:welcome: Judy... lseibert is correct. I have been there many times, and do yourself a favour if you are in pain stay in there! If you start to eat you could get a full blockage and there is no worse pain. So many complications from obstructions and strictures. No one likes to be in the...

Everything will be just fine! Healing hugs!!

:welcome: JM. It must be hard at such a young age. I had my pre Crohns days when I was about 15 or so, bathrooms had to be around. They didnt have imodium and stuff like that in my days. We had "dr Fowlers" strawberry extract. Many years later after my daughter was born is when the...

So nice to hear good things. Yes, this disease is trying and the pain it not forever, you have to find your "little miracle" that helps you. Whether is it diet, exercise and medication, it helps to have somewhat a positive outlook on life. Many years that I have had this disease and with all...

As I always say, if it ain't broken don't fix it. I take a low dose Flagyl only because I have exhausted every drug available in Canada. Hope your son continues to improve. Stress or anxiety can be a culprit for flares. Counselling could help , I think everyone intially should seek help in...

:stinks:n Oh Yuck, I know they are good for you and I wished I like them but the smell even makes me gag... My husband eats them all the time but NOT in the house. I will eat fish but once in a very blue moon. I tried but I can't. So Joanie when you come here in the summer you and the hubby...

Almonds, caused me a partial bowel obstruction in January 2012. But I bought almond butter instead. I love it too.

:welcome: JRA. I have read your story and your son has alot of symptoms of crohns. IBD is very hard to fully diagnose, and having surgery at any time of his life it is best to be certain. I have crohns and my older sister has crohns colitis, she bleeds, I dont but we have many here who do...

Hi Uli I have never had it really bad but some one who was on Humira had it bad too. She had to wear a halter top and no deodorant and that was hard in the winter. Eventually after a few flare ups from it , it went away. I am assuming it is crohns related. I have had a yeasty type rash...

:welcome: to the forum. Canadians have been flooding this forum as it has the most incidence in the world. Some info for you is www.ccfc.ca so you can get in touch with a local chapter , fund raisers, information and peace of mind. Here we know how you feel. Prednisone is one of the worst...

Hey Shazz, being in pain has to be the worst thing. I remember way back in 1992 and tests and trying to get a dx all the while I was practically living in a hospital and then my resection, I know it isnt the same as having a bag (still could be for me down the road) but the relief for 8 years...

I get bladder infections all the time, and if they are reoccuring it can be a kidney stone forming, it did mine. Dont be scared, just get tested. Urine tests are faster too. Let us know what happens? What part of Ontario are you in?

It is such a party eh!!! :lol: Let us know how your scope turns out. Good luck!

Glad you are feeling better. Salofalk did nothing for me, but eating right and exercise does help. Mj has been proven to be affective but being in Canada it is very hard to get it legally. Most doctors will not stand behind it as they only know the drugs they learn about. Everyone is...

HI Susan welcome! :bigwave: I moved your post so that you can be exclusive to your story and your question. This way everyone can read it. Sorry I can't answer your question but someone will be along that can explained. Hope you continue to join us.

Hey I know my brain aint perfect either and I was born blonde too! Uh oh, looks like Shazz is too!!!! :lol:

Yeah epidurals dont work on me, tried 3 times for my birth of my daughter and the second resection, omg they didnt give me pain meds for when they were taking it out, damn it!!!!!

Misty can lose what ya dont have :lol: KIDDING! It is an epidural btw ...When is the surgery date???? I wanna know!

Glad you liked it. A gf of mine gets all these jokes she knows I love them ;). laughter is still the best medicine!
