I have been in flare for almost 2 years. Once, about a year and half and ago, I quit, and check this out: Within 24 hours, I was down to about 1 solid BM a day....formed, clean, that would make an 8-year old boy proud. But I was an idiot. I started to feel good again, and when I feel good, I...

Thanks for all the replies... so....based on others' experiences, is it unreasonable or atypical for me to say that I've had a "flare" for over a year?

I've been spending all morning doing Crohn's research since I'm not feeling well, and kind of depressed about it and all, it occurred to me that I've never really understood what a "flare" means when I see it referenced. Is a flare when you when you have a sudden urge -- to go, and that's the...

Not even sure anymore. Could have started 10 years ago and I never even realized it? More frequent and looser BM's and I probably just chalked it up at the time to too much coffee or beer or something I ate. But not a huge deal, came and went sporadically and I never thought much about it. Then...

Hi JettaLady, and thanks --- curious about you have to say about Questran. Right now, I'm more interested in less chemicals instead of more, but this one that I never heard of this one, my GI has never mentioned it, but I just looked it up and it sounds like it might be right up my alley based...

Hi Dexky -- no, he put me back on Asocol when I tapered off the prednisone the first time. In fact, when I went to see him, and told him I wasn't taking it while ON the prednisone, he looked at me and said, "I think we had a failure to communicate." I know he never told me to keep taking it...

Greetings and salutations everyone. I'm tapped into the the hospital's wireless network here, and got Internet access here on my 2nd day and found this forum while doing more half-assed google searches on Crohn's disease+diet, CD+fiber, CD+blood, CD+natural remedies, you get the idea. Here is...
