Hi Everyone! So, I'm in the middle of a flare, started this time last week, I went to emery and I'm pretty sure I had a partial blockage, I'm on prednisone and told to rest. I feel much better but like my usual flares it moves to my knees and it takes awhile for those to calm down. The weird...

Hi Everyone, I'm always curious as to what other people eat with Ibd. I work with a lady that eats lots of stuff I could never eat and vice versa. Today for me, breakfast was 2 coffee and a protein shake. Lunch was leftover roast pork and potato, snack was banana, and dinner was chicken, rice...

Going to therapy and admitting I had issues was one of the best things to happen to me.

So true cmack, I went through many relationships that didn't stick around through the tough times, never worth my good times then.

Is pentasa cheaper in canada?

Thank you so much. Im currently in a flare, was in emerge last night, now starting prednisone. My crohns gets so bad when I don't get proper sleep.

Last year I was told I have gall stones, they don't bother me. I have to be careful with what I'm eating.

cmack, I agree, we are animals too. I also, over the years, feel ok to want to be alone when i'm sick, I have come to terms with that and am ok with it.

This happened to me swell. When i'm sick, I just want to be left alone or atlas have very little people around me. But i also find that when I do have free time, I like to have sometime to myself while healthy. All my friends know I have crohns and know how it is, so if I call them to go out...

Hi! This is a really good post, you really got me thinking. I was diagnosed at 14, so very similar to your son. I went to college and university. I am a school teacher and it's been a great career with managing my health. I am married and have a 7 year old son. I have had flares and my ups and...

Good morning everyone! Question for everyone, last month, a few days before my period started I got a sore lump (lymph node?), under my armpit, as I got my period it went away in a few days. This month the same thing happened, few days before my period a sore lump under my armpit, now it's...

Hi Everyone, Although I have felt all of the above at some point on this journey, the ones affecting me now are uncertainties and telling my son. I have a 7 year old boy that would be devastated and heart broken to see me sick, luckily, when I was sick he was only a baby. I haven't had to...

Update: I went to the dr, she could not feel the lymph node at all so said there isn't anything to worry about. So that was good news. Coincidence, I'm also in a small flare right now too.

Oh I know, I'm fully aware of the impact of animal fat and skin, that's the stupid part. Hopefully lots of liquids and rest will help.

Hi Everyone! Ugh! New Years I tried a small chicken wing with the skin in and boy am I paying for it! I hadn't had a wing with skin in years and thought one small one should be fine. Nope! Im now just doing liquids, see if I can get this under control or make a dr appt.

Oh ok. Whenever i get a partial blockage, i go on a liquid diet only, a lot of hot tea, hot baths, and in bed. I find hot peppermint tea works excellent for me.

If it's that bad, maybe you need to get checked out? I have had obstruction aswell and only pain meds through IV works for relief.

I have had this many times. Peppermint tea works great and walking, it helps get things moving. I've tried gas x aswell and it helps.

Thank you so much! Will definitely keep everyone updated. I see the dr Wednesday morning.

It's so upsetting.
