I used to drink Miralax daily. I only stopped about a month ago. I had been dealing with constipation until labor day weekend then for some reason my bowels totally freaked out and I was going about...
Thank you guys! I feel fairly confident now that I will be able to tell the difference. I too was able to feel the baby move fairly early because I knew that what I was feeling was nothing that I had...
I am 21 weeks pregnant and was told I was in remission before we even started trying. My biggest problem had always been constipation. Had two resections for narrowing and scarring. Now, I know that...
Chocolate Boost!!...
After reading how much people were saying it hurt, I prepared for the worst for the first shot. It wasn't comfortable, but it was not nearly as terribly as some people make it sound. I was on...
I used LoSo prep once. My doctor's office gave it to me when I scheduled the test, so I'm not sure where you get it. It wasn't nearly as much liquid as other ones. Not bad....
Thank you. That's probably why they didn't say much about it, but I just want to know what is given to me an why. Much appreciated...
I had my first iron infusion last week. My hemoglobin was 8.6. Today is was down to 8.5 when I went in for my next infusion. This time along iwith the B12 and the iron, I got an iv of Decadron. I'm...
Yeah, the first resection was ileocecectomy and the second was in the same area. My last surgery was almost a year ago though. Would it take that long for things to start screwing up?...
My biggest problem has always been C. Never really had a problem with D at all. Have had two resections for blockages. Well, a couple of months ago I started having this cramping pain I had never had...
I would have to agree with the other posts. I will tolerate a lot. Have had so many tests, but that one I will NOT do again. I actually was in a bit of pain. Not sure if there are different kinds....
So I had my first dose of Humira about a week ago. Everything went fine. No reactions or anything. I've have always gotten lots of headaches, so I can't say that those are from Humira. Today,...
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I was still a bit numb when I went to bed. It's kind of scary, but eventually it does go away....
Thank you. I know I am probably worrying about nothing, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I will probably just see how I feel afterward. If I am still worried, then I will wait in the...
This may seem like a silly question, but I get so paranoid. So it has been impossible to get a hold of a someone to get a nurse to come out to get me started on my Humira. I have a GI appt. tomorrow,...
I know the shoulder pain you are talking about very well. I don't remember exactly, but I know it lasted at least a couple of weeks. I had a CT a couple of weeks after surgery because the disease had...
Do you have a problem with acid? like reflux? I didn't think I really had a big problem, but I asked my dentist about my teeth being so sensitive and he said it could likely be from acid because of...
I totally get how that feels. My doctor didn't return my phone calls for over a month. Actually, it was his nurse. I was getting so depressed and upset thinking that it was me, and they were avoiding...
I like the chocolate, but I can't stand to drink the vanilla. It's just too sweet. It's like eating frosting. I wouldn't say it makes me nauseous though....
HI, There's not much more I can add other than it may take longer for your bowels to wake up. I was so scared the first time. Mine took 5 days to wake up, but eventually it will happen. Other than...
I've gotten to the point where I can't take it anymore. I've been anemic for at least 4 years. Just couldn't get my levels up. My GI doesn't want me taking iron pills anymore until I get my digestive...
I have been a vegetarian for 10 years. At least a few years before I started showing symptoms. I do not eat a lot of vegetables becuase I cannot handle them either. I have a lot of carbs and soy...
I have to agree. I love my heated mattress pad. Ours is king so we also have the dual controls. It's nice getting into a pre-warmed bed and relaxing. Only problem is my dog loves it too and has to be...
I don't really have an answer, but I just wanted to say...I am going through the exact same thing. Had the blood tests about three weeks ago. Called the nurse for results and she mumbled to herself...
At first I was so excited when my doctor gave me the RX for Osmoprep instead of having to do the gross liquid. That ended once I started taking the pills. After the first two doses I started gagging...
Thank you all. At least I'm armed with some knowledge. I called my GI to ask about it because I just always figure whatever goes wrong could be related to Crohn's. They want me to see my GP, so I am...
Julie1014, I'm sure it is very possible that it is acid related, but something I read said that there aren't problems swallowing. Anything more solid than pasta takes some effort to go past the spot...
Thank you. That was vary confusing, but very interesting. I will mention it to my doctor when I go in to complain about it....
The only thing that may explain it is the reflux, but I do take 20 mg Aciphex 2x a day for a couple years now for duodenitis and an ulcer. The rest of that I don't think I can relate to. Thanks....
Does anyone know what I'm talking about ? I tried searching, but didn't find anything. It feels like I have a lump in my throat that makes it hard to swallow. I went to my GP a while ago for it, and...
My sister is an MRI tech and she had never heard of it either, but trust me, it was barium. I spent a lot of time staring at the bottle....
I'm not sure. I know they did two different areas, but they already knew what they were looking for. It was at the anastamosis from a recent ileocecectomy. I'd had a CT done and my other hospital...
I had an MRI with barium. They were looking for narrowing. I don't know if that matters. I had to drink a lot of it. 3 bottles of stuff. I did end up throwing it up because it just wouldn't go down...
Hi, I have the same thing. As far as I know they are called cryptic tonsils and there really is not much you can do about it short of getting your tonsils taken out. This is just what I have read. I...
It took me well over 3 hours to get results from it. I was not able to get all the pills down because I just couldn't drink anymore water because I was so full. It's not a plesant wait, but it will...
I had an MRI to look for inflammation. They made me drink a bunch of barium and gave me a shot of something (can't remember what) to get my intestines to stop moving. They got some info from it but...
Does the medication through the epidural make you sleepy like the PCA does? I kind of liked the fact that the morphine in the PCA made me go to sleep. Time went by faster for a couple days....
I didn't see anything on this in the past posts, but I never seem to get results when I search. Is there anyone that has had both an epidural and PCA? (not at the same time) I had a resection in...
I had surgery last November to remove a few inches of terminal ileum, cecum, appendix and the valve. Before my incisions had even healed I was having terrible pain in my lower right side and the C...
I saw Dr. Cohen at University of Chicago for a second opinion before my surgery. He seemed to be very nice and knowledgable. I'm going back to my doctor in Northwest Indiana simply because it is just...
I have major problems with C and I couldn't tell that it did anything at all....
I have the same thing. I was wondering about that. I will get them so bad when I'm sleeping it hurts to walk the next day because the muscles are so sore. I figured it was just something I was...
After a colonoscopy my GI said it was probably Crohn's in Ti, but he would not say for sure until I had a SBFT....
Well, at least I know I'm not alone. Thank you guys so much. I'm going to try this again. Maybe this time I'll have the will power to resist eating everything in sight....
My surgical consultation is on the 29th. I eat, but I have bad C. I just wish I could eat less because I get so backed up. I drink a Boost in the morning. Usually holds me for an hour or two. It's...
Maybe I'm strange, but I feel so sick and bloated, but I can't stop eating. I just get so hungry. Doctor is pretty sure I have scarring in TI that is going to be removed. My surgical appt. is not...
I took at least a couple months to start getting back to normal. They packed it wil this string of gauze stuff after the surgery and left a little tail that I just had to pull out a little bit at a...
I also had this done. It was quite painful for a while. I sat on a donut pillow for a few months. The only thing different was that instead of repacking everyday, the doctor told me to pull out about...
I had headaches for about the first week and a half that I took it, but I just kept taking it an eventually they went away....
Been on Asacol for 3 months and it has done nothing to me and nothing for me yet. Hope you have better luck....
