Hi everyone ~
I was diagnosed Aug 2011 with crohn's. Last summer had other health issues that caused me to flare. Thought all was getting better, however, in the last 2 wks when I've eaten something new - turkey sandwich, beef stew, I've had cramping and muddy stool. (Ate these before w/no issues?) No blood and only go once. My right side becomes very, very sore. Know I have a stricture and I'm thinking when stool is forced to go thru quicky it becomes swollen and tender? I take Librax as needed for pain.
I was taking brand name Endecort and actually felt fine. Then the generic became available 4 months ago and that was when I started having issues? Cannot get brand name as pentaly co=pay is $230/month. Not happening.
My appetite seems like it is becoming reduced and my diet seems so restricted? What do you think is happening? And what do I need to do to control this?
Thanks for all your replies ~
Nancy
