    Unknown (as yet) viral infection

    🤗 to Tesscorm and Thanks to Maya142 for your helpful info. I sure hope they get everything sorted out for S. Not a fun way to be spending the summer. It can be a bit scary having the eyes affected.

    Unknown (as yet) viral infection

    So sorry you are still waiting for some help. I have another couple of goodies for you--I can't remember if I mentioned them on here before or not. First one--about 2 years ago I get a call from my son who is living in another province, "Mom, my face is all droopy." "What do you mean exactly"...

    Unknown (as yet) viral infection

    What a bummer. Sorry to hear S is having a tough time. I hear you on the no GP, different walk-in clinics, etc, and giving all the details to Mom so Mom can sort it all out. It is so hard when they are this age and they don't have all the professionals in place that we think they should. Then...

    On EEN, how long does it take to go into remission?

    From the scope I had after the four months, I had complete mucosal healing, but I don't think I had started to eat food yet. Most studies have shown that, just like stopping prednisone (if that is what put someone into remission) the symptoms will return when the treatment is stopped. So EEN is...

    Spine fusion surgery

    Hi Tesscorm, You sure have been dealing with that pain for a very long time. How are you managing it now? I think I mentioned this before, but acupuncture and/ or IMS could be very helpful to treat the secondary problems of muscle spasm and imbalance resulting from the problem. And you never...

    Heard from Doc today

    Thanks CIC Unfortunately access to dieticians with IBD/IBS knowledge is limited here unless you get the IBD diagnosis and access to the IBD team. That being said, he did see a private Monash-certified dietician who also works with the IBD team and has Crohn's herself. Also unfortunately, as per...

    Health coverage in British Columbia, new immigrant

    Here is a link so you can do a BC Formulary Search: https://pharmacareformularysearch.gov.bc.ca/faces/Search.xhtml When I did it, it said the maximum they would cover would be $1,036.9380, 60 days, for 100mg vial of Remicade. The unit number says "each". Not sure if that helps or not. There is...

    On EEN, how long does it take to go into remission?

    You won't want to hear this, but for me it was four months of VivonexPlus exclusively. Then when I started eating on a full elimination diet, I flared badly enough that I had to go back on formula for two weeks. It still took me a good six months after that to get some energy back and I would...

    Non-IBD, non-celiac reasons for bleeding, villi blunting, in young adult?

    I have just been over reading some the articles posted on this thread: https://crohnsforum.com/threads/heard-from-doc-today.35732/page-10 and I followed some of the links, including getting to this article that summarizes the research on several of the diets used to treat IBD...

    Heard from Doc today
