    After colonoscopy pain

    I've had similar experience one time, but as others have said if it doesn't clear up in a couple days call your GI. Did they take biopses? In my case they did and had a bit of blood in my stool for the next day and pain last about 2 days and then it went away.

    Crohn's vs Entrepreneurship

    Hey rvh, By redundancy I meant that should anyone in the company not be able to fulfill their responsibility, someone else is able to step up and take over that responsibility without causing too many issues. Say a company needs HR, business development, software development, customer care...

We have a disease that often targets our good bacteria so giving it a super-dose of specific strains of...

    Withdrawal from entocort?

    I am also experiencing mood swings! I hesitant to bring any of this up as I was told Entocort was mild and easily tolerated, but I've been struggling with anxiety/mood swings and chronic fatigue and really want to get off of it! It's good to know I'm not alone in this, even though I'm sorry...

    Withdrawal from entocort?

    First, I am new to the forum. I'm 27/M, been suffering from Crohns for 8 years but was originally diagnosed with IBS and treated it with very careful diet and over the counter drugs for some symptoms. I got officially diagnosed with a 'moderate' case of Crohns 5 months ago and have been on...
