I have mentioned it before, but he feels since its not all the time and not a lot of pain to not worry. He feels it is more my body telling me I'm doing too much. I guess I just get frustrated that in my thirties I can feel like I'm 80 years old. I thought yay remission I can do anything...

I'm not sure if i have asked this before, but does anyone have abdominal pain even when in remission? My struggle is I have been in remission for quite some time, but still have pain. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I am very thankful for the remission, but what is the deal??? If I...

I would ask to see another Dr.!!!! Even if they think you are over reacting or something they need to have a good bedside manner, not shrug it off. Take the time to explain why something is or isn't the case Sheesh! And since when is rectal bleeding not concerning???? I too thought that IBS...

I have the same diagnosis...looks like Crohn's, but listed as indeterminate colitis or sometimes just IBD. I have only had it in the large intestine, never any bleeding. I never thought I had digestive issues, but looking back I think I had signs...even went to urgent care as a child due to...

Hope the scope went well!

What fruits are you eating? Apples can cause me bloating, pain and at times diarrhea. The fiber in them seems to be the issue.

I had lost my periods when I was flaring badly. My GI said it was due to stress on the body and the extreme loss of weight. It all came back when I had gotten better and gained some weight back.

I was on Entocort for a bit to kick my body into remission. Here is what my GI said...the stronger meds are to help get you into remission (Entocort still is pretty mild) then he said I would take maintenance medication for the rest of my life. He constantly reminds me no matter how great I...

Counseling might help. I was on Prilosec for anxiety for a bit which helped. I understand how you feel. I thought once in remission I would go back to "normal" but I actually feel like a ticking time bomb. Yes, I enjoy the foods that I can while in remission but I am just waiting for the next...

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I was on Prilosec but have since come off the meds for that. I know I am a worrier and stress a lot naturally. When I was flaring being in pain all day was just too much and the meds helped. I know that chronic pain can cause depression as well...

Tired, tired, tired. Just feel so tired today...don't know why. :yfrown:

I only seem to get night sweats when flaring.

Sorry to hear you are having these side effects. I was on it before, but DoD not have any issues. Let your dr know for sure!

I was on NSAIDS for a while due to hip pain when I was diagnosed. I think it contributed to the flare, but I believe I had the disease in me prior. Had a couple of times with really bad pain when I was younger but never saw a Dr about it. Also had what I thought were normal "tummy issues" as a...

I have Crohn's Colitis and my cramping is much worse since being diagnosed. Seems heavier too, but I have stopped taking birth control so that could also be the reason. My mom says I have always had diarrhea with my period, but I only really remember it being bad in the last few years.

Well, this was not true for me. We tried to have children for years with no luck...was on the pill for years, never had any pregnancy scares. When I was flaring badly my cycle stopped all together.

I get the gurgling, but it isn't constant. Seems to be worse when I haven't eaten, have eaten anything fibrous or even breads, after a salad, or when stressed. I have never found a way to control it. GI was never concerned unless the noises were accompanied with pain.

I was told they wouldn't do a colonoscopy if I was pregnant. They even have me take a pregnancy test before the procedure. I hope you feel better soon! Congratulations on the pregnancy!

He has me on Benefiber right now. So far, so good...doesn't make me feel bloated at all.
