Nothing for the Crohn's.

I had the flex sigmoidoscopy yesterday. Everything looks perfect.

I went to my GP yesterday. He ordered a whole host of labs. My flex sigmoidoscopy had be moved to February 3. My contrast ultrasound has been booked for February 19th. I have also had a chronic dry cough that started back in October. Right around the same time in stopped eating lunch because...

I really don't know what to think anymore. My gut doesn't feel as bad as it did. I actually feel pretty decent in that regard, but I have piecing together all kinds of symptoms I have been complaining about for months. I won't hijack this thread though.

I have been on Remicade for 12 years. I don't know if I am experiencing a flare yet or not, but if I am it is my first since starting Remicade. I haven't been able to eat pizza or spaghetti since my diagnosis. Without Remicade I can eat nothing. With Remicade no pizza or spaghetti. I find out...

My GI ordered some labs (blood work and a stool sample). I go for a flex sig on February 1. I will see my GP about a referral to a rheumatologist and I will start on the vitamin D again.

My first colonoscopy, the diarrhea hit me within minutes. For the others I waited and waited and the diarrhea never came. I was in full flare for the first scope. Use wet wipes rather than toilet paper. Diaper rash cream is your friend.

I did have my trough levels done for the Remicade. They were good but on the low end so we increased my dosage.

Can fatigue accompany SpA? My labs for my gi were all good. I so tired of feeling lousy. I just want to cry.

Oh yeah. Good luck!!

Hi Gemma. I've lost count of the number of colonoscopies I've had done so I hope I can reassure you. I'm sorry, I can't help with the 4 litre bowel prep. I have never had that kind. I have always just had to do a glass at a time. Tell them at the hospital that you are really scared of...

I'm not kidding when I say this. I mean it. I still smell my poop. And it really does smell foul. But!!!! Poo-pourri!!!! You can buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond. You spray it in the toilet before you go and it makes the stink go away.

Oh wow, because i question whether I am flaring and I have been an absolute bear. My tolerance level for people is zero!

Thanks Ron. I was diagnosed almost 14 years ago. I will call my GI in the morning and see what he says.

Have you had your B-12 checked? I was losing a lot of hair and it was because my B-12 was really low.

Hey everyone. I am new here. I don't really know what I am looking for. I think maybe just ears that understand. I think I might be flaring up after 12 years of being in remission but I honestly don't know. I know that sounds really strange. How can I not know. The truth is I have felt...
