Thanks everyone, I've had my surgery, it wasn't as scary as I first thought really although not the nicest experience I've ever had! Everything went well although they had to remove more than expected including my appendix. I seem to be recovering well on a soft diet, in pretty scared to try...

Thanks, I've checked with my surgeon & gastro doc, they both say it is too dangerous to wait, I could perferate at any time so I'm booked in for the 22nd. I've not had anything like this before, I'm scared, how much does it hurt?!

hello, I've not posted in ages but always look to this site for advice. I have crohns in the small bowel, I've tried sulphazalazine, steroids, you name it, currently on Humira injections every other week. I have pain, bloating & lots of noise. I like to bury my head in the sand and pretend...

P.S. 3 1/2 weeks!!! That is shocking!!!! I really don't know how you managed to cope with that I find a week bad enough!

I have exactly the same thing too! It's soo good to know that I'm not abnormal! Thanks everyone who replied. I wondered if the skinny part of my intestines made this worse so it gets stuck? Once it's skinny does it always stay that way or after a while of being ok does it go back to normal...

Hi All, I've been in a so called remission for nearly year - great you'd think but I now suffer with the total opposite problem - I'm always constipated! I've been prescribed Movical which I take 1 one day, 2 the next, this makes no difference, when I get to nearly a week of not going I start...

Some of my friends don't get it either, like when they've had a heavy night and tell me I just wouldn't understand how upset their tummy is and how much pain they were in!

Mine has been known to wake me up in the night it's that loud!!! I do find after pressing my tummy it makes it's grumbling noise and the pain eases for a bit!

I've been diagnosed nearly a year and, thank god, not had anything taken out yet! Blood tests recently revealed I don't absorb vitamin B12 and my levels were low. I have 6 injections over 2 weeks and will now have 1 injection every 3 months, I've noticed the difference - I was sooo tiered before...

in remission.. am I eating healthily?! I've been in remission since Easter, after a diet of Modulen and then a no wheat, diary, fruit and veg diet (it was basicly just chicken and rice or plain potatoes) I have been slowly intorducing things. I'm scared to now introduce some of these things...

Mine can makes these noises too, it would wake me up making exactly the same noise with the same space of time inbetween, no stopping it!! It was especially when I used to drink normal, full of lactose milk. It would be so bad that my body shook with it!! I only have lactose free milk and it's...

Hi, I'm in remission now, when I first started to feel better I had seriously bad wind I have normal probiotics (actimel) every day after my dietrician reccommended it - and it all stopped! He says it's because of going to the loo so much there isn't anything good left inside and the pro-biotics...

Hello Everyone!! I'm really new to all this. I was finally diagnosed with Crohns in March after a year or so of being ill, I also have reactive arthritis from the Crohns. I am lucky as my doctors have been brilliant with me all 4 of them!!! After being admitted to hospital many times and...
