For the past week or so I have been having bloating and a hard stomach throughout the day generally below the belly button and in the left and right quadrants. I am passing normal stools however, so I know nothing serious is going on (currently in remission with Crohn's in Ileum and beginning of...

i use Nordic Naturals Fish Oil it does not have an unpleasant aftertaste and is a reputable brand.

I have been on asacol for a while and feel great. i take it 800mg 3x a day with good probiotic, greens based strong multivitamin ,fish oil, iron , excersise, and complete diet. It can work well if you take it as directed and live a healthy lifestyle. You can't expect good results if you dont...

Thanks, good article

I'm not positive that it is required for every test, but the barium highlights the insides so the pictures come out better. So you might need to have it, but not necessarily.

I had a MRI of the lower abdomen done a few weeks back and had to drink some barium. For my test i had to drink banana flavor and didnt really have a choice in flavor. Had to drink it at the place 1 450ml bottle every 45 minutes, total of 3. During the test i was a bit nauseous but ok. But...

good article thanks

Wow you have been through a lot. I can't relate to all of the things you have gone through, but i do understand being diagnosed at a young age when i was 18 last march (19 now). It is tough to deal with at a young age, but reading your story it seems you have a lot of strength and courage. I...

Hello Chef I am sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. I was also having severe stomach pain and D, and was diagnosed by colonoscopy just this past March. At this point I was just as depressed and desperate as you. I had never even heard of anything called crohn's before. I started on...

I visited the site refresheverything.com/crohnsdisease and it seems pretty legit to me. I signed in with my facebook email and voted for Pepsi to fund $250,000 to Crohn's Disease research being done by Texas Tech University Health Sci Center & The Crohn's Disease Initiative, Inc.

I take Asacol Hd which is pretty much the same as asacol but in higher doses. I take 2 pills *3 times daily which totals to 4800mg (800mg per pill). This medicine never gave me any massive D, but perhaps you are having an adverse reaction to the medicine this can sometimes happen if you look at...

Red meat has a lot of saturated fat which promotes inflammation so it is bad to eat too much of it. It also seems hard for some people to digest. That being said, if you can tolerate it, it is a great source of iron, and putting on weight if you need to. As long as you eat the lean version and...

corn, nuts,seeds, rough skins on fruits, tough to eat raw veggies like broccoli or cauliflower unless steamed or softened somehow.

i know asacol is patented so it is very expensive since there is no generic medicine like it. Maybe the patent is expiring soon? I don't know just an idea...

I think everyone who experiences chronic illness develops fears and anxiety related to their condition. I, too have thoughts off what if this happens, or what if i get sick at school, work, etc. For a long time i was feeling better physcially, but mentally i was still depressed and anxious about...
