Sorry you didnt have a great outcome but there are many meds to help the inflammation but scar tissue...nothing only from my daughter studying about medicinal MJ it is supposed to help that. I have been on MTX, and 6 mp. If I could tolerate either one I would choose 6mp or Imuran. I had a...

From what I know the large bowel can't be done as a resection, and you have more than one area. My resections both were in the Ileum where is is common and my first one was laproscopic and the second was not it was open and never did recover fully from it that was 2003. I know you are not...

Could you share with us the herbs used? I get them too, and after resections is is very common.

:welcome: EH! Another Canadian bites the undiagnosed club! BTW you are not far from me just below you. Most people do have problems and have a hard time getting a full diagnosis. Hopefully you will too, because treatment is available and seeing has you react to many meds you could have a hard...

I have b12 shots monthly in any case you should be asking your doctor, you cant OD on it and it stays in your system alot longer and absorbs more. Resections are always causing low b12 and iron, but my iron is ok...go figure.

What works for me is a brisk walk outside, and yes the colder the better and breathe the fresh air , it always works for me. I always watch comedies too, laughter really is the best medicine..

If he puts you out, like mine does I would do it. That way you can get it all done and get treatment. I go on Nexium for about 6 weeks and that works and I am on 20mg of pred right now so I have to take it, Pred was the culprit for me in the first place. I have no choice tho, been on...

Probiotics can come in your yoghurt or you can get them at the drug store. Ask your druggist. I love special k but the bars never...to dense for me. As mentioned digestive enzymes can help. My cereal of choice is Life or cooked larged flaked oatmeal. I use stevia for my cereal and rice...

Nexium does help ,it reduces ulcers and swelling however make sure you are taking a good amound of calcium it is a bone robber, like pred. I agree with Rebecca, a endoscopy would be better, maybe he can do both at the same time? One shot do it all. Keep us posted on how you are doing ok? I...

Yes the problem with going alot and then the bile eventually hits the area where is it bleeding, omg so much burning! After your bm use a non alcohol wipe and no perfume to wipe the area. Get some Calmoseptine, it is a cooling sensation and helps to heal the area. I am never without it!
