I do have cravings for salty foods and am thirsty lots...

It seems to have upset me in my last flare up and I'm scared to try it again.

I was on 2 pills every morning. But my GI doc upped the dose to 3; and I was getting horrible joint pain in my knees and bruising too! Also there was the whole "brain fog" and poor memory.. I lowered my dose back to just 2 pills and all my problems are gone.

I had an abscess about 5 years ago. It was on the inner butt cheek to the right. Was quite painful and everything. Was sent to emergency by my family doctor to get it lanced. This was about 4.5 years before my diagnosis with crohns. Anyways it was quite disgusting. And I had to take sitz baths...

Yeah I do feel kinda weird right after I take it. And I feel like utter crap before I take it; especially if I don't take it on time. And I have these weird bruises on my knees that won't go away. On the insides of my knees... almost like my knees are knocking in my sleep. And my knees ache a...

Where do you buy those? I've only ever seen the little 6 pack plastic bottles.

My experience with gum has been mixed. Mint gum has sometimes controlled the nausea... But fruity sweet gum always results in stomach cramps n the works.

Hmm just an update. I'm on my 3rd week of pred. My crohns seems to he better. A few days here and there I still feel the discomfort in the stomach abdomen area. Cramping etc. I still have a fair amount of gas; but nowhere near the amounts I had before where I could feel the pressure until I...

Which ensure are you taking about? As far as I can tell there are juices and shakes. The juices are not the most appetizing. But I kinda like the vanilla and butter pecan flavours. The strawberry and orange are ok. But the chocolate, vanilla and pecan butter are pretty tasty... I don't like the...

I totally get where your whole not the same person. I think I'm in remission myself; but I'm tapering down on the pred (20mg now?) and I can feel the changes. It's tough. I'm physically better because I take pills; but those same pills have such soul gutting effects. Again; it's tough. But I...

Secondly how does one find a homeopathic doctor?

I've read on here some pretty nasty things about prednisone. I'm kinda scared, worried and upset with how things are going. Also the Dr said that a simple resection is not possible because the duodenum is a very delicate and intricate part of the GI tract... Such a procedure would involve a...

Ok so in an update to My story I've been let off work a second time now, my specialist has narrowed my main problem area to a stricture and inflammation of the duodenum, I've continued to loose weight, been prescribed prednisone and am being strongly pressured by my mother to peruse homeopathic...

Yeah I think it has got worse over time. Its been better since that month and a half off work. Though more often then not I'm just tired n cranky now lol!! I tried to get a food diary going but just never really stuck too it.

I take Pentasa twice a day. 4 pills at a time. The 5ASA is 500mg a pill. So thats 4g a day. The Tecta is 30mg a pill and twice a day as well. If I have bad nausea I occasionally take domperidone. Though I don't like it. It seems to when combined with the other 2 pills really slow my digestion...

My stress comes from me worrying about what food is safe. And from work; I work in an automotive dealership with often unpredictable customers. Also if those around me get stressed, it tends to rub off on me.
