    BM after surgery

    Last Friday I had surgery under a general anaesthetic to drain a perianal abscess. Prior to this I had regular properly formed 1-2 BM's a day. One pretty much first thing in the morning. It's now Thursday and every morning I have D first thing in the morning and occasionally later in the day...

    Playing the waiting game

    Sooo. In November I was feeling really good. I saw my Doctor and as I had been this way for a while he decided to send me for a colonoscopy to make sure it wasn't a false positive. After that I slowly went downhill and when I had the colonoscopy they found I had a stricture in my small bowel...

    Breakfast suggestions

    Hi guys, I just wanted to ask as no matter what I do for breakfast every work day I feel ill for a while in the morning. It always kicks in after I get to work. It didn't used to be the case, but has started happening lately since my Imuran morning dose was increased (only by half a tablet...

    Passing blood

    Hi guys, I'm just a bit scared at the moment. I have suffered constipation on and off with my Crohn's and have been under a lot of stress over the last couple of days so it's been pretty bad. Last night I passed blood instead of stool and it happened once again this morning. After that I did...

Every time I get over emotional or stressed it automatically translates it to "you're feeling sick". So I'm...

    My Diacol experience

    Hi guys, Just went through my second colonoscopy (yay?), but this time I was offered Diacol for my prep. As I was taking it I noticed that there didn’t seem to be any personal experience information out there on it that seemed to marry up with my experience. I found this stressful as I found it...

    Family issues

    I feel like the most selfish person in the world, but I just can’t do it anymore. I feel the need to preface this by saying that I love my family. And I know that they love me too. But I just can’t handle it anymore. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s just over a year ago and for a short bit it was...

    Question - Food tolerance change of onset of symptoms

    Hi guys, It’s been a while since I posted here. I was diagnosed at the beginning of September last year, but started becoming sick back in April before then. I’ve had to give up so many different foods I loved and I’m finding it strange that I could eat/drink with no problems and then it...

    Hi Guys!

    Hi guys, My story really began back in March/April this year. I started feeling sick all the time and getting stomach pains. I went to my GP who sent me for a couple of tests where the ultrasound diagnosed me with a gallstone that wasn’t an issue as it hasn’t done any of the evil things...
