Maybe try something like metamucil which can bulk up the stools if they are bothering you.

Yes, its been happening a lot lately. My rbc and hemoglobin are both borderline (low end of normal) and my iron is at the very low end of normal. I seem to be okay in the warm but over sensitive to the cold. When I am cold my nail beds turn purple. Also happens if i dont get enough sleep.

Yes, I have small windows or gaps between the nails. Assuming you are rerring tje the schamroth test.

So its confirmed. My GI confirmed that I do have slight clubbing. He didnt say anything after that other than they have probably always been clubbed since my diagnosis in 2001 and they will not go back to normal but will also not get worse as long as my crohns is controlled. I guess since I...

Yea, you can see that is definitly clubbing. Looks a lot different than mine. Maybe i just have fat finger tips from typing on a keyboard all day., lol.

Its tough to explain how they look. I cant get a picture on here because the file is to big. Its like my finger pads are larger but the nail is totally normal. They do not curve down or anything.

I have a real odd question? Does anyone have clubbed fingers due their Crohn's Disease? I am not talking about the crazy clubbing that you see pics of online but very mild changes. Its difficult to explain. There is a test called a schamroth window test. All my fingers have some type of...

How high was your calcium level? Did the doctor say anything about it?

I am really not sure. No one can figure it out and I just had the worst sarcoidosis scare possibly. Supposedly high calcium that is not pth related is likely sarcoidosis. I had a full body gallium scan and it showed no sarcoid. I don't think it's from the medications. Maybe it's from the...

Has anyone ever had high levels of calcium in there blood?
