Have any of you ever had the camera pill test? I don't know the proper name, but where you swallow a camera and it takes pictures throughout your GI tract? How was your experience with it? :) Thanks!

Does anyone else feel fine when out in public like at a friends house/school but as soon as you come home your stomach starts to hurt and you are in the bathroom every half hour? I spent the night at a friends house last night and was there for the majority of today and I felt fine, but as...

nevilletanner thank you, I had no problem holding off during the MRI, and I went out to lunch and shopping afterwards with my mom for a few hours and was fine, but gosh as soon as I got home, I am going to the bathroom like every 10 minutes.

kiny yeah it was definitely an IV, but near the elbow like you are getting blood drawn, not an IV where it is in the hand/wrist region. Thanks deb123 :)

Thanks for all of the advice! It wasn't bad at all, it wasn't barium, it was a white-ish liquid, which they flavored with a fruit punch flavor (I think they used that mio flavoring) it tasted pretty good actually, I couldn't down all 3 bottles, I did a little less than 2 bottles, but since I am...

Thanks guys! I don't think it will be that bad. I will update tomorrow with how it went :)

nevilletanner yeah at first I thought it would just be an IV contrast but I do indeed have to drink a barium like fluid. It's a MRI enterography (or some other 'E' word) does anyone know if that is different than just a MRI?

Oh and Angrybird, I am not really sure what makes them go back on crohns and UC. Being a kid, no one really tells me much. If I am correct, which I am probably not, I thought crohns was just a more severe inflamed colon, and Ulcerative colitis was just the upper portion of the colon?

Yes I am still on Humira and 6mp, and when I remember I take a probiotic, not a very good one just the Phillips colon health brand, when I finish the bottle I think I will go back to the Floramore brand, it has a pretty bad aftertaste but I think it has more cells/probiotic power. I have cut...

Thanks guys! I hope I can drink it (I probably won't I have a weakness for anything that may taste gross. But I can dream can't I?! hahahahahaha)

I was diagnosed with crohns when I was around one or two years old. I am now 16. My diagnosis has been going back and forth between crohns and UC. Last December I got really sick (during Winter Break so almost no missed school for me BOO!) I am partially homeschooled now, taking half my classes...

Hi I am Tori (which is probably dumb to say, since it is my username) I have looked at this forum many times, but finally decided to join! I am 16 and on Monday I have to get a MRI. The only reason I worry is because you have to drink 3 bottles of some fluid, the woman on the phone said it...
