    Joint pain

    Forgot, my back pain radiates around to my hips. I use ice too, but the Prednisone stopped it, I don't have it any more, it was really bad for a few days. I drink Propel mostly now. Are you sure they will do a pill cam. My doc won't, he is scared it will get stuck in the narrowed spot. Gconner

    Vitamin D and Crohn's Disease

    Hi Clash, it is a small green pill like a vit. E pill, soft inside, easier to digest as you know. I take mine before I go to bed, but I am thinking with food might be better. gc

    Hi Clash, My vit D was zero and my gastroenterologist put me on a prescription Vitamin D2 - 50,000 IU a week. I also take 6,000 IU D3 a day. I was still in the 30's range, then went down again. I have not had it tested lately, but will shortly. I do not know the diff. between D2 and...

    My rant about how unfair crohns is...

    Be brave, I have had this XXXXXX disease for 37 years. Do whatever you want, just carry fresh undies and a washcloth and if you need to clean up, do it. My husband and I, in the 39 yrs. we have been married have ridden a huge harley bike all over the u.s. My doctor always put that in my...
