    Hi

    I haven't been around here in like 3 years. I've only had a couple of episodes per year and had been managing pretty well with diet. This week, I have had two episodes. They haven't been the full blown severe episodes that I used to have after eating red meat, but they have been considerable...

    Itchy Hives associated with IBD?

    Hey There, I don't think this is an allergy of any kind because I haven't changed anything in my lifestyle except for the toothpaste that I use. I've tried taking allergy medications but they do not help. About 2 months ago, I noticed I started waking up in the mornings with extra oil on my...

    What Does The Pain Feel Like?

    For me, it feels like waves of pain coming and going, like contractions of some sort. It feels as if something is constricting my stomach so tightly, feels like it's going to explode. My stomach blows up like a balloon. My pain is left, lower side. I have to scream and cry just to deal with it...

    Update (The Battle Isn't Over Yet)

    Put in the hospital a week ago for the explosive pain like last year. This one, I could not handle on my own with medications. I'm still not on proper treatment yet due to no health insurance. I'm closer to that possibility more now than ever because I left the abusive relationship I was in...

    Got A Diagnosis

    OK. So, I received a diagnosis from three different doctors that I have Colitis. They aren't sure what kind, or what has caused it yet, but . . .it is definitely an inflammatory process. FINALLY! Someone gave me some prednisone to have on hand as well as some pain meds in case I have a...

    Brain Lesions and IBD?

    http://ukpmc.ac.uk/abstract/MED/7707814;jsessionid=169F2387AE0E5397DB8859AAF132D021.jvm4 Are my eyes reading this correctly? There are a ton of articles about it saying white matter lesions are present in people they tested with an IBD. Could this mean, that given my current state of...

    Stomach hurts after orgasm

    Does it hurt your stomach when you have sex? Does your stomach hurt after orgasm? I'm just curious because this happens to me, and I wonder if I should mention it to a doctor. It has only started in the last year since the GI problems started.

    Haven't Been Here In Awhile....

    because I thought that if I only eat certain foods and little amounts, that I would be fine....right? WRONG! It apparently will strike whenever it wants to, even when you haven't eaten anything. We just got health insurance through my husband's work. Only thing is, we have to come up with a...

    Life Falling Through My Fingertips
