Ugh. I have a job interview in 16 hours, and the gurgling from my ileum is unbelievable. I guess I'll follow the recommendations elsewhere in this thread -- peppermint tea, Tums, Beano, Gas-X ... perhaps some ginger? I really hate this :voodoo:

:-) Not exactly, no -- but good to know, anyway. I've been taking it before bed, but now I'll be sure to have a bit of food along with.

Has anyone taking 6MP experienced loss of appetite and queasiness? I've been on 6MP (100mg/day) for 6 weeks and this began about a week ago. There could be other contributing factors, such as having begun to taper down on Effexor (anti-depressant), but wondered if anyone had experienced this...

Gastroenterologist said B-12 deficiency extremely unlikely, as I have not had a re-section. Thanks for the various links - will read and then schedule appointment with my GP.

Hi, Over the past 6-12 months I've been noticing partial numbness along outer edges of my feet, near the toes. Gradually this numbness has spread to all toes, and sometimes there's a burning sensation from the outside of the small toe. I didn't think it could be related to Crohn's until...

It's not like I'm anxious to have surgery, but if a re-section would alleviate the gurgles, that would be a "plus". Meantime, I'll just have to mash my forearm into my side and hope for the best!

I've read several comments here about 6MP and feelings of extreme fatigue or "brain fog". I am on day 3 of 100mg, and am feeling -- well, funny. I don't know if it's power-of-suggestion or not. I wouldn't call it fatigue, exactly, more just mentally absent, like what I'd really be most...

Arggh - yeah, it's the comments that bug me more than anything else.

Hi, I frequently get loud gurgling sounds from a very specific place in my abdomen: on the right side just below my ribcage. I assume it has to do with my Crohn's. It's not painful, just annoying (and LOUD). I don't know if it's gassiness (but then again, how else could it be making...

I didn't realize that I was getting "unsatisfying" breaths of air until I began doing yoga about 6 months ago. I'm not sure if I can correlate it to my Crohn's or not. I smoked until 5 years ago. But recently I have noticed that I've gained the ability to draw a deep, satisfying breath, and I...

I've tapered from 40mg to zero in about 6 weeks each of the five-six times I've had to go on pred. No moon face. Extra energy that ranges from feeling revved up, to impatient, to downright angry. Still, worth it - it makes the aching bloated feeling go away, in about two weeks.

Thanks, Hobo and Inky, for sharing your hopeful experiences. Yes, I forgot about the fact that the Crohn's treatment calls for lower dosages than does cancer treatment. I really appreciate the support. Chap

Hello folks, Back again after being briefly canceled as a spam account :ybatty: Went to my gastro guy a few days ago, after a flare that put me in the ER a week ago. He explained that the CT scans showed scarring and inflammation in an approx. 9" length of small intestine leading to the...
