I was diagnosed with Crohn's just over a year ago. I was told I have moderate Crohn's and I had several ulcers in my colon. I have been in remission since then and haven't had any problems (except for one false alarm where I was just stressed). I just got my blood work done a few days ago and...

Scottyster, what probiotics are you on? I'm looking to start taking some, but don't know where to start.

Hi guys! Thanks for your wonderful responses! scottmyster, what are you usually on when not on steroids? I just talked to a doctor/professor here at my school who not only had Crohn's patients but also has had Crohn's himself for many many years and his son has Crohn's as well. He shared with...

2 pieces of great news! :) 90% on the first exam and I got my blood works back, no inflammation! My CRP was <1!!! And I'm not anemic anymore! I guess the pains/symptoms I was having was just stress. I'm tapering down on the Prednisone now. :) Glad to share good news. :) How are you doing?

So I've done just over a week on Pred, feeling better, but still having some pain... not too bad.. so I'm not sure if it's symptoms of the flare or just 'normal' stabbing feelings in my guts.. I'm going to see the doc again today to follow up, see how long I'll have to stay on Pred. Btw, what...

Thanks Andrea! Great, now I have a good excuse, I love the gummy vitamins :) That's a good idea, spread out the vitamins at least. Yeah Immodium is my lifesaver, especially if I'm nervous about something I'm about to do, I have to take it before any symptoms to stop from running to the bathroom...

Yeah the 60mg was pretty bad for my sleep... I would wake up in random hours of the night... Have you had those problems? But with the last time, and this time, I have also been on Pentasa, which my doc said may not be strong enough... We'll see! I started the 20mg Prednisone this morning. I...

So I just went to my new doc today. He was really great at answering all my questions. I am getting on Prednisone, 20mg, for a few weeks. Not sure how long, but I'm doing a follow up with him next week. Last time (with a different doc) I did 60mg and tapered down to 1mg in only 15 days, this new...

Thank you so much!!!!!! I am going to a new GI doc today actually. I hope he'll be a good one! By the way, has anybody heard of Low Dose Naltrexone?? Is anybody taking it?

diagnosed earlier this year Hi all, First off, it's comforting to see that I'm not the only one with these problems. I got diagnosed in April this year. I had no idea what was wrong last November, when I would get home from school and sleep 12-16 hours a night. I have had back pains since I...
