Feeling a bit better this afternoon. Not eating much but the nausea is gone. Still getting pain on and off but it hasn't gotten worse.

Sorry to hear you are going through all of this. My GI told me that diet has nothing to do with Crohn's...in other words it does not cause or cure it. Yes some diets can reduce symptoms and some foods can aggravate symptoms, but it is different for everyone. Please stay close to the instructions...

Didn't really eat a whole lot yesterday. Got up this morning to try to go to work, but ended up calling out. Been trying to eat a piece of toast for 45 min. Still have diarrhea, no vomiting but nauseous when I walk around. I almost think something I ate started all of this...possibly food...

No fever. Seems I get really hot right before I need to vomit. That has finally stopped, thereafter be anything left. Still have diarrhea. Trying to keep myself hydrated. Just feel very weak and my body aches pretty bad. Scared to eat because I don't want to start throwing up again.

Woke up at 1am super hot. Felt like I had gas so got up to use the restroom just in case. Glad I got up because ended up having diarrhea. Been dealing with diarrhea and vomiting since. Whole back is hurting and going back and forth with feeling hot then cold. No fever. I hope this is due to...

I do take Benefiber as well.

He might be dealing with depression as well. I had a really hard time in the beginning with accepting the disease. I felt like a burden to my husband. Give him space, if it's meant to be you will connect again. If not, it wasn't. Maybe it was an excuse for him to let go of the relationship...

I take a multi-vitamin, total essential fatty acids pill (Omega 3-6-9), glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM, probiotics. Plus my regular Colazal and Prilosec prescription.

I feel the same way with my current job...I push through at work but then come home and have no energy left, plus my entire body is sore as well. Contemplating quitting, but scared to because of needing health insurance (and the money to pay for it). Sorry BigBoss that I don't have any advice...

I have Kaiser and love it! Never had an issue, billing is easy. Coverage can vary. For me lab tests are free and office visits $25, but all that depends on what plan you pay for. What is nice is if I see my regular Dr then go see my GI they each can look up tests the other one ordered...

Yes, even diarrhea and or constipation can cause bowel incontinence.

I haven't thought about this, I too am a donor. Didn't even think the disease would effect anything other than the colon. My grandmother passed and had multiple health issues. They were still able to use her eyes for donation. Every little bit can help someone else in need.

I agree...sounds like could be an internal hemmie.

Diarrhea, pain after eating, pain in lower abdomen, sometimes nausea, exhaustion. I usually go to a liquid diet or to a bland diet I can tolerate. Hot baths seem to help soothe my guts. I tend to sleep a lot more when flaring. I also call my GI to get a stronger med right away as well and he...

Back is killing me today :(

I am sorry I can't help you. I have had Kaiser almost my whole life. I love how easy the billing and everything is. Good luck, I may be looking for insurance next year as well. Let us know what you decide to go with and how it works out.

There are many functions in the body that are controlled or influenced by hormones in men and women. Stress, fatigue, poor diet and lack of exercise could all affect hormone balance. If you don't already, I would try to make sure you drink enough water, get enough sleep and watch stress levels...

Yes, mine can make me feel like I have to go...with little coming out. Also causing mucous.

I think it could be triggered by medication. Also I have found dehydration, stress and hormonal issues to spark acne for me. I get pimples that don't really come to a head, but are painful and take FOREVER to go away.

I am in remission so I truly can eat almost anything, but I still try to stay away from processed foods, too many sweets or junk food, and gluten.
