Hi Sharkgirl. I've had many people act that way throughout my life. Something similar happened to me when I had my first resection. My boyfriend at the time wasn't very understanding and just continued hanging out with his friends and not really being very supportive of me. We didn't stay...

How did you test go charg994?

How are you doing now PixieGirl? Have you tried different spices to see if anything perks your appetite a bit?

Definitely your GI and you could have a Dietitian as well since they are more knowledgeable than a Nutritionist and are an actual health professional with a college degree. Keep us posted on how you're doing with your diet and good luck to you. :)

The way you're pronouncing it is correct. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/crohn-s-disease

Hi ajnc and welcome to the forum! :) If it is something more serious like Crohn's or UC then the good thing is that both are treatable. Also new treatments are coming out all the time if the idea of certain medications concerns you. There are so many things that can cause your symptoms so I...

Crohn's was named after Burrill Bernard Crohn who was a GI doctor. It's already possessive. Maybe rewording it to, "No aspect of my life was left untouched, and my loving relationship with food unraveled as I experienced the all-encompassing impact of Crohn's," or something like that. I'm no...

Sorry for the late reply LostInNY. Did you have a biopsy done near the submucosal lesion? Enlarged liver or kidney could be medication or IBD related. What tests did you have done to show the enlargement? Here's some reading regarding IBD and the "biliary system"...

Hello Gilaray and welcome to the forum! :) I'm sorry to hear that you're still having problems after starting Humira. :( How long have you been taking it and how often do you get injections? Some people have had their injection times increased due to similar issues. I'd ask other members about...

Are you able to contact them ahead of time? They may be able to give you better instructions on how to clean out for the scope. If you have an open wound then I imagine that the prep the day before is going to be extremely painful. Be sure to touch bases with them before prep day. *HUGS*

Hope the pathology report shows nothing of note. Keep drinking fluids if that's allowed right now. That will help to keep things moving along with moving about. Hang in there! :)

Welcome to the forum lorij. :) We have many members who continue working and manage their disease and appointments as well. We understand the need for income and health insurance all too well yet sometimes we do see members who wind up needing to go on disability etc because their disease...

Hope your surgery went well lgpcarter. :) For me it took about three months to start feeling normal again but I also had complications after surgery so hopefully your recovery won't be quite as long. :)

Did your talk to your doctor Badtummy4? If they were already aware of the tear then I imagine that's why they wanted to do a scope to see if there was anything else going on. If they aren't aware of it then they need to know just in case. I haven't heard anyone mention that they weren't able to...

I do not see it listed as a possible side effect on any reputable sites. I only saw it mentioned as a possible side effect on one website but I don't know how trustworthy that information is. Are you on any steroids currently as well? Those are known to affect your BG. Sometimes even our diet...

Welcome to the forum mdithrich! :) I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with so much pain for so long. It's really hard to say if it could be Crohn's because it mimics so many other illnesses. When you had scopes done they should have taken biopsies and those results can take a while to...

Took a while to try and figure out what was wrong. Had a lot of tests done. Almost needlessly, at least one showed I had osteopenia even if that wasn't what we were looking for. Good to know though. Anyway, apparently the problem isn't with me it was the lab I was going to. My B12 recently was...

Good luck with the hearing afidz. :) I finished with my mental exam. The lady I saw was really nice. The doctor at the physical exam was all business though so I'm not sure how things will go. Now I play the waiting game. Worst game ever when your only income is on the line.
