Hey Courtney, I have a three year old who has had bathroom issues for about a year or so....colonoscopy showed nodular pattern and his mucosal wall is lacking. Our GI said it could be an early sign of CD, or it could be something he is allergic too....and if its CD, and hes allergic to something...

Hey Mary, I know exactly what your going through....I am terrified that someday something worst is going to come of my health. I take meds to control my racing thoughts and anxiety. Try not to stress....it is what it is!! Feel better~

YAY!! Congrats, I hope things only get better for you!!

So as most of you know my story has changed. I went from severe flare to mild and supposedly not flaring now. I had horrible D, that stopped by adding probiotics to my diet. Well, I think the probiotics cause constipation. So I stopped and the D came back, so I tried every other day...and the...

Yes, thats a terrible feeling....and like Glum said, it happens when flaring. And thats how I know things are really bad....hope you feel better

Yes, I have spasms and cramps too.....Ive suffered for years with on and off D and C, now Im in a state of complete constipation...despite having a trip to the ER for 8 days with nothing....they gave me colonoscopy prep....I was in the bathroom sick for hours...I finally went for three hours...

Nope, you cant have the treatment if your ill or have any kind of infection. It will make you worst and could lead to pnemonia. I had a cold and my dr said no go...had to be off antibiotics for 7 days before I could do my treatment. Hope you feel better, and good luck

Hey Jill, glad everything worked out for you....I hope you get some answers. Keep us posted.

I think we know our bodies best, and if your concerned....the right thing to do is voice your conerns. I know how anxiety provoking this disease can be....I take depression meds and anxiety meds...it seems to help. The more you stress yourself out...the worst it can become. I think your symptoms...

Finally went, and spent hours in the loo. After all the compacted stuff passed, I started having soft stool....which was thin and narrow. Then followed by a bunch of bloody D. Yay, finally some relief, but OMG....Im one tired person. After a traumatizing time on the toilet, my body got shocky. I...

Yes, been anemic all my life. Also B12 deficient....Ive been told the two go hand in hand, so maybe ask about your B12 levels as well. Anemia can be treated a number of ways, diet is best....but if you dont absorb then diet doesnt really work. Iron suppliments work, but cause constipation...or...

Ok, so today is day 8 of no BMS!! I went to ER last night, as per my GP, and they did CT....no obstruction, just full of crap!! Literaly....well yea I new that. So they gave me instructions for GoLytly and told me to keep my appt with GI today. So this morning....I did the mag citrate and an...

Yea... I think I know in my head, something is not right. Funny you mention hip ach....Ive had it for weeks, and these little knotts in my flank....OH boy...hope I make it through the night...if I keep getting distended Im going to look ready to pop in the moring.

Hey Everyone, hope your all doing well. Things have changed for me greatly with this disease....and Im not sure whats going on. I have been really constipated for 6 days now, not passing much gas....and when I do, I have to force it out. I had a BM yesterday, it was hard as a rock...and work to...

Oh Yes!! Terrible headaches...like mentioned above Amitriptyline helps with headaches and sleep issues.

Hello all, hope your doing well. Ive been relieved from the D, but now the Constipation is set in....its been about 4 days and Ive not gone at all....not even an urge to go. Strange, I went from severe d to complete constipation. Not sure what it is...but Im not even passing gas. And when I do...

Yes, I feel down a lot. I feel terrible bc I feel like Im a burden to my family, my husband and I are very distant from one another. There are certain things I cant do bc I need a bathroom close at all times. I cant get a job....and the list goes on and on....hang in there. I started on some...

Yes, me too.....I have severe pinching in my flank and wraps around into my back and down into my legs. When inflammation is present in my illium, it causes all the muscles around it to inflame also.

And dont worry about bein a bother.....your NOT a bother!! This is the one place where people understand what your going through....

Mary I do get pain all ove, and that colonoscopy always makes me worst. Pain meds, hot bath, cold packs and low residue diet. Also drink losts of water to get your bowels going again...colonoscopy tends to slow things all the way down for me.
