose weight through my crohns and cant eat healthily to try to! I would be very interested how you get on. It makes sense to me that this works, although does it...
Hi, I am currently teetering in remission with a few small niggles, daily does of Pentasa, for TI and several meds for sickness and Gerd (Which is not in remission lol ) My last colonoscopy was a...
Hi Minnietoty, Thank you for your reply. I have had lots of different tests over the last few years and the consultant has said that as I am not responding to an acceptable level with the maximum...
Hi, I have been diagnosed over the last year with Crohns (Narrowing of the T I ), IBS (C and pain) and GERD (Severe, waiting for op to wrap top of stomach around esophagus). I am currently taking 4x...
