Ok. Hope you get some answers at your review next week.

Did they give you anything for the inflammation when they discovered it last year? I was hacing similar pain as you describe it, but not as bad as when first diagnosed. More urgencybissues than I'd had for a while. Have just had a colonoscopy and they found mild ulceration but quite a bad...

Still in Bangkok. Jeez I didn't realise a PVT was quite so scary. Shouldn't have looked it up! Got out of hospital on 13th and luckily I have a friend here I can stay with. I have a couple more appointments as an outpatient for them to settle on the right dose of Warfarin. I hate being on...

Yes I think it would be every parent's worst nightmare and I'm sure Dusty will testify to that. My son - 15 when I first became ill - asked me if he would get it too. It was a good opportunity to describe symptoms to him and what to look out for. Bless him, he used to do most of the cooking...

This time is the first I've been hospitalised abroad for Crohn's and first time I've had an endoscopy. I was having both and was worried because I'd been throwing up so much. All I remember is them putting oxygen tubes in my nose then next thing I was in the observation room and it was all over...

Not an abscess, but just had a PVT they think was brought on by a new Crohn's flare. IV antibiotics for 10 days and anticoagulants to prevent further clotting. How's she doing now?

Following with interest. We have CITYMART here which has lots of Australian produce including salads

Mainly scar tissue Cat, but there's also some ulceration at the site.

Hi Nigel I realise this is long after the fact, but I've just been deagnosed with PVT and while investigating that they've discovered I'm flaring again after 3.5 years of remission. Off to have a look at your blog now.

I would be concerned to. I' m wondering where they might break throught to i.e are thet eneterocutaneous? Anal? I guess it might be hard to tell.

Hello all Got back to Myanmar after Christmas, via a week stranded in Bangkok due to new visa regulations. Now find myself back here less than 3 weeks later. Started to get bad stomach pains, vomiting etc at the weekend. Went to see doc in Myanmar on Monday. Cos I'm a Crohnie he decided to do an...

1 - 3 times is not bad. But if it's loose and watery, burning and yellowish, you might be suffering from bile malabsorption. It's common in people who have lost their IC valve. I control it by tring to avoid oily, fried foods as that's what sets it off for me.

Absolutely! Have a great Christmas a d look forward to hearing about your experiences ☺

Yes my very first one. Just wasn't cleaned out enough for them to see properly. I was gutted. Having to go through the fasting and awful prep again. Hope you have better luck next time.

I wonder if you really need the prep? I had the same surgery 3 years ago. They told me at 3pm that they could operate the next day and I had to fast from then, but no prep. It might be worth asking your surgeon.

Hi Amelia. I travel a fair bit long haul and I appreciate your concerns. First of all, do you have a 'Can't wait' card? It's not always recognised but can be useful. At check in, explain your situation and request an aisle seat near the bathrooms. Most airports have lots of bathrooms en route to...

Yes when my symptoms were really bad. I'd often feel..you know...sort of hot, wet and sticky as if I was constantly soiling myself a little but I wasn't.

Sorry just seeing this now. How are you? What's happening? I was thinking you might need an MRI or other imaging test.

Hi Suzie. Sorry to hear about what you are both going through. I found when I was first ill that docs are very focussed on getting you on the right physical treatment but don't really take care of the mental. I woke up one morning too feeling awful and bam! That was me on this terrible...

Yes I am interested to know more about the sea turtle rescue too.
