    SCD Diet?

    I tried this and came off all medication, unfortunately for me I went into the biggest flare I had ever had. The SCD was fantastic at first....my symptoms cleared, but once my medication was out of my system then the diet alone could not handle it. I think a combination of both would have been...

    Fistulas??

    I am feeling so down and confused by my latest colonoscopy results! They have said....my Crohn's is no longer just in my terminal ileum, it has now spread to my colon. Is this common? They have said my treatment (humira) is not working so they are going to look into what I can try next. They...

    What are you grateful for today?

    Retirement must be a wonderful blessing, you must be so strong to have worked without a diagnosis, it's hard enough working when we know our condition is demanding a day off, nevermind knowing we need the day off but not knowing why, it must have been agonising for you. I find life's...

    What are you grateful for today?

    Ahh one good thing about IBD....it teaches us to be grateful for the small things! My mum says she always enjoys when I moan about putting on too much weight because it means I must be doing okay! It must be wonderful to be retired so that you can truly relax, and use your own toilet, my gosh...

    Colonoscopy results- help please!

    Thank you for the reply. Ahh! So nothing has improved, I remember from my first colonoscopy they said they couldn't operate because the disease was everywhere. Do you know what the polyploid growth could be? From my understanding they removed polyps during the colonscopy, is a polyploid growth...

    What are you grateful for today?

    It's easy to get weighed down when we suffer from Crohn's and the symptoms it's brings....so...what are you grateful for today? Stress is my trigger, and work is my stressor, so today I am grateful for my amazing fiancée. He looks after me everyday, and tries his best to understand what I am...

    Colonoscopy results- help please!

    Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea of what the proximal TC means, the polyploid growth with similar lesions, or what the TI opening is? I am so lost with all of this language. I was only referred for my second colonscopy by my specialist recently, they didn't seem to think I've needed...

    UC and swollen painful ankles

    Hi there! Sorry to hear this. I have Crohn's disease and I often have the same problem in my right ankle...I have had numerous scans and tests but they can't find anything. The best thing I ever used was a compression sock, it works absolute wonders! Other than that...plenty of fluids, keeping...

    Colonoscopy results- help please!

    Hi all :) I have had Crohn's Disease for 13 years and I have just had my second colonscopy today (definitely not enough sedation used, and I was sick twice, so I'm just chilling on the sofa now to recover) anyway, my last colonscopy was to diagnose me so this one was to see how the disease is...

    Why does needing a wee make me poop?

    Hi everyone! Just after a bit of advice or info really from fellow chronies as I think this is a bit of a strange one, and I don't know if I'm the only one out there with this problem! Well I've had crohns for ten years, I'm always in a level of some type of inflammation but it's manageable...

    Confused about my blood test results!

    Hi everyone :thumright: I'm a little confused about my latest blood results. To start, I'm never in remission, only once have I ever had zero inflammation and that was when I first started humira, other than that I've always had some type of daily reminder that I have crohns! But the last few...

    Hi everybody! I hope you're all having a chilled out weekend. I'm 26 and I have crohns and I just want to know......how do you all cope with those cringe worthy moments? First of all there's the little things like the gurgling of the tummy in quiet rooms...I try to just laugh it off when...
