appreciate it! :]

Hi, I am about to move cross country and need to find all new doctors! :[ Does anyone have any recommendations for GI doctor located in Colorado? I will probably be closest to the Denver/Fort Collins area, but recommendations for trusted doctors anywhere would be appreciated. Thanks!

So sorry to hear about the hospitalization! Hope you are feeling much better now. Thanks for the info on how they form; very helpful. At my upcoming appointment we are going to talk about.... determining the severity and appropriate reaction, I guess? I'm not too familiar with adhesions, but...

Hi, A small bowel X-ray series recently showed that I have adhesions in scar tissue, and that might be causing some of my discomfort. I had surgery a little over two years ago, and have had Crohn's for about 12 years. I'm wondering if adhesions form only in the scar tissue after surgery, or...

Hi, I've been talking to my doctor about persistent Crohn's related pain. Even with surgery, I've had pain for about 12 years. I have recently been referred to a pain specialist, which I have never looked into in the past. I am going to meet with them to discuss Calmare treatment. Does...

...And still not feeling well! At my recent doctors appointment/colonoscopy, I was told that I am "Crohn's free." Yay.... Except. Still not feeling "Crohn's free." Still random pains set off by who-knows-what, still only able to process a limited diet, still (and the biggest annoyance)...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out here in internet-land takes Colestid? I use it to act as a super-duper strength Imodium, and it seems to work well enough. However, I get stomach pains if I take too many for too many days in a row. (It's a take-as-needed type of pill) On low key days, I...

hi freespirit, just wanted to say that i'm sorry for your struggle. it is really hard and can be no fun :[ i really hope you can find what works for you. i joined an indoor gym -- i love taking walks but appreciate knowing where the closest restroom is! i have done a lot of indoor rock...

hi stella, i am actually dealing with something very similar right now.... currently rounding out a whole month that graduated from cold to ear infection to bronchitis. i had some concerns about all the medicines as well -- everything i typically take for crohns (including 3 pills/treatments...

thank you for your responses! it's so good to chat to ladies that can sympathize! :] (although - so sorry you are dealing with this too!) my gyno has even suggested talking to the surgeon who performed my crohn's surgery about his thoughts on a procedure to break up the scar tissue. has...

yikes! hello, sooooooooooooo crohn's disease is really awful. i have had moderate to (usually) severe crohn's for about 14 years. i had surgery just under 2 years ago. it's easy enough to talk about the stomach-related pains of crohn's (at least with close friends), but how do you try to...
