Hello, Im a new one to the group and here is my story. Not to bore you all I will try and make it short and sweet. I was diagnosed the day after my first son was born feb 11 2007 after I was rushed in for surgery because the "pregnancy pains" weren't that at all but my intestine had ruptured a couple weeks previous. The only thing that kept me alive was the intestine basically suctioned itself to the placenta. I was immediatly hooked up with an ileostomy. I never had the regular symptoms of crohns and yet it was severe enough to do some serious damage. The only symptom I had was stomach aches when I ate raw veggies. I was then put on predisone. After several colonoscopies and a year of being misdiagnosed with what the doctor said was still a severe flare up of crohns and turned out to be "misuse colitis" (which is leisions from not using your bowel) I got a reversal done. (Don't let that one happen to you!!) I am not on any drugs now and I have been pretty much symptom free since and had a 2nd succesful pregnancy with no problems.
I do however have one issue and wondering if anyone knows anything that can help. I have severe stomach distention (bloating). Does anyone know anything that helps with that? Thanks in advance for any feedback
