Hrm, I sure hope not, David! Appreciate the heads-up about that condition to be sure. :yfaint: I'm booked for bloodwork soon to double-check current D levels, etc. My mom is quite sensitive to supplements (cannot even handle a multivitamin or calcium supplements) and although I can take many...

Hi: Poor you! Been there. Some say that antibiotics are unlikely to help abscesses in that area, so you might not be prescribed antibiotics (it seems to vary based on GI preference / experience). I did not try antibiotics. For me, an increase in my Imuran dose did the trick of getting the two...

Clearly, the arthritis from old age hasn't reached his womanly fingers quite yet, eh, Cat. The typecasting must be SO annoying. Then again, not fitting the mold helped me argue against the likelihood of my having a hemoglobinopathy like sickle cell anemia, lolz. Poor blood cells were...

Hi David: Tried 2 different brands, both liquid per Dr instructions. I'd been taking a lower dose of Vit D in a gummy form for about a year prior so I will return to that once I have a "rest" from the supplements.

I increased my Vit D supplementation in February as levels were low. I proceeded to spend the next 2.5 months throwing up. Figured, eh, it's the Crohn's. It was the Vitamin D. So now I am drinking lots of milk and going out in the sun... ;)

Nooooo! Poor poor you! Take good care and feel better soon.

Good news re. a new drug to try (sorry, a little late to the party on this one) and I hope that you find relief from both your symptoms and the side effects. Just keep taking it a day at a time.

Fingers crossed this works well for you!

Heya! No advice or jokes but a minor bit of commiseration. I realized recently that I'm in a slightly similar situation...except I shouldn't be because I spend all day in the bathroom. The rabbit pellets should have clued me in ages ago. So I've taught my system to not freak out from a little...

Hiya: I have heard of this, but it has not been discussed with me at a GI appointment. That's 1/2 of Part II, so that's the number of selected. :smile:

I'm PADI certified. Only been outdoor diving once (have not had a chance for more yet) and I regularly refresh my skills in a swimming pool -- no gut-related problems during those very limited experiences! Love love love diving. The problem I *did* have when I didn't realize how low my iron...

Hellooooo! Am back from away. CF does not work well on Google Chrome and I haven't had time to log on from elsewhere lately. Welcome to the Imuran club...and so sorry that you've had to resign from your job. Disappointed for you. I hope that Imuran is a really good drug for you. I did have...

Hiya: I threw up daily for 3+ months before diagnosis and being started on medication, and then regularly (a few times per week or more) for another few months after that (the medication wasn't strong enough yet). Vomiting ranged from 6 times to 30 times per day during that 3 months. Still...

Sauerkraut-filled perogies. I thought they were potato and cheddar. Big oops.

Oh Jen poor you and I hope you get this worked out!

Love ginger for nausea. I keep some in my purse at all times (usually caplets).

I had bloodwork done in December. My GP's office called *today* to ask me to come in and discuss low Vitamin D. This is a first for me. In addition to discussing what happened to cause an unacceptably long delay, I'll be interested to see what my levels are and how long it will take to get them...

Doing well, thanks! It's nice to catch up a bit again with the CF (and you in particular); things have been Hectic. I don't live in chaos -- it's against every one of my priorities -- so I am glad to have managed to get things back to their usual slow and easy pace. Fish sauce is totally...

No, nothing, not even when I was having episodes every 60-90 mins of being on the floor screaming in pain. I'm terrified of the next time this happens! (And plan to visit Emerg. Oh, to be armed with knowledge. I was told Emerg is only for life-threatening situations...nope, screaming in pain...

Eek, out of touch again, many apologies. I hope that your mother is doing well now (or at least trending toward better), and you too! Chilli jam sounds amazing.
