life with Crohn's, UC, or an ostomy! Hope to see you there!! Courtney ...
I'm slightly confused. I have an ileostomy, so obviously nothing gets into the 6 inches of colon that I have left. Why am I still taking Asacol since it's not disolved in the blood but in the colon?...
The only thing that helped me was hydrocodone. If your doctor won't prescribe you any, maybe you could try just a plain old tylenol because acetominophen (that's probably not spelled right but oh...
