Hi all, I’ve recently tried some of the salts confidence BE pouches, after wearing one for a day I thought they was really good and ordered a box from my supplier. after having these for around a week I’ve found that 4 out of the 7 I’ve used has spilt in one place or another, my question is...

Hi all, I told you all the lovely story of my angry fissure that I have had for a little over 8 weeks now from the first symptoms, last week it really got me down how sore it was and literally brought me to tears every time I needed to go the loo. I made a joke of it in my post last...

Cheers, The doc gave me some metronidazole to take for 7 days to see if that helps, and I have a date for a MRI scan to see what's going on and if I need surgery on it. (Hope not)

Hello, sorry to hear your little one is going through a hard time, I remember having tummy ache from a very young age and my doctor telling my mom to change my diet! ( which was never a bad diet anyway ) I lost weight as a child while having these pains and they lasted on and off for over 12...

Hi all, After finally getting back on here after so long my work day has been cut short by my very angry fissure! We was friends until around breakfast time when two back to back toilet trips caused a nasty fall out, leaving me pretty much unable to get comfy in any way! So climbing the...

Thanks, Yes I'm on 200mg of azathioprine and have been for 7-8 years now, I was on infliximab with no joy and tried loads of other meds, so aza is the main one I am on. I also take codeine to slow the plumbing down

Hi all, My name is nick, I haven't put a post on here in 2 years for one reason or another so I will start again. I am 36 years old and had crohns for 12 years now, at first I spent 3 years going back and forth to doctors and A&E with tummy ache only to be told each time that " nothing...

Holly that canula might not have been in properly? I've had them in before and what ever they put through it just went straight in to my hand or arm and I didn't get any effect from it? And especially with a small amount of drug going in it wouldn't swell your hand up and potentially go...

Hi Holly, my veins or shocking! It takes several people to get a needle in me, so you're not on you're own, my colonoscopy was cancelled twice due to not being able to canulate me, and then he wanted to do the procedure with nothing! HE HAS NO CHANCE!! Well done on getting through it Nick x

Entinox is just gas that makes you feel as if you have been drinking, and you have to keep breathing it so it works! it doesnt help when you have tummy pains so I don't think it will be better than sedation.

Hi Holly, I'm pretty sure they wont knock you out because they need some input from you whilst the procedure is being done. I think the best thing for you to do is, just before they do the scope and they ask if you have any questions? Tell them how you feel about it and that you are very...

Hi all, I have lots of scarring from previous surgeries which is narrowed and causing me lots of pain when I eat. I went in last Wednesday for a colonoscopy balloon dilation, while they was doing the procedure they found another narrowing from active crohn's. Since I have had this done I'm in...

Hi everyone, My name is nick, I was diagnosed with crohn's about ten years ago, I'm now 34 and although I knew in myself I had crohn's the hospital treated me for a rumbling appendix! For 3 years I was going back and fourth to the doctors and A&E complaining of tummy pains. And after all...
