:smile:Hi I have found great benefit from excercise for my Crohns. In fact I believe it has been my saving grace. I do mountain biking and find it a great way of relieving the stress and generally it does help my digestion. I do get a bit nervous at times when I go to remote destinations but I...

Go back to your hospital and tell them you want seen by the surgeon who did your op. I ended up have a second surgery 3 months later as I had a knot of scar tissue formed in my TI and a large collection of fluid build up outside my abdominal wall. Not saying this is whats wrong with you but...

Earlier this year in may i had a ruptured appendix removed and a load of scar tissue removed also. I started getting ill again after a month or so . I was repeatedly sent back and fourth from my GP to the Hospital with no conclusion as to was was causing my illness. So I got fed up with this and...

So some of you will know my story and general history on this site as being diagnosed with Crohns of the TI. Earlier in may this year i got quite ill and had to go into hospital. So i got very ill and they eventually decided to remove my appendix as everything else was clear. Anyhow They got a...

Hi This story is so close to home with me . I will cut a long story short and get to the point. When i got really ill in may this year I finally got the surgeon to do a laporoscopy to remove my appendix. He said I had a large amount of scar tissue / adhesions on the outside of my organs and this...

So I was feeling really terrible the last few weeks. really bad colour and I had noticed that my bowel movement where slowing down and becoming a different shape. Feeling as if im going to vomit at every meal. Terrible exhaustion. It got so bad I started taking a few hours of work just to go...

Hi Valleysangel92 Ok your gonna sleep like a baby and probably wake up in the same position that you fell into bed. Its a great sleep. You will feel a little groggy but I found its best not to dwell on it , just get up and go out for walk or some fresh air. I believe its supposed to work like a...

Sarah , welcome to the forum and Im just really pleased for you to get a diagnosis. I know your story quite well and it took me almost years for the doc to even take me seriously. At least now you can get more info and get a better understanding of what the future holds. Even after I was...

When i flare up i get mid back pain. this can be pretty much 24/7 but does ease with excercise eventually and pain killers . I think it goes with IBD in general, weather its your colon or pancreas i dont know . Recently i was rang by my doctor and asked if i had been tested for any liver or...

I think there is no question that GM foods pay a role is gastric problems. I also believe that they have caused or exaggerated many other symptoms that have led to many diseases. There is so much chemical in the food we take every day . Doctor argued with me at the start about my diet , I was...

It would be great if there was some way that your GP could actually test you instead of waiting for a GI appointment which can take months and generally with no definive conclusion. Surely in this day and age ther are specific markers that can be assigned to IBD. Colonoscopies and CT scans I...

Well no X-ray was taken thats why I'm unsure . I'm sure she knows what she's doin . I did have a burning sensation I the tooth for just one night then my upper gum all swoll up for a few days All of this has calmed down apart from the white lump above my tooth. But hopefully the antibiotics...

Hi elr and welcome to the forum. I have been on Asacol for 4 years almost . To start with I believe I had taken three weeks to feel that I was feeling a benefit from the medication. After that I think my body got used to me taking it and things calmed down . I did have bad days of abdominal...

I have this at the moment a small blister on the front of my gum above one of my front teeth . Went to dentist and she told me that it was a infection in my tooth and the nerve had died. I am on antibiotics to clear the infection up and then I have to have root canal done : (. I have had crohns...

Hi and welcome to the Forum Sounds like you have been through a lot over the last few years . I can imagine it's very frustrating indeed with on going issues like this. You say you have been diagnosed with Crohns, is this specific to any particular part of you GI tract or is it a shot in the...

On average i would say 45 minutes before I have to go to the loo, usually sooner depending on the food.

hey Anna First of all DONT GIVE UP, it took me nearly four years to get anywhere. And now all of a sudden my daughter has the same symptoms. Its so frustrating and Im not sure who to blame for the dismissive attitude and arogance of the health service. As far as i see if aint got a big sign on...

Just another piece of nonsense. It makes me so angry I have no words to describe. These people have no idea and they should say so too. Its a discrace how they mess us around without any honesty or common decency. Dismissive arogant B---------. I know if i asked my doctor about this he wouldnt...

Hi Not Azathioprine but Asacol Ive been on and I get sore ankles and wrists with it to the point I have to take pain meds . Its a balancing act all the time.

3 years of IBS diagnosis and multiple scans etc... until it was found by accident I guess. Nothing else eased my symptoms untilIi started on the most basic of drugs, Asacol. After that they gave it a second look and said Crohns of the TI along with Colitis . The Colitis faded and comes back...
