what a lovely exert of information, many thanks crabby. I wonder if any of these factors get considered even half as much as they should

misty I must conceed that my statement on rna isolation is through many independent studies ive read up on, unfortunately whatever I read, due to the nature of our illness, someone somewhere will read something to counter it. Its my belief that as nothing is concrete with crohns then every...

anything is better than nothing danu. glad to hear it

i guess it interests me because the countries i speak of are at the forfront of medicene and have great state and national health systems. id like to know how some of the less fortunate countries cope with their crohns if indeed they suffer largely from it with regards to surgery, treatments...

you may be correct bergy and i agree. but if you think about just exactly how many types of crohns there are or how many different ways it effects the parts of the body in each individual then it would be fair to say that in theory there could be several different causes which would denote each...

yeah maybe you have a point too. i would like to know though

sorry pasobuff, its just anecdotal obs. i mean almost everyone on this forum and others alike tend to be from one of the 3. although it is just an observation there must be something to it so i just wondered if anyone had information relating to why this may be the case

someone on here earlier made a great point that has slipped my attention before. she asked had i noticed that crohns seemed to be more widespread and prominent in the UK, USA and australia. shes actually got a valid point. i wondered if anyone has any theories or better still, actual facts as to...

im certainly not suggesting that its that simple. im simply suggesting that if you ask enough people, youll see that a lactose free diet has helped them with there symptoms no end. im not saying everyone will benefit. and i do not believe MAP itself is soley responsible for the cause of crohns...

the cocktail of antibiotics had a good result rate but were not proven to be be sustainable over a two year period

i dont think its so much that lactose free milk contains MAP, i think its more that MAP feeds on lactose therefore can breed and strengthen. so if you take away the lactose (MAP's food source) the bacteria will die naturally thus meaning less inflamation and tissue damage when our gut tries to...

that sounds like one for the medical experts. we could guess all day but i think proper medical advicewould be the best route here

you will be sedated for that proceedure and although maybe not the desirable proceedure it is possibly the quickest and most effective way of diagnosing lower obstructions or narrowing.

i would be inclined to say the preds are causing the side effects as its not uncommon and i dont think 55mg on a taper isnt strong enough. it seems like a reasonable dosage for the beginning of a cycle

ok first of all hi. sorry to hear of your predicament. unfortunately there is no way to push your specialists in a particular direction although most of us would have loved that option. if you are diagnosed with crohns then please dont listen to the "plastic professionals", what would they know...

i am not a great lover of humira at all but i know of all the side effects it can cause, constipation is very uncommon umongst its users so i wouldnt readily suggest that as the cause. do you take anything with the humira or have you introduced any new pain relief? i notice you take tramadol...

if cocodamol isnt causing you any grief now then theres a good chance youll be ok with it so if its working then no, do not change it. ive just found a lot of people suffer with this and buscapan but everyone is different. a good site is the obvious, wikipedia but forums such as these are the...

Rifaximin is a favourite julie although combined antibiotics have been used such as, clarithromycin, rifabutin, and clofazimine on a two year period but proved to have no sustained benefits. so far I am finding it very hard to research where the M.A.P is introduced to our body as there seems to...

absolutely julie. great tip on the ibuprofen too. in fact id say steer clear of any codiene based pain relief for now and understand that as effective as tramadol is, it can slow down your stomach and cause constipation. if this happens dont take strong laxatives out of frustration. one 5 mg...

hey sorry to hear youve ended up here with us lot lol. im afraid to say you have a very long road ahead of you now but believe me once you have this mastered it does get easier. the cramping in your lower stomach will be caused purely by your inflamation which may at this time be quite narrow...
