last summer i could only go in the sun for five or ten minutest at a time for the first few weeks. i would get a really itchy and burning sensation for some reason. I'm pretty sure it has something...

hey pez927 - I've been on Humira for about a year and a half and it seems to be keeping me stable and feeling good. i guess i'm technically in "remission". i think humira is one of the more mild...
that's total BS, there's mercury in fish and millions upon millions eat fish and they all don't have health problems. ambling is right, it makes no logical sense at all. i remember reading about the...
after i had a partial bowel obstruction i was on liquid for awhile and than started eating really soft foods after a few weeks. i kinda stuck to the BRAT diet(bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast)...
flying sucks. even for people without crohns have issues with flying. i cant believe they would kick someone off a plane for having bowel problems, seems like profiling to me. i hate flying, the last...
I've been on humira about 1 1/2 years (one shot every other week) and it seems to be working pretty good. it took a good 6 months for it to really work for me, it's not very quick like remicade but...
welcome to the forum Binky15! well, for me it started out as just mild gas and got increasingly worse to where it felt like there was a balloon in my guts. over the course of 6 months i didn't tell...
NCOT - yeah, i'm sure keeping crohns secretive to everyone will help us all out so much. so you wont give anything to any ibd awareness projects, what about other disease's? are you against people...
NCOT - mind, body and spirit are all connected to life. attacking Christians will do nothing for you. i think you should research the story of Job in the bible. Christians face the same problems as...
i saw the word "cure" several times in that moms story and that's what makes me a little bit angry. i do believe the diet works to a certain degree but i don't believe it is a cure. if it was a cure...
the holidays are so hard when your trying to stick to the foods that work for you. i haven't eaten sweet stuff or junk food in months and then the holidays came. I'm trying to recover from a 7 day...
I don't have much experience with insurance stuff because I'm 17 but the meds you listed are pretty common. i don't think you would have a problem getting them here. i think if you were on expensive...

it would probably be breaking news around the world(or so i hope), and probably doctors calling patients. i can only imagine the feeling it would be like to hear there is a cure. it would probably be...
I'm not currently on the diet but i just wanted to say there are some good recipes on Google. look up scd cauliflower pizza, its simple, easy and probably one of the best scd recipes. also, the...

i don't want to sound mean but i think there might be the slight chance you overreacted. im on humira and have had plenty of cuts and scrapes with no problem. 24 hours just doesnt seem like enough...
i did pretty good on scd with no meds and achieved a type of remission. after about six months i ended up in the hospital with a bowel obstruction though. i think if i would have paired the diet with...
Ensure is pretty easy on the guts to get some kind of nourishment. it helps give you some energy and vitamins. also make sure you drink enough water, being dehydrated can cause constipation....
i feel fine when i eat mayonnaise and mustard. different for everybody though so try just a little bit and see how you feel....
i think you might just have to give the meds some more time. inflammation takes awhile to heal, it took me about six months to go from 1800 to 75 which is a normal calprotectin. its good to have that...
