i am wondering what peoples views are on this debate!!! the current belief seems to be that crohns is an autoimmune disease causing the body to attack itself. i however, am of a different belief. after lots of research into this, here is my conclusion. please note this is only my opinion amassed...

I guess we're kinda lucky here then. I only have to go to a & e to get admitted

Extremely hard to say how youd ever get back to being the same person because lets face it, your really not the same person anymore. All you can do is remain the best father you can be, keep feeling blessed for the support from your wonderful wife and keep your chin up. With a bit of luck all...

Got that now. Im new to the forum. Thanks sarahbear.

Sorry above post was meant for gj64. Wasnt thinking properly sorry. Thatll be the crohns!!

so sorry to hear that youve been unfortunate enough to end up here with us lot lol. im afraid its time to face the truth. you have a long road ahead of you, especially with diet as noone can tell you EVERYTHING that will affect you as were all different. like AFIDZ i used the elimination diet...

hey, i live in the uk so its free health treatment too but thats no excuse for the way youve been treated. if you are suffering from an inflamation episode ore narrowing it could be vital to your condition that you recieve steroids I.V rather than oral as they are much stronger. preds will help...

sorry just realised you meant smoking, good luck with that

angrybird i think what theyre saying is they can control it with hydroquarterzone for now so why undertake surgery when its not absolutely essential at this time. i only have so much stomach right? and afidz, thanks for your vote of confidence. ive found that knowledge is power. over the years...

hope it gets better soon cause i know how frustrating it can be. take care hun xx

hi angrybird. im glad your like me, i too laugh about it now. it helps sometimes. my friends all understand and join in to an extent. I actually just came out of hospital 2 days ago as i have a stricture midway that inflames every now and then so i get my hydraquarterzone steroids I.V to help...

hey my friend. youd be suprised how much pain simple trapped wind can cause. try some windeze and see what happens. if that doesnt help then maybe your symptom is something new like the beginning of a stricture or narrowing. some new intestinal imflammation maybe. if so then beer wont help but...

misspeeps, ive suffered from crohns for 16 years so i know my shit. i understand your on morphine which may bind you up a little. try to stay away from tramadol or any codiene based pain relief while this is happening. although i wouldnt advise any old laxatives as something too strong could...

dude trust me, ive had crohns for 16 long years and ive been thru it a 1000 times.it seems hard now when people get on your back about why you dont eat this and why you dont eat that. truth is, its none of their business. your most important issue here is your health and your well being. short...
