Insomnia due to Crohn's?

[jenfiske0825]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm almost 38 years old and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2008. I had a small bowel resection that same year. I take Lialda (mesalamine), 1.2 gm tablets, 4 a day. I've noticed that I've been having trouble falling asleep for a while now. Is the insomnia due to the Crohn's? Would love to hear what others have experienced.

Welcome. It is very possible that it is linked to Crohns. Have you mentioned it to a doctor?

I don't suffer from insomnia. I wonder if the Lialda may be the cause?

Do you take the Lialda in am or pm? I never had any insomnia issues when I was on Lialda. Usually when the Crohn's is acting up I have trouble staying awake.
