    Steroids advice

    Hello and welcome to the forum! If the doctor recommends going on a short regime of steroids and I were in your shoes...I'd go for it. Prednisone is a very powerful fast acting drug and will bring the bleeding under control very quickly. I know they list all these side effects but not one...

    Newly Diagnosed (?) Help

    That's kind of a tough one to answer as I know some doctors prefer you only to take what they prescribe. That being said though, my doctor prescribes Imodium for me and I also take Gravol/anti-nausea over the counter meds, but I always mention them on my list of drugs for the doctor to see.

    Newly Diagnosed (?) Help

    Hello Bojax and welcome to the forum. Sorry I can't answer your Insurance question.. and I'm not sure what treatment the doctor wanted to start you on that would mask whatever it is you have during a colonoscopy. Best thing to do now is to get the colonoscopy as it will give you a definite...

    Hi Dan and welcome to the forum! I am on Asacol as well...same dosage in fact. it is usually given as a maintenance drug when not in a flair or you are in remission. Usually Crohn's is not diagnosed with an upper GI test.. I suggest you go back to your doctor and tell him/her just what you...

    Worried about my brother

    Hello and welcome to the forum! Your family most certainly has a family history of Crohn's! I am so sorry to hear your brother is having a bad time of it. Perhaps your GI would send him for a second opinion to another doctor? You must be very worried and frustrated. Here is the link to our...

    Astra's daughter in the hospital..

    Joan, sometimes we have to be a bit strict with them when it's for their own good. But I am so pleased to see she is coming along nicely and when they start to show their feisty attitude you know they are on their way to recover. ;-) Big hugs to you both!

    Newly diagnosed in Ireland
