Hi, I have also had to cope with infertility from Crohn's/endometriosis. We tried to get pregnant for 5 years, and then I was put on Clomid which we affectionately call the "crazy pills" I felt like I was losing my mind, and was even suicidal. I went to a counsellor who told me that anxiety...

I have BAD PMS when I ovulate on one particular side (my right) because that's where my Crohn's is the worst. I am bloated for almost 2 weeks straight and feel like absolute crap. I am very joyous when my period actually starts because finally the agony is over. I can't be on the pill because...

If you are just starting the diet, don't eat the nuts or seeds yet. It will irritate things for sure. The yogurt is key! I always eat 2 eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese from the microwave and then I put my homemade ketchup on it! sounds gross, but tastes oh so good! Also, I have a couple...

I've certainly noticed a co-relation btw my CD and my menstrual cycle. I feel more bowel distress about a week before...( "normal" women can also experience bowel distress during PMS as well), and during the first few days of my period, I have problems with constipation, which leads to fissure...

Yeah, sorry about that....first time posting anything, anywhere. Jana

hi, I'm Jana Hi Everyone, I am new to the forums, but I read them a lot when I need to feel like I'm not the only one with this crazy disease. I have had CD/UC since high school, and I am in my mid-thirties now. Up until this year, I have had little or no difficulties with my CD/UC, but have...
