Honestly, you need to go to your GP and get a refferal to a GI to thoroughly look at your case. Then that GI should look at all your records from the hospital for themselves. I have never heard of constipation causing ulcers! Colitis is a way they describe IBD, so it is in your records that it...

I am going through this very situation right now too. I have been on Tramadol for over two years. TWO YEARS. I have taken it every day since last August, so almost a year. And now that the United States is cracking down on RX pain meds, my GP is only giving me one months supply, NO REFILLS. So...

oh my goodness, I have so much to catch up on! O.o Cat, again, you don't need to worry about being competition. :P Supplies do the very best there, so that would actually be a great way to get your shop going. :) Like I have said before, it is a TON of work (I work 30-40 hours a week on mine)...

The red velvet cake sounds amazing. :) My husband just bought gluten free bisquick, apparently the pizza we make has been bothering me lately (he pays a lot more attention to what hurts me more than I do) so he is going to see if it is the gluten. As for the blood, yes, you NEED to tell that to...

Aww that is so cute Cat! Lily going to the party! :P Have fun! Nathan, I'm with Cat on the hemmie thing. I have one external hemmie that I have had for many, many years (since I was at least 17), and I've had some fissues as well. I know the bleeding is coming from a fissue when it is very...

Yeah I would have to agree with Star on this one, this forum has so many different people with different foods that bother them....most here are undiagnosed, so it might not be crohns! But we all have digestive issues. My body pretty much rejects anything that would be considered healthy...no...

Wow Cat! That is insane! Why would anyone want to make up an illness to have a friend? You don't need an illness to be friends. :( It was a good decision to cut her off, you would never know if what she was saying was true. I agree with you on the opinions part....I always try and think of the...

Aww thanks bozzylozzy. :) She complained about everything on Facebook...she's an athiest, so she made fun of christians all the time...she is german, but she tries and acts like an american, and is a democrat, so she made fun of republicans...she just wants attention and doesn't care that other...

Hey everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. Sorry I haven't been talking much this week...I had a really bad experience on Sunday, and I have completely shut down socially bc of it. I didn't notice it until one of my friends tried to call me and I freaked out and threw the phone bc I was...

Ohh psssh Cat, you wouldn't be competition. :P There are many many MANY crocheters on there! It takes a lot of hard work to have a steady stream of orders, but in my eyes its worth it because I love it so much. I'm constantly tweaking and improving my shop, it never ends!

I'm so sorry Cat! All that stress is not good for your tummy. :( I would definitely talk to him about pitching in a bit more...I don't have a job, but I would feel really guilty if I spent my time like that, well, except for when I feel REALLY bad. Hopefully it will turn around soon and he can...

It definitely sounds like you need to get a scope! I am so sorry you have not gotten anywhere with this GI. So the GI has been told by this surgeon that you need a scope? Can you go back to your GP and get another refferal for an entirely new clinic to see another GI? It sounds like you need to...

Oh goodness, that stinks! I completely understand what you mean on preferring one set of symptoms over the other.... you really can't get away from every symptom, you just have to pick and choose which ones you want to trade out for new ones. >.< What weird concept! I hope they are able to find...

Oh goodness, it sounds like your little girl is having a really rough time! Patience is key, even though it must be so hard to watch her be so uncomfortable from all that in her intestines. :( I know of another member of the forum who had experiences like that, Keepingfaith. She has her story in...

I wanted to pop in here...I also have Lupus, with a ton of digestive symptoms to boot. My lupus is attacking either the very outer layers of the intestines or the connective tissue, so I get crohn's like symptoms from it. You are not alone! I have diarrhea all the time.... it seems like the...

Thats great news star! I hope the new specialist can figure it out. Wow, another person that might not have Crohn's, but another autoimmune disease.....There is a pattern emerging! BTW, I love your new avatar. I LOVE that show!! Cat, I tried to get it changed back, but my doctor's response was...

If it is your small intestine, you could have a pill cam procedure done to see if it can see the problem. You swallow a camera the size of a pill, and it goes through your digestive system taking pictures. I had one done once they thought it was my small intestines that was creating the issue...

I agree with the others, I think you were fine because it hadn't hit your large intestine yet. I made the mistake of eating pizza after a colonoscopy, and the mistake didn't hit me for a little while. Everything is empty! I know you are going to hate me for saying this, but it is actually good...

Yes we have Sunshine! Honestly, I really hope yours is drug induced and it goes away, even if it just takes a few months.. I would never wish this on anyone! Don't even get me started on how the doctors treat these unique cases.... >.<.

Estrella, oh my gosh! Were they able to figure out why you were having the symptoms you were having? Does it all make sense now? I am so sorry they found polyps... :( Sunshine, it sounds like your case is a lot like mine. I have inflammation around my heart as well, and I have severe...
