Popcorn, Salad and Milk. I really like salad so sometimes I will eat a small side salad, with very little dressing, but it comes right out, but it is good going in. Not always worth it though :)

Mia Butta, It has also been a while for my husband and I, we have tried but it is too painful for me right now, I think it has been about 3 months and my second fissure popped up about a month and half ago, so I don't think that could be it. I too have stubborn hemorrhoids that I have had...

I am not in a lot of pain, my fevers have subsided for now and he said even though it has increased in size it is still not too large, and scheduling factors came into play. I had already booked plane tickets to go to Florida to visit family so I couldn't do it this week, he only does them on...

Yes, I have Crohn's in the small bowel and had a touch of Gastritis on my diagnosing colonoscopy. I have had perianal issues since May of 2009, when I was first diagnosed, I didn't know I could have these types of issues. Thanks for all the personal stories and advice. My doc doesn't want to...

I am on abscess number 2 since being diagnosed in early 2009, the first one was very very painful, I couldn't sit or walk I had to have almost emergency surgery to drain it. This second one, I knew something was wrong, I was having night sweats, spiking fevers with no other symptoms, and I am...

My doctor told me when I was first diagnosed they will only do another colonoscopy if I start having new symptoms or if something in the blood work shows there is something wrong. He also told me that they recommend that us Crohnies get a colonoscopy every 1-2 years, 10 years after your first...

Hi Do you have reflux? I know when I start burping a lot it is a sign my reflux is acting up. It is good you are not drinking carbonated beverages, but try reducing other high acid foods too. Also, I have noticed the faster I eat the more I burp. This helps me hopefully it can help you. If...

Oh and I forgot, I sometimes use A&D ointment, since it protects the skin, it helps with the burning from the leakage.

Hello again, I actually have 2 anal fissures right now, really sucks. Sitz baths actually really do wonders for the pain, if you can get 2 in a day, I think it will really help you. When mine was really bad I use Nitroglycern ointment, you will need a prescription from your doctor for this...

Hi The same thing is happening to me, I am constantly going to the restroom not to go to the bathroom, just to clean up. I had my daughter in April and have had leakage for the last 4-5 months. But I also have a perianal abscess that is scheduled to be drained on Dec 2nd. So my doc is not...

I really hope the Remi works for you, it has been great for me until recently since I have an abscess and didn't know. With the pred, once I got down to 10mg a day, my symptoms came back almost full force, I had to go back up to 20mg a day to feel a little bit of relief. I eventually was able...

Hello Everyone. I just saw my colo-rectal surgeon on Friday, I have another abscess that has to be drained which is a big Boo! But he also said to me that I have anal crohns. I had heard the term perianal disease before but not anal crohns, are they the same thing? Has anyone else been dx...

Hello Everyone Wanted to give an update. I saw the new doc, and it turns out I have another abscess. The worst part is the MRI report was sent over to my other doctor a month ago and none of the MA's or my old doc himself even took the time to review the report and realize that someone should...

Hi Donsmom, I was on Remicade when I got pregnant was on it through my entire pregnancy and am still on it now. I am nursing and my daughter is 7 months old and have had no problems. I got the okay from both the OB and my GI to nurse while on it before I even gave birth. The pediatrician...

I am only on Remicade, I did get night sweats when on Prednisone, but I do occasionally get them when I am flaring too, I HATE coming back to a cold bed because by then I am Freezing cold! I sleep on a towel, it helps to soak up most of the moisture and keep the bed somewhat dry. If you are...

Hello Everyone, My name is Jayme. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Feb 2009, but had symptoms since Dec 2007. The first year was hard, I didn't know what was going on. The symptoms would come and go, so I originally blamed the bowel problems on a lactose sensitivity because it runs in my...
