I agree, tomato skin!

Patch, once you get the loading dose done, you'll be a pro. It's four injections so it's not a big deal after that unless you make it a big deal!

No, excedrine migraine has aspirin in it :(

After reading that article, I'm wondering if there's always a resection with fistula removal? I have a bowel to appendix fistula discovered a few months ago. I continue to have pain so I assume it's still there. I've only been on Humira a couple of months & don't see my new GI till 8/12. I'm...

I'm almost sure it was die off @if* I wasn't drinking enough water to flush it out at first. Once I realized that, I started downing the water and even took an Epsom salt bath. Felt much better the next day. So I took a break and was just having kefir with a smoothie in the morning. Will try...

The first dose is four pens so you have to do two belly and two legs. The leg shots hurt SO bad. I've only done belly since then. It burns but only for a few seconds. If you're hesitant, def have help for the first dose!

I've been taking one colace before bed every night & able to have a regular BM or even two every day. But is there a chance it's acting as a diuretic making me pee three or four times per night? I'm wondering if that's it or if I'm just drinking enough water now.

Im recently diagnosed as well & quickly progressed to being on Humira. It was easier for me to accept having the illness than to reconcile having to start scary drugs that I had little hope of not being reliant upon in the future. It seems so daunting. But I started Imuran and it wasn't kicking...

I was taking some Primal something from Whole Foods just fine, ran out, didn't have them for a few weeks, bought more and WOW, they're making me miserably bloated and gassy!

I'm going to second the suggestion to call the GI and then take my own advice since I haven't established care since moving a month ago :) In my opinion, there's no harm in getting support here as well. That's why this place exists.

I really have wondered if my severe Vit d deficiency led to the onset of Crohn's for me. My levels have been slowly going up. I'm definitely going to keep up with the supplement!

I would keep pushing to be seen or ask your general practice dr for help in the mean time.

What are you doing diet-wise?

I'm still newly diagnosed so I'm low residue...but pickles could be fun later!

Dang, that all sounds good except the sucker punch part! I'm proud to say I've had a lot of bone broth this week and am feeling better than I have in a month! Except I had ice cream for dinner.

I'm rockin' the poopin' since taking one colace every night before bed for the last 5 days. Yay!!

Will do, thanks! I ordered two from Young Living, the di-Gize and another but I like the idea of pure essential oils over made up blends!

I'd like to try essential oils to lessen my Crohn's symptoms. Where should I start?

Ugh. I hate that I've had to resort to so much medicine so quickly without giving my body a chance to work without being under so much outside stress. I have six weeks until all three of my kids are in school full time. That will make such an amazing difference, I'd hate to be on twice the...

We just moved a couple weeks ago which was extremely stressful, obviously. I had been feeling okay before leaving & had just started Humira (after diagnosis in feb). I tried to reintroduce probiotics which have given me terrible cramping, bloating and gas after not taking them for three weeks...
