Thanks for the input, beave! My case isn't too bad lately so I was thinking of looking at some internal medicine docs since Nashville is about an hour away (and I have a baby to tote along!), but if...
We're moving to the Clarksville, Tennessee area. Does anyone have doctor recommendations for Crohn's?...
I've been having hemorrhoids for a few months now almost continually. I'll have maybe a day or two of feeling less of the effects then they flare up again! I've tried sitting in a bath of 2 cups of...
Ok, here goes round 2! (with additional water!)...
Also, just noticed it says to drink 32 oz. of additional WATER. I've been drinking other clear liquids, but not water. Does that matter???...
Thanks guys! It's not going to bad. I got the Suprep down in about 5 min. but it worked so fast that I didn't get all my fluids down in an hour. I'm a little concerned about my next dose in the...
I should have posted sooner, but hopefully I'll still get some replies. I start at 6 pm (central) on my first ever Suprep. My doctor gave me instructions saying nothing about drinking the 32 oz of...
Wow... this kind of sounds like a mixed bag on opinions! I just got back from my GI and was told to get Suprep for my colonoscopy and decided to look at reactions on here. I'm still not sure what to...
My husband and I are getting ready to go to Washington D.C. and I'm not having much luck with researching gluten-free restaurant options. We'll be between the downtown area and the Navy Yard and...
I heard there are new gluten free Betty Crocker mixes. Does anyone know if they are also dairy free? Thanks!...
Actually, my doc has added cutting gluten out of my diet as well! It's a big change and a struggle, but I'm learning how to do it slowly....
Thanks for all the replies everyone! As of now I'm supposed to completely cut dairy out of my diet for a month. No exceptions! So I can't try certain dairy foods that are not as bad for lactose...
This sounds discouraging! Guess I already knew there wasn't much out there though! Kazbern, I have to go back for a follow-up on July 28th. I'm hoping it's complications from taking a calcium...
Up until now I've never had problems with dairy, but lately I've been having stomach problems so my doctor wants me to try going off of dairy completely. What are some suggestions of what I can eat...
My husband and I would like to start a family soon and I'm technically underweight. I've read several times that being underweight can make it 4x's harder to conceive so, strange question to most,...
Glad to hear that you stayed in remission during your pregnancy, Myrne! I hope your flare after giving birth wasn't too bad and you were able to get healthy again quickly to enjoy your new baby....
Thanks for all the help, everyone! Looking around the forum I'm glad to see so many that have had successful pregnancies :)...
Hey guys! My husband and I were thinking of starting a family soon and I was wondering if anyone knew if you could continue meds while pregnant. I'm on Delzicol, Welchol, Imuran, Humira, and Rowasa....
Thanks for sharing! I think I'll do that too....
Obscure One- Yes, they do have the red coating. They honestly look exactly like Asacol except they're blank instead of having print on them. That's why I thought I might be able to just take them out...
Hey guys! Since they stopped making Asacol, my GI switched me to Delzicol capsules. I sometimes have a hard time swallowing them and I noticed that if you open them up it's a pill that looks exactly...
I got a second opinion from a doctor I had before I moved a few years ago and he said that as long as it wasn't giving me problems, to eat it. Since it's a good source of protein I'd be fine. If I...
That's what I was thinking at first, especially with raw sushi and raw oysters... but I'm not sure how cooked shellfish would be bad for me. He said fish was fine to eat, just not shellfish or raw...
When I visited my gastro yesterday he said, "Now just a reminder, stay away from sushi and shellfish." I'd never heard that before so I asked him why and he rambled on awhile about different things,...
Anyone? :confused:...
My husband and I just moved to Panama City Beach, FL and I'm trying to find a good doctor. Does anyone live or used to live in the area that could give a recommendation or a warning of bad docs?...
I agree, it's just difficult to talk about. He does know some details, and he's already done some research on his own. He just doesn't know what part of it affects me and how. I appreciate all your...
I'm getting ready to go on an 8 day vacation with my boyfriend. He knows I have Crohn's, but I don't think he knows the extent of it all. On top of that, we're staying with his grandparents who I...
I was wondering if anyone had this condition. I've always been bothered by these little bumps on my legs and upper arms, not ever knowing what was wrong with me. I just ran across page and instantly...
Ok, well I've sort of talked to a doctor and I think I'll be off the prednisone soon. So... let me ask you guys this. Is it ok to drink while taking Humira, Colasal, and Imuran? Once off the pred....
Alright, thanks everyone....
I take ten milligrams of prednisone, and have for awhile. My question was if anyone knows of negative effects of alcohol with prednisone. My friend and I were going to go out, but she asked if there...
I agree! I think the pens hurt a lot worse than the syringes. I had to do the pens on my own because that's what I was sent in the mail (Mine are sent to me). At the doc office I used a syringe and...
Does anyone else have a numbness in the tip of their fingers? I've had this problem for awhile and thought it might go away, but it hasn't. I'm on Asacol, Humira, Imuran, Prednisone, and iron so I...
I just finished off a bottle of the V8 Fusion Tropical Orange and it wasn't too bad. I like things really cold so I put a little ice in it and it tasted better in my opinion....
I've been on Humira for several months but never had this happen until the past week. Since Remicaid and Humira are similar maybe it is a side effect of the medicine. I did have more of them, but...
Ok, I'm not sure how to describe this, but I'll give it my best shot. Inside my labia I have small sores, like maybe blood blisters??? and they're painful. It hurts to wipe after peeing and most of...
