Hello! I was wondering if anyone taking 6mp has had any problems with 6mp causing thrush or yeast infections? Thanks!

sweet potato agony has anyone had any problems with sweet potatoes? my husband had some over the thanksgiving holiday and is now in agony!

but no one can figure out what it is, it's just a symptom of crohn's? weird. This disease is seriously a pain. My heart goes out to you guys. I don't know you personally but I feel like giving you all huge hugs if you are experiencing anything close to what my husband is going through. keep...

thanks, would kidney stones show up in the 9 million scans he has had done in the last 6 months? I wouldn't think so because they have all been of hi intestines but you never know!!

Okay guys, when you urinate does it hurt? My husband has just informed me that when he flares or before and after a flare he feels pressure or pulling on his bladder and occasionally a light burning sensation during urination. His scans do not show a fistula by the bladder. Is this something...

Thanks guys, sorry I didn't post a reply. We have been on a golf retreat this weekend and this is the first time I have had access to my computer. I talked to the GI office yesterday and they want him to start taking entocort again until his follow up appointment on the 24th. I guess he was...

what could happen if you don't? I hate our GI doctor.

okay, so my husband just finished a round of entocort (I don't remember the dosage, I know that's terrible) he was taking three pills ever day for a month. Is he supposed to be tapering his doses until he is weaned off of it? I talked to a different nurse today and she was surprised that he was...

thanks guys, he is feeling better. Still a little sore but on the mend. He didn't eat much yesterday. I think some watermelon and cream of wheat was all he could tolerate. How do you stay nourished like this? I do agree that some things don't seem to bother him one day and and a few weeks later...

He said it felt different then his usual flare tenderness so I didn't question it. I try to give him the benefit of the doubt, he is a big boy! :) I am so tired of trying to figure out what this guy can eat. So far it seems like nothing. I have been trying the specific carb diet but not as...

Okay, since I'm not the one with Crohn's, I don't always know the ins and outs of this disease. My husband just finished a round of entocort and was feeling pretty good maybe a little tender in his usual flare site but nothing that he thought was anything to complain about. Anyway, he cheated...

Well, my husband is the one with Crohn's but I'll fill you in on what he does. He manages a construction company during the week and is a part time police officer one or two nights a week and on the weekends. I am currently in nursing school so he is working extra hours to help pay for tuition...

I'm not sure if he is ready for the "thriller" joke just quite yet. I'll give him a few more weeks to assimilate first. He is starting to turn the corner (I hope, my fingers are crossed). Thanks so much you guys for all your help. I was also wondering...did anyone notice a difference in their...

haha, no not yet! It's only been three weeks since he has been on the meds. I'm pretty sure brain eating doesn't start until the 5th week of therapy.

is anyone taking mercaptipurine right now? My husband has been on it for three weeks now (75 mg/day) and he is so tired he can barely function. It's hard for him to think straight and have the energy to work. Once he is home he just sleeps. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem.

thanks guys Thanks for all your replies. We got the results and the perf has resolved itself and we are now back on entocort and on the road to recovery!! My hubby has been living off of Ensure (the lactose free kind) for a few days now and seems to be turning around. Anything with dairy is...

Hi, my name is Cara and I am new to this whole "disease" thing. My husband was diagnosed with Crohn's in May of this year and our life has been turned upside down. He was a very active person up until a year ago. His health has taken a downward turn since last summer when his first flare up...
