I'm afraid that I have not had the same symptoms but applaud your decision to go see the doctor. I hope you get some relief soon....
I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding exactly what your "body seems to get clogged up." Do you mean that you are constipated or that you feel like you feel like you have to go but you can't?...
Hi Teri, So sorry that you feel so badly. I'm afraid that I don't know the differences between SIBO & IBS, so I can't be of much help there. Life can be incredibly frustrating especially when no one...
I was put on permanent TPN because I have a short bowel after all the Crohn's surgeries and because I still had strictures even after my latest surgery. I think a lot depends on your doctors and how...
I've been going through some new health issues and I know how easy it is to worry about what the problem could be, and what might happen, etc. I finally caved in and asked my doc for some Ativan....
So sorry I can't be of help hopefully someone with more experience than I can be. All the best....
Me too. Not sure what causes them but they scare me too. Mine are also all day, every day; it's like I can hear everything my stomach is doing. If you find any answers please let us know and I'll do...
I just checked out this site out of curiosity and the 1st post I've read seems to describe my experience exactly. I'm glad I came here. I've had Crohn's for 40 odd years and have currently been...
I personally have not had an anal fistula but find it interesting that they are using laser surgery instead of surgery. I hope that the healing continues and that you will feel a lot better soon. All...
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish you the very best outcome possible. I was recently diagnosed with gastritis and I too find the nausea hard to take. For me it seems to be the worst part...
Unfortunately, I have never found the ER to be of much help. But it's possible that they will give you stronger pain meds if only temporarily. Have you tried calling your doctor and asking for...
I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many issues. I've just started using PPI's and I'm afraid that I don't have any good answers for you. Have you discussed your weaning off the Nexium with your...
Hi and welcome. What herbal remedies are you using? Probably many here have tried herbal remedies in conjunction with the drugs. It would be useful\helpful to know what worked for you....
I pulled this bit from the article on CNN. Hopefully it answers your question. Cough and sore throat The use of vinegar medicinally starts with the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates. He would...
So sorry that no one has been available to answer your question but I am also new here and I haven't tried AVG myself. I have read other posts that swear by them and then some people seem to think...
I'm sorry that I don't have anything useful since I'm new at all of this. It sounds like it's been really rough for you. I do hope someone with more knowledge than me can answer some of your...
I think a gastroscopy is the same as endoscopy I'm assuming. They put the scope into my stomach. Thank you both for your input. I agree it is probably time for a new doctor but getting referrals in a...
Hi, I'm new to gastritis and I am hoping that someone can help figure out if the symptoms I have are common for gastritis. My gastro has put me on 2 PPI's a day, one in the morning and one at night....
I'm in Canada so I don't know if things are done differently here but the last 2 resections I had did not require cleaning myself out first. It did surprised me a bit. But, I had a colonoscopy a...
Sorry to hear about the pleuryism but glad that it was found and that there is a treatment plan. Six weeks can seem interminable when you don't feel well....
I agree with Nokka. Best of luck....
Hi, I'm new a this so I'm not sure how helpful I can be but you want to check the following: https://www.gicare.com/diets/gerd/ There is a lot of info on the net, probably some of it not that...
Hi, I happened to be on another website and came across an article on pyoderma gangrenosum. I'm not sure if it will help you but you might like to have a look. The site is:...
Mine started with what I soon learned was considered burning pain. It came on very suddenly and hurt so bad I thought I should take myself off to emerg but then went away. Now I generally feel full...
Susie, I try to take my med with food. I finally booked an MRI for Monday morning in Buffalo since it was going to take so long to have one done here in Toronto. I did have a colonoscopy and a...
Hi, sorry that you feel so crappy and that there is no family around to comfort you. Do you have any friends that you could call just to keep you company for a while? I hope things will get a lot...
Hi, My symptoms are as follows: I get up in the morning, take a PPI, go to the bathroom. A half hour later I have either fluids or something small to eat and take my other pills (5mg of prednisone...
Hi and welcome, I've had Crohn's for about 40 years and have not had the same experience. But my husband who does not have Crohn's has been gum loss on his bottom front teeth. So I'm not sure that it...
I'm so sorry that I can not help you with any helpful info. I just wanted to make sure that someone that could help would see your post. All the very best....
A lot of drugs can be a problem with the liver or kidney. I'm on Azathioprine for Crohn's and I have blood tests every 3 months to check my liver functions. Unfortunately all drugs have side effects...
Hello, welcome and all the best with the tests....
Hi, I'm pretty new to the PPI stuff but my niece who has gastritis has been on Nexium for over 20 years and she seems to be O.K. She's a retired nurse so I think she would have done the research....
I did take the Zofran yesterday and you were right I did feel better. I had a gastroscopy and I think they took tissue samples. I checked on the "mychart" from the hospital where they post blood...
I agree with you that it seems a bit weird that the surgeon didn't do something about the stricture while he was in there. Unfortunately, in my case strictures seem to be pretty frequent. When do you...
Thank you for the replies. I have Zofran but have been afraid to take it. Have gone off coffee. I was wondering if my issue might be a slowing of my stomach emptying....
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Thanks for all the advice....
Hi Guys, I posted a bout my symptoms in my previous post and I could really, really use some feedback. Please reply. Thanks...
OOPS the name of the prep was PicoSalax not SaloFalk. Sorry about that....
I'm afraid that I did not know what a pyoderma gangenosum scar was so I looked it up. Has your doctor had any suggestion and\or done anything to help you with it? I'm afraid that I don't have any...
bobalouie2, I really think that you need to have a colonoscopy or whatever type of test your gastro orders. I just had a colonoscopy and the cleans was not that bad. The druggist recommended SaloFalk...
Thanks scifigal2k, I will try all the things you suggested and see if my doctor will order the test for me. How are you doing?...
Sorry, I forgot to say that I was told to take sitz baths for it and not to use dry paper towel when I wiped....
I have had an anal fissure off and on for a few years. Last time I had a colonoscopy they didn't mention it so I guess it's not there now. A druggist I went to told me to get my doctor to give me a...
scifigal2k, what did they do for your gastroparesis? I would be interested in finding out more....
Tina, I just recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and it surprisingly hurt. I've had a few in the past and I don't remember them hurting. But I don't seem to have any problems now. I was also...
I checked out gastroparesis on the Mayo Clinic website and it sounds pretty scary. It does explain some of my symptoms but I usually feel sick only in the morning afternoons and evenings are...
I've never heard of gastroparesis. I will check it out. Thanks...
Hi I have had Crohn's off and on for about 40 years. About 1 month ago I woke in the middle of the night with the worst pain which I have since learned was burning pain that I ever had and had...
Hi, I'm usually on the Crohn's forum but have developed gastritis so it seems. My doctor put me on 2 pantoprazole a day, one in the morning and one at night and I don't seem to be having any problems...
