I did have periods of nausea, mostly while sitting on potty. Rumblings I had a lot off. I would maybe call your GI and let them know. Might be that things are clearing up, but I'm always cautious about getting a blockage due to swelling. Can't hurt to just call and touch base. My c-diff 30+...

I had c-diff a few weeks back, my GI told me to eat what my body felt like, but high protein and high fat might slow the D down. I pretty much ate meat, any kind really. Was helpful to eat small amounts every 2 hrs or so. Drink a ton of water or Gatorade C-diff is miserable! It hit in the...

I agree with Ron, perhaps your doctor can help with the anxiety, or they can suggest ways to cope with it. For me yoga helps and my little dog. I can understand being nervous to come off a med you know was helping. No one wants to go back to feeling sick. The prednisone should be a slow taper...

I'm sorry this is happening g to you. You say that you have been dating for a while. Does he know you have medical issues? Mabey just be honest. I was with my hubby when we were dating. The way I looked it was, if he doesn't want to deal with this, then Mabey not the guy for me. You could try...

It's a binder, used to lower cholesterol but can also be used to help solidify your p**p. The reason you need to take by I self is it can bind your other meds you might take at same time and you would not get the benefit of taking them. Usually wait 4 hrs after taking your am meds before you...

Families can be the best, and sometimes the worst. Has she done any research on her own, like reading about the Disease? What if you tried to talk to her with your dad and hubby present as a buffer? Seems like a good talk with her might help, but always easier said than done. I had to have a...

Welcome, I am sorry you are having a bad time. I'm glad that you have been into see your doctor. There are a few different threads on hear about different foods people eat while flairing. I'm not sure how to tag them tho, perhaps someone else can. I think most stick to soft foods, mash potatoes...

Jersey Girl, welcome to the site. Glad you joined. It does feel good to just write stuff down and have ppl understand what you are feeling. It sounds like you were under some major stressors for a while, which doesn't help the ole gut! I hope your doctor continues to help you with your...

Not sure I would say "give me as much sedation as possible" I work as a nurse and unfortunately those words trigger the "drug seeker" reaction with a lot in the medical field. Just be honest with why you worry and how your last scope felt. Good luck.

I can see how this is a tough situation to be in. I can deal with other people's drama because i can tune it out, but if it is close friends or family not so much. Most is my mom having small tiffs with other family members and then both sides calling me to tell me about it. I just need to focus...

I'm sorry you had a rough time. Your GI will do the procedure, but you should have either a nurse anesthetist or an MD anesthesia doing your sedation. They are the ones who control your sedation. Sometimes you don't get to meet them until you are wheeled into the room. I usually tell them at...

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. Can they add anything to your meds? Steroids Mabey? Deff sounds like you are in a bad flair.

Pug Gamer this is exactly what we encountered. My husband got so worried when I was asked the million admission questions at the hospital & he couldn't answer them. I never looked at it from his point of view. It worried me also as I love to hike often on my own, and the what if's took over...

Im sorry you are having a rough time. I'm getting ready to start this med Tuesday so I am interested in your replies.

(Hug).... from me. I hate it when crohns controls my life! Was your move based on a college you wanted or the dream on living in NY? I wouldn't give up just yet. Is there any compromise? Could you work summers there, but do college near your GI? I'm not sure but will keep thinking.

I pack. Family and friends have just learned to accept this. I'm not getting sick just to be polite. At restaurants I can usually find grilled chicken breast. If not I either don't go, pack, or didn't eat.

I'm in full flair and treating the symptoms until insurance decides I'm worthy of new med. every night I could set my watch by my nice 102+ temps. I am on antibiotics and I take Tylenol every night before bed, and again as soon as I'm up. Anyone got any other suggestions? Just venting and...

Thank you all, I have gotten some good info. Think my hubby will definitely want me to have one. I just never looked at my care from his side before.

Thanks, just didn't look at all this from hubbys perspective and he made a good argument. Thanks again for info.

After my recent hospital stay I learned that my husband is not comfortable with his knowledge of my past medical history, current and past treatments. His big worry is that I could get to a point where I can't explain things well, or that things change so fast (meds/treatments) that he will tell...
