geez sorry didnt mean to offend just wanted to be sure it wasnt ibuprofin (sp?)...many people are never told that crohns patients should avoid that.....

hey gypsi, what are you/if anything giving maddie for the fever? just wondering.

huh thats weird i thought only terminal illnesses were eligible?

as far as the leg cramps...i would pay attention to your pottasium intake as well as hydration. deficiencies in both of those are common with crohns and can cause some badass cramps. you said you were on 100 mg of pred. what was your taper like when you came off of that? how long ago was that...

mk so today was GI appt and psychiatrist appt (not my weekly therapy, hes just the doc overseeing my treatment in that sense). GI was....pleased? i mean he is happy that i am at a healthy weight for one. that he is super happy about. and i think just....relieved that im not perched on the brink...

@dusty- thanks =] im doing ok. kinda same old same old lol. PG not getting worse but not really getting better either so i dunno. in some ways i am much healthier, am a pretty good weight right now....getting to live life better. still struggling with depression/anxiety crap but aghhh i know i...

thats AMAZING jerr. really, talk about not being afraid to stand for what is right. so sorry that it took the death of a wonderful guy to enforce these changes. he leaves quite a legacy that way...both yours and his legacy.

im not totally positive, but i think a very very small amount of carb can feed a ton of bacteria. i dunno really but everytime i cheated and ate a cookie i was like dammit 389384032 bacteria just got fed!! its like you have to wipe out the colony TOTALLY. cuz even if theres 2 left lol they will...

hi sorry i totally forgot to come back to this thread! yeah ive found that not many people know the SCD. she may have been thinking it was similar to celiac disease diets which it is in a way...but celiacs CAN eat corn, rice, potato, etc. SCDers cannot. gluten free does not necessarily mean...

aww sorry hun =/ same question as dusty, what was the reasoning for this? just more time for healing? hmmm have you experimented with diff products? seen a stoma nurse? you may have been posting about this issue already so sorry if these are repetitive questions...

^^brilliant post reg joe.....love it.

that broke my heart =/ i went thru similar things and i know how terrible the feeling is. when people you love dont even LIKE you anymore.....but you dont know what else to do. you dont know how else to cope with what you need to. for a while i just pretended that i was my same old self even...

hugs lady!! you are a great person silver, the fact that you feel those things is proof. =] thats true, if you let it control you then you are helpless. but really i think VERY few if any people on this forum are letting crohns and other issues control their lives. just being on this site is a...

what i did when i was on it was make a massive amount of whatever i was cooking and then stored the leftovers. unfortunately, the time to cook the stuff is necessary but it is worth it. heres some staples that i frequently had: -homemade yogurt -homemade applesauce -roasted veggies (any kind...

you did help her. dont forget that. lost a cousin and her bf when i was like....12 ish or so? they were driving back to college, tire blew out on the highway and they lost control, head on collision with a semi. i think about her alot, especially now cuz i am the age she was when she died...

totally agree. as i got older and life went on i lost any "faith" that i had in religion of that sort. but i DO have faith in the order of the world. the universe. that there is an interconnected web of paths and time and that it all fits perfectly. but not that any sort of god is the cause of...

hmmm im pretty sure i have had a similar thing, though it wasnt quite as intense and as large an area as yours seems to be. for a while when my butt was just a total wreck i would get sores almost like.....well almost at the top of my butt crack hahaha. its like the skin would split right there...
