just wanted her to know I am thinking about her....
Bennie, I am so sorry. There are no words to try an comfort you this huge loss, (((((((((((gentle hug precious one))))))))))))))....
I started eating the shelled sunflower seeds after reading this post about a weeks ago. I am amazed at the positive affects. I was scared to eat the seeds originally (last year when these posts first...
I am so so so sooo sorry Christine. ((((((((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))))))))))))))))) Have you tried eating sunflower seeds? I know thats weird, but it is really helping me....
I don't know either. For a year the docs told me my blood was from internal hemmies, until I got a sig scope and they discovered otherwise. Even now when I have blood my doctor says it could be from...
the pain feels more like a bruise than sharp pain. And of course I keep pressing it, does it still hurt? is it still there? ugghh...
praying today....
I popped in to see if there was an update. Praying...
praying here ((((((((((((((((((((((big hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))) My husband prayed for him too. hug hug hug...
I tried rice crackers with sunflower butter, almonds, and organic chicken and rice soup. plus peppermint tea or tension tamer tea....
It helps for certain types of cramps. It doesn't do anything for me for my UC pain, but it helped the IBS cramps that would literally make me puke. It helps the ones that come, grip, then go, come,...
the same happens for me. I really stock up on the probiotics afterwards....
I had that too. I was afraid it wouldn't end, but it did end, and I did feel better. (((((((((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))))))))))))))))) I know this is a lot to take in right now. There is happy...
I am having pain in my chest, but I can't tell if its the breast or one spot between the ribs. I saw my GYN and she checked it out and said she felt nothing but rib there, and then scheduled me for a...
NMcP which clinic do you go to? I am in the Seattle area....
I think you need to colonscopy too. BUT I think you are ok. I am not sure how long I had the disease either before I got treated. I know it was severe when it finally got diagnosed, and no lasting...
where do you find yeast free tortillas? I have looked everywhere....
oooh you are in the beginnings of a flare, after being in remission for 2 years. I think you are going to be ok. you are not on a high dose of the asacol. Some people have luck increasing their dose...
yes I do. I think you are ok. But why are you worried?...
I have the same thing on 3 lialda. In fact going down to 2 changes it for me....
why are you afraid something is wrong?...
Nick, you won't mistake them. I figure if I can't tell right off the bat then I am not going to worry about it. The only time I am not sure is if its mostly mucus and I can't tell if it's tinged with...
I am seeing more people switching to a new asa, and I am wondering how lialda compares with it. It's the 2nd medicine they put me on, the first one (asacol) gave me horrific cramps and bleeding. I am...
I just tried oatmeal 2 days ago, and my intestines completely halted! They were like "whhhhats thissss?" Freeze. Sometimes my flares start with constipation, I have no idea why....
I have questions about the blood too. I feel kind of embarrassed being so graphic (I know I shouldn't, it's just there for some reason), but here is my experience. I take meds every day. I get blood...
where does the walk begin?...
My mom has been in remission for years with 6mp. I hope it helps you too!...
does your hair fall out on the lialda? When I go to 4 my hair starts falling out like crazy, but I can tolerate 3 just fine. weird!...
Thanks for all of your encouragement. One thing that makes this so hard is that there is no one to talk with. I have a lot of "is this normal" questions. The blood freaks me out, and it's a...
I can't imagine how the enemas will work... I mean I have used them for scopes, but they brought on the worst bleeding ever (ie:insertion) When I go up to 4 lialda I start losing tons of hair. I am...
I lost weight on it too, until about 10 weeks into it. That's when a lot of the side affects hit me....
Kind of along the lines of my blood topic. How often do you have mucus or blood? bloating or cramps? Is your remission completely without any symptoms? Do you always have a few symptoms, but they are...
I feel like I am still coming to grips that I have this disease. I still can't believe it, and it has been a year next month that I got diagnosed. I was curious if other people have blood, and how...
I take canasa as well. I don't think I will ever use prednisone again unless it's to save my life, literally....
I have had this too. Sometimes eating made it worse....
Hi again. I got diagnosed with this in August. I am on 3 lialda a day. I started having some blood the beginning of May, then nothing for 2 weeks, and now 7 days of it. I feel very discouraged. I...
I am on 3 Lialda a day, just came down from 4. It has been fine for me!...
(((((((((((((Big hug))))))))))))))))))))) I hope you feel better for your trip....
Thank you for asking :) I responded on the original panicked thread. The Pediatrician feels like the blood was from her being constipated. She has her on miralax and wants to check her in a month....
((((((((((((((((big hug Paul))))))))))))))))))...
(((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))))))WOW buddy! Hope things get easier. I prayed for you....
You are so sweet Jen (((((((((((big hug)))))))))))) I appreciate the kind words and prayers. This board had a lot of amazing people, and has been a huge blessing to me....
I took her in today and based on her symptoms the pediatrist was not very concerned!! She thinks its small tears, or fissures. We reassess in a month. It was just a relief to have a doctor not so...
I think remission? Congrats!...
hope you are doing ok, and healing well....
My 12 yr old daughter has had some blood in her bowel movements. She had blood once in August, just on the toilet paper, and pain with the bm, like it was a fissure or tear. It happened again in...
The probiotic is F. prausnitzii but I can't find it anywhere. Any one hear of this? http://www.ccfa.org/reuters/probiotic Probiotic may help control Crohn's disease Last Updated: 10/20/2008 NEW YORK...
How long have you been with the new doctor?...
WOW!...
I like my doctor too. Have you been with yours the entire time? I was at a different place and the gastro misdiagnosed me for a year. It has been a process!! In fact today I got a bill from the first...
