    Acid Reflux, Gerd, and Ranitidine

    Hello everyone. I know this isn't exactly Crohns (which I also have) but I wanted to get some advice on my issues. I have always had bad acid reflux and taken pantoprazole for years. I caught a bad bug a few years ago and was throwing up for hours and after that the acid reflux got worse. My...

    Started taking Vesicare

    Amitriptyline Causing Insomnia?

    Ok I've been on 10 mg at night of Ami for about 2 weeks or so. The side effects have been fairly mild, probably cause of the low dose. I have Crohns and Interstitial Cystitis and both seemed to improve a tick. The past four nights though, I have absolutely terrible nights of sleep. I have slept...

    Itchy err well you know

    Ok I'm thinking about starting Humira, but there is one thing I'm worried about. For years I have had an itchy anus and a little bit under the testicles. Occasionally it smells not so great. I've taken anti fungals and antibiotics as well as used a host of creams, ointments, etc. They have...

    Remicade

    Just wondered if anyone had taken Remicade (injected every two months) and what the results were? I also have Interstitial Cystitis so I am worried about anything that will negatively affect the bladder. Thank you

    Fungal Infection

    Ok for about a good year now, I have had a fungal, yeasty-smelling infection in my anus and a good way up the underside of my scrotum. I have tried every kind of prescription cream, an anti-fungal medicine, diflucan, the whole works, and nothing has gotten rid of it. I have just been seeing my...

    Insurance

    Ok, so the insurance I am on will run out at the end of the year (Cobra Anthem PPO). I am 27 and a full time student. My school offers a health insurance through united healthcare but I have a pre-existing condition (crohn's disease and interstitial cystitis) and therefore I don't think that...

She's went to the low-cost clinic gyne and they gave her diflucan which didn't help (she doesn't have insurance). Shes been taking 50 billion vaginal...

    Vitamin D

    Hello everyone, I recently found out I am deficient in Vitamin D (which apparently is common in crohns patients). My level is 23 and my doctor gave my 50,000 IU's to take once a week for 12 weeks. That seems like a lot of Vitamin D, what do you guys think?

    Is asacol an immunosuppressant?

    From what I've read it isn't but some confirmation would help. I started taking probiotics a month ago and they have helped but I read that probiotics and immunosuppressants can react negatively with each other, thanks.

    This is my story......this may be our last chance

When I was younger every few months I would get really terrible stomach aches and be in the bathroom for a while. I just thought that was normal and didn't think...
