He started back on his Asacol instead of the Lialda and has been fine since!

Hi Melanie! I am new here as well, and I am the wife of a Crohn's sufferer. Sounds like the doctor ordered the correct tests, and your symptoms are a lot like my husband's. He would have diarrhea 2 to 3 times per meal, and on occasion throw up. He got down to 126 pounds and was admitted to...

Thank you so much!

Let's hope so. I haven't been to any checkups with him, but I may go to the next one. I am little more forceful than him.

Thank you Dusty! He just had an appointment and right now he's on a 3 month appointment schedule so it'll be awhile before he has one. I read him a lot of posts from here earlier and he was real interested so I have a feeling he'll be posting on here soon. I think it would help him so much to...

What is 6mp? He said it was something to do with Asacol being taken off the market in the near future or something... I'm really not sure, but I think he's going to have to stick with it for now. He finally took some earlier and improved somewhat. He's not cramping near as bad. He's still...

That's interesting, I will definitely tell him to check into it. Because of pain killer addiction running through his entire family, he stays away from it, but I know today he would have taken almost anything. I have given him Lorcet one time, but he threw it back up not long afterwards. That...

He just had one recently, and it was his doctor's last day, so he'll be switching doctors for his next appointment. He's stubborn and likes to wait it out and see if the pain gets better, despite me urging him to go.

Right now, he's on Lialda, and it's not working. The Asacol seemed to work better. His doctor won't prescribe pain meds, I'm not sure why. He's been pretty bad today, lots of cramps and diarrhea and sleeping. He's miserable.

Yep, there is never a dull moment in my house. It's really hard for my children to understand why Daddy is always so sick, even though I try my best to explain to them that Daddy's tummy doesn't work right, LOL. He was on Prednisone, which he was weaned off of, and he's been on Asacol for...

I'm new here and just browsing the posts... my husband was diagnosed with Crohn's back in March and it's been a terrible road for him and my family (we have 4 kids)... and just reading through these posts breaks my heart. I've been through some pretty bad flareups with him, and just seeing all...

Hello everyone! I'm actually not the Crohn's sufferer, but the wife. My 31 year old husband was diagnosed in March of this year, although we've known he's had it, we just didn't have insurance. He held on as long as he can and was hospitalized 3 days after insurance went into effect. We have...
