Haha...

I occasionally have headaches. Sometimes rubbing an analgesic creme on the forehead, temples, back neck or behind the ears helps. Back when I had a shaved head, I'd rub my whole scalp with it. Vicks, Tiger Balm, Ben-Gay, Rub A535. All seemed to be helpful.

I don't wish to scare you, but intestinal blockage may very well be one of the most intensely painful experiences a human can endure. If you think you might be blocked go to the hospital emergency immediately.

Depending on the level of obstruction, bowel obstruction can present with abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting, fecal vomiting, and constipation. Obstruction may be due to causes within the bowel lumen, within the wall of the bowel, or external to the bowel (such as compression...

My GI suggested I consult a dietician, but it's probably because he was passing the buck. He's prescribed me all the diarrhea treatments available. I'm well aware of what I consume. My problem is not a poor diet, nor trigger foods.

Okay, I'm not ashamed to be a relentless pimp. June means various Heel and Wheel-a-thons across Canada. Bike, run, skateboard, walk. http://www.heelnwheelathon.ca/EN/index.html Help out if you can.

I had a good 15 year run with only minor issues after my double resection.

Stand up for solid poo! ...errr, perhaps I'll rephrase that

They're also good for "freshening up" in between farts. Keeps "bum dust" from irritating the skin.

Same deal here. Comes and goes. I've been able to rule out all the usual causes. Gold Bond lotion and hydrocortizone creme for the nasty spots.

Montreal-style Smoked Meat and Swiss on multi-grain. An orange and fresh strawberries. Apple & Quinoa salad. A V-8 juice.

Also: It doesn't pay to get the no-name or "house" brands. I find the Cottonelle wipes are the best. The others rip too easy.

:worthy: Say it sistah!

As for "treating" your Crohn's via natural means, it's probably a good idea to adopt as healthy a diet/lifestyle as possible -- alongside your prescribed medication(s). See where they that takes you first.

Thanks everyone... I'm upset too because I had told my relatives --urged them -- to get checked out two years ago.

Just found out my uncle has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Sadly it seems to run in the family. My father passed away two years ago from colon cancer. It saddens me because I saw firsthand how it ravaged my father. My uncle is in Germany and I can't go see him right now.

Wow. I have had a post-surgical abscess as well, and had to be re-admitted. Nasty.

I've done very well since I drastically curtailed my refined wheat consumption. I'm not Celiac, so I'm able to tolerate other grains. I use a multi-grain (spelt/kamut/millet/oat/hemp) for sandwiches and toast, and have eliminated pasta from my diet (rice instead).

Oh, it's possible. Just don't expect the pot to be full of gold!
