Yes it is the flagyl! Some people get it more than others but being loose is far better than being constipated. I have been on Flagyl (250mg a day) for years, it is the only thing that keeps my crohns at bay. It can also make your feces a different colour and urine but doesnt to mine. BTW do...

Not that I know of..but I heard it was good only for UC. All I heard.

I have only seen one person in my years of being on here no surgery because of allergy to the anaesthesia... Can anyone put more information on here as to why she could NOT have surgery? Just wondering.

Wow, that is not something a crohnie needs to go through. I am glad it is all behind you and trying to get it out of your mind. The what if's are gone, but you have done what you needed to do to clear your conscience, too bad the whole world dont think like you. Baby steps and feel good about...

I almost got the script for LDN but our conversation changed and went another route. I know he would help me but very close nit clinic I am in, and all I need is for blood work to go off and my GP will drop me. Also in the midst of changing Gi's it is a big mess right now, awaiting my appt...

I have researched and a doctor who publishes great info in Toronto has mentioned Magsense http://www.pno.ca/item/womensense/magsense.html?qh=YToxOntpOjA7czo4OiJtYWdzZW5zZSI7fQ%3D%3D I have been taking it and it has helped. Apparently the powder is more absorbable which is good because I have...

Sorry I dont have articles to show but from my experiences itis best to seek a counselor or be on a mild anti depressant, it can help your crohns and your marriage. Some people can't handle their spouses being sick and they want out, and having this disease is hard enough mentally and the meds...

Great that you are on the way to recovery. What amount of pred are you on now? Suschex

Hey Jason a few more days to go! Everthing will be ok. Giftedby adoption...Good luck and keep us updated whenever you can! Hugs to you both.

:welcome: Wiggles! Wow forth Canadian in a row!!! What is going on? Glad you are here and you are being looked after well. Yes there are risks to any drug and fantastic idea to see a nutrionist for digestive diseases is great. I too saw one. Raw veggies are very hard on the digestive system...

Hi there, you are such a great person to come on here and find out about your partner. I read that surgery isnt an option and I am curious to know why. Alot of people resist medicines as I have too. I have had 2 resections, and if it werent for my hubby, I couldnt have survived the second...

Thank you for posting on the forum. We look forward to hearing more about you and your lifestyle. I know Bancroft, we had friends in the area, nice place! My daughter did a study but has yet to get it back from the professors. She has pushed me to get it too but for now I am in the midst of...

:welcome: Monty2mom,there is a wealth of information here, as mentioned we are all different in the disease, meds, and diet. No two are exactly the same. As for diet, the Brat diet if you have loose bowels (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) if you have a tendency to constipate low residue...

Thank you I am doing alot better, since I ma tapering to 25mg I am experiencing abit of bloat. Pred stops the loose bowels and cause a bit of bloat. Got all my stuff for the colonoscopy, clear juice and stuff , and the dreaded Jello ;)

HI Rosie Welcome! :bigwave: I am a crohnie with a daughter in University and is like you she must be a 90's plus student, and her social life is scarce because of her studies. She had suffered burn out as well. Now for you , we all know that health comes first!! It is your life and your body...

Ya just can't have secrets any more lol.... yeah then my daughter turns 24 on the 13th just 50 min shy of Valentines...she brings 13 a lucky day. they say if the ground hog sees its shadow it is 6 more weeks of winter or vice versa, hey I dont ever know mythical stuff :lol:

Ya know, I know that movie but, never watched it as I am NOT a Bill Murray fan. It is a tradition here for the ground hog to predict the spring or more snow... myth at best.

Just a thought and I have read that sometimes low magnesium levels can cause migrains, would be good to get your levels checked for deficiancies... I rarely get headaches and I cant imagine a migraine. Hugs.

Thank you for sharing this. I do know of a young crohnie who is using this in CA and she has saved herself from surgery. But vapourizing is the most beneficial proven. Do you have IBD yourself? Would be great to hear your story. Welcome.

:welcome: to the forum. Being here is one way to help him. There is alot of information here and he is also welcome to come one and share his experiences of his ordeal,as well as get information that sometimes doctors and outsiders have no clue. I have had resections and B12 shot are...
