My hubby was diagnosed with Crohns in Aug of last year. He is currently on Imuran...think that's how its spelled. Over the past month his symptoms have got worse. He has been having an increase in abdominal pain,no appetite, very tired but having a hard time sleeping, and joint pain. He doesn't have D but is having what we call peanut butter poop. We went to our GI last week and he didn't really say much beside getting his blood work done and put him on tecta for heartburn, he hasn't started the tecta as of yet. Does this sound like he could be in a flare? should I get him to make another appointment with our GI? I know he's going to have his ups and downs with this illness but we are still kind of new to crohns. Mind you this website has helped us out a lot :)
 
It is a definite possibility that he could be flaring. If it goes on much longer I would say call the doc and get him in to see him.

Glad you found the forum :) everyone here is wonderful!
