The location sounds like it might be a sinus infection maybe? But I have heard most headaches are due to dehydration. Maybe up your water intake and see if that helps? I did very well on asacol for quite a while. I hope it works well for you. Welcome to the forum. Sorry you have to be here...

I pooped for the very first time... ... in front of my husband. We have been together for 25 years, and I never pooped in front of him before. We were in a hotel room, and he was in the shower when I HAD TO GO. There was no choice but to let it fly. He said he didn't even smell it. That is...

Yeah, you don't need to taper asacol. The 40 mg of pred should hold you over until you can start taking something else.

The new one looks way less splotchy, so I am thinking this one is better, right? I can't see them side by side so I scrolled back and forth like 203948 times trying to compare, lol. In general, does it give you a lot of pain still? You're off the strong pain drugs if I remember right. The...

WHOOOOO-HOOOOO for weight gain Kell!! Now what about the suspected AS? Call a doc? Wait a week or two? Your "but overall not too bad" sounds better than your other updates. Baby steps girl, baby steps.

I feel that way with a Wendy's cheeseburger when I am flaring. It's the only thing that will make me feel like I have some energy. It's got to have mayo, ketchup and pickles on it though. I can tolerate nuts when I am not flaring, but try not too eat too many seeds. Those pumpkin seeds have...

I have had to wear a kid's diaper in my pants just to go to the grocery store before. It's not as big and bulky as an adult sized diaper, but it gives more coverage than a menstrual pad. Hope your trip goes well for you. Enjoy!

Are you on any meds or anything yet? What are they doing to help you control your symptoms? The time that I was trying to gain weight, I had just started Humira and was on steroids (so that helped with my hunger) and I tried to gain it as fast as possible while I felt great, and before I...

Is it vedolizumab? http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=9066 Here is a thread on it, and if you do a search on here with that spelling, you should find some more threads too. Rob is on it right now I think, and Shmooda was too, but I haven't seen her here lately. As far as deciding...

I agree with Rob, we do that in the toilet in our camper. As for the reason it's happening (and this is only a guess, but it makes sense if I can figure out how to explain it) - When my kids go poop, they go completely, and rarely have to wipe more than once. Usually when they wipe the first...

I think that really sucks that she asked you not to, yet you did it anyways. Normally I wouldn't condone name calling, but GoJ has now made me spit out my drink, and it made me giggle. A few times. I might just scroll back to see if it happens again... Yup! It did! LOL!

I know that I was on steroids just before I started Remicade, but I can't remember if I took them at the same time or weaned off just before starting it. I hope it works as well for you as it is working for me right now. Good luck!

My quality of life is probably better due to having Crohn's. As hard as it is to get off the couch during a flare, it makes me appreciate the times when I am feeling well. I appreciate when I can eat and enjoy food. As bad as Crohn's gets, someone always has a situation worse than I do. I...

I can't eat onions, apple cider, popcorn, or beans. Lots of things bother me when I am flaring, but I can eat most everything when I am feeling well. Those 4 things I stay away from no matter what. I also limit peels and seeds, especially apples and cucumbers with those thicker skins. Nuts...

I did a search on here for 'modulen', and 44 threads came up. These threads have the word 'modulen' somewhere in them. http://www.crohnsforum.com/search.php?searchid=344849 Also - if you search for 'elemental', that is a product that is similar to modulen I believe. I'm not sure what country...

Hi nny'er! Sorry you have to be here, but glad that you found us. You might be surprised that the one glass of wine makes you a bit tipsy. I would SO have two though! Low residue isn't too bad once you get used to it. Good luck with your scope. Welcome to the forum! MBH

I would say that if you really want to pray for someone, just take your pick. Many people here have their first name as their user name, and many have a picture up. Take KatieSue for example ^ I think she could use a prayer or two right now, lol!

Crohn's Walk is over!!! YAY!!! With help from family friends and co-workers, I raised $1,165.69 for the CCFA!!!!! I read somewhere that 80% of the money raised goes directly to research. My local chapter raised $77,195.98. They were STILL lacking port-o-potties on the 3 mile walk. There...

Here is a recent thread with some discussion about that - http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=10818 Hope that helps =)

YES! It's possible! I started feeling my Humira start working on day 6. Isn't it crazy? And though Remicade (a similar drug) usually takes a little while for the Crohn's patients, it can sometimes start working right during the first infusion for RA patients. Enjoy it - I hope it lasts a...
