Ihurt this sounds horrendous, poor you! Is it Candida? I'm sure you've probably eliminated this, but it comes with a host of symptoms. Can you get Canestan HC in the US? It contains 1% hydrocortisone and prescription only. Hope you get some answers soon xxxx

Hiya Jesse JDTM I'm back on the Buds too and this time I'm gonna stick to the 'proper' dosage, 9mg at one month, 6mg at one month, 3mg at one month. Only cos in the past I've fannyed around with the dosage and tapered too fast, thinking I was a smart arse! Good luck, let us know how you get on xxx

Hiya Sarah and welcome I refused my meds too, and I nearly died from an infection and peritonitis. I won't go into the long story, just the facts. Crohn's is inflammation, this causes scar tissue, this causes narrowing, this causes obstruction. Don't be complacent, this disease is silent, and...

Hiya krugers and welcome Good that you've got a quick diagnosis! You're no longer alone, lots of friends here for you. Reading thro the forum and it's sub forums on diet, treatment etc will help to alieve your anxieties, this isn't a death sentence, it's gonna be ok. There are so many...

Hiya matthew This pain could be a stricture, these are caused by either inflammation or scar tissue built up over time. When inflammation hits, the stricture narrows, and can cause an obstruction. The pain is excruciatingly unbelievable! The pain throbs, ebbs and flows, to a crescendo! It...

Hiya Hannah I say 'I've got Crohn's, Google it!' When peeps say 'You look so well tho', or 'should you be eating that?' I say... 'I'm sorry, but you've mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!' Hannah don't justify yourself to anyone, if they're bothered, they educate themselves, and...

Hiya ktp112 I'm so sorry you're going through this without any support from your parents. As a parent myself I couldn't stand by and watch my kids suffer like this. You need to stand up for yourself, at 21 you're an adult, ok you live with them, their rules etc etc ... but you have to be your...

Hiya Joney and welcome I agree with Lizbeth, we are all unique, what works for one might not for another. I'm on Humira, and I only chose this option over Remicade cos it's more convienient, I don't relish the idea of being infused for a few hours, plus it will interfere with work. Humira was...

We don't half knock the NHS but our drugs only cost £7.20 a pop! It's only a contribution, we do pay National Insurance with our salary tho.

I saved this to my favourites ages ago, a bit long winded, but hope it helps xxx http://www.njsurgery.com/html/Diseases/hemorroids.shtml

No I've never tried them! But I'll post the link http://under-tec.com/

Hiya Kismet and welcome You could try some digestive enzymes for the bloating, available at any health shop or Boots. Regarding your diagnosis, I'm afraid the specialist in IBD will have to confirm this, with the best will in the world a GP isn't a specialist, and I for one wouldn't take it...

Hiya Traumanurse That's a long time on Entocort? I can only say from my own personal experience on this med (I'm on it now) Here in the UK we only do 3 monthly stints on Entocort = 1 month at 9mg, a month at 6mg, a month at 3mg, that's it. I'm also on Humira, 5 months now, but it took a good 3...
