    Hi everyone just had major surgery for crohns

    Mobius, Do you have an advocate? Being from the States, I am not familiar with the NHS. Here we have to keep pushing until someone listens. I am sorry you are going thru this. Wendy

    One a day instead of Pentasa?

    I think it may be Lialda. Lialda is usually taken once or twice a day and is fewer pills to swallow. Wendy

    Hopeless, sad, lonely, frustrated....need help

    Suschex- remember the pred is making the situation worse emotionally. I nearly came unglued when I was on it. I had to take Ativan. I would be sitting at work and look at my office mate- he would point to the door and scream "out now". I would just burst into tears and he could see it...

    Is pernicious anemia low vitamin B12 or Intrinsic Factor

    David, Accurate Diagnostics is a chain lab that I have used thru work. Google them and see if they are near you. They will talk to you about what you need. Great thread.

    Oil of oregano

    I use Oil of Oregano as needed. It is a powerful antibiotic/antiviral/antifungal and you really have to take probiotics with it.

    Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease With A Probiotic

    It takes a few weeks on probiotics. The beginning can be difficult. As the "bad" bugs die off, it will increase gas, bloating, and can cause flu-like symptoms. Wendy

    What was your Crohn's (or Colitis) Misdiagnosed as?

    I was dx'd during an unrelated surgery. The doctor found the bad part, called in a different surgeon, and I woke up with a dx of Crohns pending biopsy results. That was in 1991. In the past 3 yrs, I have had one surgeon that now says he really does not think it is Crohn's. Wendy

    Can one Pharmacy's LDN be more effective than the other?

    I have used silver with very positive results. I am fortunate to have an Orthomolecular Scientist in my community. He has really helped me with my Crohn's. I use LDN which he does not approve. The link is to the silver he reccommends. He tests all products in his private lab to ensure they...

    Afternoon fatigue

    Here is a neat little trick a former boss of mine used to do for the afternoon slump... He would turn in front of his computer, put on an online ce course, and go to sleep with his eyes open.

    Post-Op Open Wounds?

    My first sbr was "purse string" closed. Basically it was left open with sutures in place to be pulled close at a later date. The wound was 4 inches wide. They pulled the sutures closed in less than a week. That hurt. I had to be reopened due to infection (abcessed). I had the wet to dry...

    Probiotics Reviews

    I am on Garden of Life Probiotics (going to the RAW version when I finish my bottle). Been on these for 10 years on and off. I also like Natren Healthy Trinity. I have tried others but GofL and Natren are the only ones that have worked for me. Results: flat tummy, less stinky gas, less...

    No Insurance :/

    When I was on 6MP without insurance, my pharmacy had a plan that reduced the cost. I talked with the pharmacist and they told me about it. Also, the pharmacy let me buy a few weeks at a time. Wendy

    I'm sorry . . . I'm a flake now

    Life is sometimes just strange. Andi, I went to a motivational seminar last month and one of the speakers talked about how we have to take action and God will then know we are ready to receive. I have been thinking on this for a while now and your post cemented it into place, thank you. I...

    New family member!!

    Nope, I am used to the reaction to me. I have 2 precious cats that are "make Wendy happy" surprises. I really hope your little one brings as much joy to you and your family as my 2 boys (yes, Ray and I refer to ourselves as mommy and daddy to the cats) have brought to us.
