Hi Crohn's sucks...I have been on Entocort for a month and a week with barely no side effects...I have noticed red lines or spots sporadically all over my body but they are there one minute and gone...
Hi Malshay...how was your capsule test? I thought the same as you about swallowing that thing but it does go down pretty good :) Let me know how you turned out :)...

Wow...what a life we live in...it's all about the money...and I am just beginning my track in this disease!!!...
Hi MaxMilian...I am sorry I cannot be of much help to you when it comes to this. What does your GI doctor say? Is he worried about the color and texture?...
Hi Scifigal2k...I am so sorry you are going through this. I have never had the issues you are having and I hope you get past all this and become healthy again. You have every right to vent and talk...
Since I was put on Imuran 2 1/2 weeks ago I have to urinate all the time and sometimes I get like a flushing feeling afterwards but it goes away in a minute or two. I haven't had any lingering pain...
Hey you guys, thanks for your support. I just had my appeal hearing this morning for my unemployment. I don't think I have anything to worry about as they couldn't answer many questions with direct...
I have that off and on too where things don't taste right and it is the same thing you have been eating forever!! I honestly think my problem is amitriptyline I am taking. I get very severe dry mouth...
Thanks for the info...it is a very inspiring article!!...

Yeah I had a resection in 1999 and have been good for the most part. It has returned to the same spot where the small and large intestine meet. I have been pretty lucky and I hope I can get this...
I am glad you are doing well :) I have also wondered and read about gluten having some effect on crohn's disease...I will have to look for one of those water bottles and try that..and I have ran...
Thank you for your suggestion. I will try that. I have used heating pad with my period and I guess I never thought about it for Crohn's pain. How are you doing? Are you taking any meds now?...
Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I am looking in to that clinical trial and we will see what happens. I wish I could just take the Imuran alone and see what that does because it only cost...
Hi Deakin thank you so much for the thought about the pills. I wouldn't be able to get up there though. Thanks so much that was really nice of you. I have been very fortunate when it comes to this...
Hi Deakin, can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer if you don't want to but do you have insurance that helps pay for your Entocort? I have a crappy COBRA plan that isn't major medical and...

Has anyone had good luck with this drug? I just started it 2 days ago. Thanks!...

Hi Novice Thanks for your reply. I don't know about those probiotics. Some of them are expensive. That pain you are having under your left side below the rib, that is what I have been experiencing...
Hi gumby44...what kind of probiotics do you take? Is there a brand you like? Do they make a real difference for you? Thanks...I saw that "Align" at Walmart with a few other kinds. Some of them are...
