Anyone with good ideas about mixing the fleet with something else to better the taste? I should take my second drink in 25 minutes? :(

Things can't go any worst!! Even when we have to prepare we have to suffer!!! I wonder why they can’t invent something new!! A small pill that can do this cleaning process!!

My doc wants crystal clear (since he wants to dig deeper into the ileum)!! I called to check whether I can skip the second fleet, but his assistant said that I should take it anyway!! I am fasting since 8:00 am today!! And not planning to eat anything... the fleet tastes so bad and I fear I am...

I do face drastic symptoms changes from time to time, and when i face what you are currently experiencing (not being a result of diet) then this would be signs that a flare up is on the way!! I suggest that you visit your doc before you end up with a severe flare up... :(

Such cases became more common! My employer provided me support to certain extent, in the first two years they have allowed me to travel six times a year for my Remicade, they have even paid me the cost of two Remicade shots... I guess they were not expecting the nature of flare up, and they have...

Hello Kelly, What you've said describes exactly what I am suffering from!! a lot of times i lose the track of words!! I forget what I was talking about and shift to another subject.. Now a day i try to rehearse things in my head before I go into a meeting or write a small scratch that would...

Some of us are lucky, and some are not!! Unlike the case with Astra, my employer is giving up on me after less than 2 months!! (54 days to be specific)!! They now want me to provide a prognosis medical report on the entire case before they decide to on my return to work!! The worst part is that...

Hi Pen, Thank you for the valuable info, and I am very sorry to hear that you might be going through a 3rd resection!! I guess it is very essential to increase the awareness of Crohn's disease among people!! This will definitely help in improving our lives and may be to maintain our jobs!! We...

The only extenuating circumstance is when my employer provides me with more support! I am a manager heading a department, and they believe this might affect achieving Services division scorecard!! Afraid for the affect of business continuity!! But more on the bonus I Guess.. I can only hope for...
