    Probiotic: AKKERMANSIA MUCINIPHILA

    I searched the site but have not seen any discussion around this probiotic specific to CD. Does anyone have any insights they can share? I am currently on Entyvio and adhere to a diet that eliminates fructose, sorbitol and manitol as fodmaps that cause me symptoms. All of this has helped but...

    Possible pill cam complications?

    In March had a colonoscopy that showed no signs of Crohn’s so possibly in remission. Doctors wanted to do pill cam to double check as my ulcers have always been in terminal ilium so possible to miss with scope. Did pill cam in April with no issues except it didn’t get far enough to see...

    Gas pain?

    Can anyone share what is typical Crohn’s induced gas pain? Where does it hurt? How does it hurt? How long and what starts it? What makes it better? Can Gas-X type meds help? I get pain in right rib area, especially with physical activity that will not go away. Doctors are stumped.

    Headed to Mayo

    I’ve been diagnosed with CD for 5 years now due to ulcers in TI. Very atypical in that food is not an issue, no bowel issues per say except occasional constipation when a doctor tries me on a new med, and biologics have caused migraines as well as other challenges that make life miserable.

    Job applications and self-identifying as having a disability

    Has anyone applied for a job and self-identified as having a disability due to Crohn's diagnosis? Just wondering how that has impacted job searches as I see this popping up on many on-line application processes now.

    Neurological issues caused by biologics

    Has anyone had to stop taking their biologics due to neurological side-effects? If so, how long did it take for your neurological issues to go away or did they? Also what treatment did you go to afterwards to control your crohn's?

    Can anyone describe a flare?

    I've been diagnosed with Crohn's for about 3 years now. Very atypical as mine is pretty much exclusively extraintestinal manifestations - I even argued with the doctors (3 different GI's all agreed I have Crohn's) for a while that it didn't seem possible that I had Crohn's because my symptoms...
