I just found out that drugs like ibuprofen and Aleeve are not good for crohn's patients because of the risk of gut permeability. I had no idea! Is this really true? I take Aleeve before I dance twice...
Anybody with crohn's ever get candida symptoms? I thought it was a yeast infection, but now I'm wondering if it's candida. My urine smelled strong but wasn't necessarily a strange color. I also have...
Okay, so the weird thing is, my heartburn is now gone! Could a probiotic like Florastor really be the culprit? Somebody wrote to me and said that it was a good probiotic, but now good for crohn's...
Thanks everyone for the amazing information regarding your thoughts on the No Guts No Glory Diet and Jordan Rubin. Wow! Crazy Harry, you've been through so...much with your crohn's I feel like bowing...
Wow...thanks for the advice. I don't like phonies!...
Anybody ever heard of this diet before? I'm reading Jordan Rubin's book and his story is so moving. He has so many good tips about diet and drugs and how they relate to Crohn's disease. If you tried...
Any connection between crohn's and stomach cancer? I really appreciate the advice I got about how to handle the heartburn. I started reading about my symptoms and they parallel the beginning stages...
I contracted C. diff from the antibiotic Augmentin after giving birth to my daughter fourteen years ago. I believe it's in the same family as amoxicillan. I'd avoid it at all costs! I was so sick...
Anybody ever have side effects from Florastor? Is it beneficial for Crohn's patients?...
I've had Crohn's for 22 years and suddenly, I'm having chronic heartburn. I've been able to keep my condition stable with the use of Rowasa and cutting out certain foods like dairy products. A few...
I have used mesalamine rectal suspension enemas (a.k.a. Rowasa) for over 20 years and they actually work great for me. If I get a little flare-up with blood, the Rowasa gets rid of it. However, I...
I went to check out a new GI doctor today, or rather I interviewed one to see if he would be a good fit. I was hoping he'd be open to my case about the connection between diet and crohn's. The man...
Thanks for sharing that Crazy Harry! What I've learned since joining healing well is that there are so many people with crohn's like me who have tried the drugs and haven't improved that much, then...
I just picked up a book about how you can turn crohn's disease around by sticking with the primitive diet in this new book. I love how the author tells his story about his severe case of Crohn's and...
Anyone ever get cysts? I just discovered a hard cyst the size of an olive under my right arm near the armpit. It moves when I squeeze it between my fingers, which I think is a good sign. I read that...
Thanks so much for your feedback! It really opens your eyes to the diversity and magnitude of this curious disease. I'll find out on Monday weather the celiac test is negative or positive, but know...
Anyone ever been diagnosed with celiac disease after crohn's? My doctor wants me to take a blood test to rule out celiac - I'm nervous! I don't want to give up wheat and gluten too! I've already had...
Maybe it's not the coffee bugging you so much but the dairy creamer or milk you put in it. Frappachino is loaded with dairy. Try a non-dairy creamer or soy creamer and see if that helps. I can drink...
Anyone out there from Chicago who can give me the name of a great GI in the western suburbs? I'd love to find someone who fully supports the idea that diet has a huge effect on crohn's. I have a...
This comment has nothing to do with your liver. However, when you said you had a mild case of Crohn's I thought of myself. For twenty years, I've had a mild case and the only medication that helped...
I went to Mexico with my family 21 years ago. A month later, I started having blood in my stool. The doctor diagnosed me with Crohn's and I've had a mild case ever since that's controlled through...
I'm new to the forum and have noticed hardly any mentions using the medication Rowasa. It's the only thing I take for Crohn's. Is this an ancient method? I've had a mild case of Crohn's for 21 years...
In the past year, I've awakened in a sweat. Anyone else have this problem with their Crohn's? It's either my body rejecting whatever food I've eaten or I'm in the beginning stages of menopause (I'm...
I have had botox before and the only issue I've had is temporary puffy eyes. Once the botox settles, I'm fine. However, I'm not taking the same drugs as you!...
