Not sure if this is where I should be writing my story. But here it is. 49 years old and newly diagnosed with Crohns. Im fairly uneducated at this point and yet to be on any medication except fladgyl and cipro which are killers as far as Im concerned and only take the edge off what's going on. I also use a suppository which does seem to have helped. At this point Im down to just consuming fluids with the exceptions of hard boiled eggs, bananas and plain baked fish. This seems to have helped with the pains and bloating but nothing can help my bottom area. I suspect now its at least one fistula and Im not excited about the remedies I have read online elsewhere. But the constant on and off fever I have been dealing with for 4 years would be great to get rid off. Other than that the biggest problem I have had in the past few years is a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bowels and the sensation that the bowel movement is to large for the colon. Even though they are soft and regular sized when released. Also the pain was excruciating. Before, during and after. I think the suppository's have helped that for now. Any suggestions are extremely welcome!
