I know how it goes, I got sick and had to basically miss out on half the Cheerleading season. And now I think I won't be able to do track this winter either. My friends all think I'm crazy... :/ I look like a total slob too, for the last week I have just been going to school in sweats with my...

Has anyone else ever had to go to a 504 disabilities meeting before? I just went to my first one and it was so awful. Just wondering if I'm the only one.

I've been diagnosed for a decade now, and I'm sixteen, so I've pretty much had Crohn's my whole life. Don't worry, it gets easier. I'm on prednisone at the moment and look like someone took a halo pump to my face. I hate it, but basically have learned to accept it. You should talk to those...

When ever I'm in a flair my period stops... No idea why. But hey, one less thing to worry about, right?

I try my hardest to do all the sports I can through my school. My true love is Cheerleading, but I also do track and lacrosse. When I'm not flaring, I can basically do whatever I want when it comes to physical activities. But if I'm in a flare, exercise is a major no-go. Basically, running and...

I never told anyone about it until last year... I missed a bunch of school and people started saying that I was anorexic, which I am not. :/ Actually, telling people has been fine. I think it was kinda driving me nuts to not tell my friends what was really going on. And after I just told it to...

Thank god it's not just me! I thought my guts had swollen shut or something... :P It feels kinda funny down there... Not sure why, but I think its a bad sign. I'm not going to school tomorrow and am hoping that it will resolve itself at this point. Ya I'm still not sure about the surgery...

Ya... all the issues are kinda intertwined, so it more like on giant snowball of unpleasantness than multiple things... ;) Ugh, another doctor. I'll have to email my GI doc and ask him for a recommendation on who to go to. Thanks!

Thanks, all the people on this site seem really nice! It's good to hear that I am not the only one who's parents admire their poop, and my parents aren't the only ones who are this obsessive. Oh and Crabby, you just hit 5,000 posts. Congrats. ;)

I'm sorry that you are in so much pain... You know what I did the first time I went to the ER? They were not paying attention to me and the pain was unbelievably bad. So, I took their Christmas tree ornaments box and threw up in it. That got their attention really well. :3 The time after that...

Whoever posted this is a small genius. :3 lol.

I'm so sorry that you are so sick right now, don't worry, you are not alone. I'm new to this forum thing too, but not Crohn's. I've had it for a decade now, and I'm only 16. Anyway, when I get sick I go on an all-Ensure diet. Ensure is sold at CVC, grocery stores, target, pretty much anywhere...

Keep Crohn's Lighthearted; new to the forum, not Crohn's. Ive never used a site like this before, but I had some questions and fgured, what better way that this to get them answered! And I think it'll be nice to talk to some others like me. XD So, here is me: Age: 16 Sex: female Diagnosed: Age...

Super weird question: has anyone ever done an enema and the liquid just never came back out?! I had to do one this afternoon and it has been like 4 hours now and nothing ever came back out... It's kinda freaking me out a little! Normally it's like, sorry, an explosion literally. Does this mean...

I tried doing the total clean out thing, one word: impossible! I apparently have no will-power. :P I did find a way though! First I cut out dairy, which made me worse, surprisingly. So I went back on it. Then I moved onto gluten, no change, so I went back on it. Then I tried taking out refined...

I've never had joint pain before, it just started recently. I think it is called "peripheral arthritis". The pain moves around between all my major joints, but it is worst in my knees. I was almost in tears earlier today when I bent over my mirror to put my makeup on! My doc basically said it...

Low fiber and low residue diets are not really the same thing. I guess they are like rectangles and squares: a low residue thing is probably low fiber, but a low fiber thing is not necessarily low residue. For example, fruits: a lot of them hardly have any fiber, but are high residue. You can...

I am only 16, so my GI doc is pediatric. The practice has a nutritionist that basically works specifically with people with IBD. So, she knew hat she was doing. I guess if you want to go to one, make sure they are familiar with IBD. Maybe ask your GI doc for a recommendation? I personally would...

Thank you! I read some of the posts on the link... I guess I am feeling a little better about this whole thing. :)
