Hi Ron How are you doing? Didn't you go back to the doctor yesterday for a follow up? I'm not currently on probiotics. In the past, whenever I have tried them, they didn't seem to agree with me. I will ask my new consultant about it - thanks. Take care

Hello all I have had Crohns for 4 years (diagnosed) and have been on Humira for the last 2 years which now appears to have stopped working (although levels are fine and no antibodies), I have recently moved across country and have met my new IBD consultant today at the Royal Liverpool Hospital...

Hi Soph Once Crohns has been diagnosed they can use FCP poo test to monitor you and also can help to determine if you are flaring and also can help to see how you may be responding to certain meds. I currently have 3-4 a year either via my GP or Consultant. It is certainly a lot easier than...

Hi Andy Forgot to mention that they may want to test your poo to rule out things like CDiff, ecoli, salmonella etc.

Hi Andy Sorry to hear what you are going through but I agree with Soph - you are definitely doing the right thing getting all the tests done. I initially went to my GP 5 years ago because I thought I had bowel cancer symptoms. After a colonoscopy and ultra sound they found the Crohns. The...

Hi Kittyp Sorry I haven't been around the last few days. We have just moved home and things have been a bit hectic! Hang in there Hun. One step at a time. From your post, it sounds like there are too many issues for you to deal with all at once. Just take one at a time. Get a Lego set...

When I get nausea, it seems to be worse first thing and eating some toast generally makes it go away. If I get it throughout the day, it generally stays with me and means I am going to be visiting the loo a lot! At these times I take an anti-nausea tablet like Cyclizine. The other thing that...

Thanks Beach! We also stayed up (after we arrived) to watch the US election - it was like Brexit all over again! Take care. :rof:

Well, we got here eventually last night after an awful journey with horrible weather - ended up snowing towards the end. Removers turned up this morning and we now need to unpack. I cannot remember the last time I spent 12+ hours standing up - I am in bed now and my feet feel like they are in...

Way to go Tony! :dusty: :banana: :emot-dance:
