Hello,
I am new to the forum & have many questions. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease 4 yrs now. I was doing very well, then December rolled in & I have not been well since. The holidays were pretty good eating wise, but now for the last 3-4 wks I have been having very painful cramps & nothing is seeming to help. Went to Urgent Care because as no PCP docs are available once Sat arrives. I was told to double up on my bentyl.............I take 20mg but was told I could take 40mg at 5pm & again before bed time. Scares me to take 40mg at 5 & then again around 11:30-12am. I am currently on Entocort EC but now bumped up to 6mg every morning. Do you all go thru this & if so does anyone have something that they use or take to either prevent the cramps or to help the pain from the cramps. Cramps are all day & night intermittently & sometimes are so bad they make me nauseated. Thank you for your input.
