Welcome back, Mrs. Rose! :) Hope to get to know you better! Congrats on your second pregnancy!

I agree with what everyone else has said so far. You are welcome to explore the forums and learn, regardless if you end up having Crohn's or not. It is true that having one autoimmune disease makes us susceptible to other autoimmune diseases, but not necessarily guaranteed. Hopefully you can...

Hi Sam :) Thanks for sharing your story with us! It's great to hear you've had so many years without any major flare-ups. Sounds like your doctors are doing a good job of making sure things are okay with you and are planning some good imaging tests to know what's going on inside before they...

Hi Bailey :) Glad you found us! I've been diagnosed a shorter time than you have, but I have looked back at the past and can pinpoint random times in my like that I thought I was fighting off a stomach bug or some other unexplainable health issue that I think was early signs of Crohn's. I...

Hi huni! I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. :) Don't forget to check out the Parents of Kids with IBD sub-forum located in the Support Forum. You can find plenty of other parents and caretakers who have children with IBD. It's a great resource to find others who know exactly what you...

Hi Joan Marie :) I found out I had Crohn's after they found an abdominal abscess on my right side near my terminal ileum. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks on IV antibiotics. They were able to drain my abscess, thankfully, so that helped with the healing process. The drain was able to be...

Just had a huge slice of leftover pepperoni pizza.

Cat - I'm really sorry you are having to deal with this. Something peculiar is definitely going on. I think, I would first try to have a calm and sincere heart to heart with him. Without getting threatening, let him know his behavior recently is upsetting and that you've gone out of your way to...

Hi Curt! I don't have any personal experience with LDN, but I think the others have given some great advice so far. D Bergy really is very knowledgeable on the subject. I would search the forum for threads by him, for sure. I'm originally from the Tampa Bay area too! :)

Hi Hubby! :) My husband joined a while back to thank the community, just as you have! I think it's great when significant others and loved ones take the time out to pop in and see what we're all about. Thanks for caring! :) We love Silvermoon!

Welcome Destrius! It's understandable to worry that things may one day become so bad that a colostomy or surgery may be the only option to improve life, but don't get too bogged down in the what-ifs. Like Amy said, most people that end up going the surgical route have seen it as more of a...

Hi YoungJ! Sorry to hear that you've had to make a career change due to your health, but it sounds like your new field could be just as rewarding! :) I hope your new doctor works out for you. That's great that you were able to get in to see another one so soon. Hope you find the forum...

I'm wondering as well! I have it marked on my calendar too. If we don't hear from you, I'll be thinking about you on Thursday, regardless! :)

Yikes! What a story! I hope the GP can figure something out. What a peculiar occurrence to have out of nowhere!

Closedingirl - That would bother me too. Even with friends, I always show the courtesy of asking before I use something, unless it was stated previously that I was welcome to. I don't understand when people feel entitled to things like that. In college, I had that happen a few times with some of...

Andi - Yikes! We had to deal with that sort of situation earlier this year. Actually both of our cars around the same time. And currently we're out one car because my husband's car is having a problem with overheating and we don't have the money to get it checked out! I wish cars didn't have to...

If they don't call you back, please go to the ER. Losing large amounts of blood is never a good thing. Hope you can get in touch with the doc today!

Very relieved to hear you aren't in pain right now! Hopefully you can find a happy medium between being pain free and not constipated! If you want my mom's chicken soup recipe, let me know. It's super easy. Liquid diets are really hard. I always felt hungry. :) The protein drinks were the only...

Man, it's frustrating to read about all that you are still going through. I really can't add much more to what everyone else has already said. What kind of soup are you eating? For me, I noticed, anything that wasn't made from scratch tended to upset my stomach when I first got out of the...

Lisa - Got new shoes today actually! ;) They still need a bit of breaking in.
