Hi everyone,
Diagnosed with Crohn's this past year. Lucky for me it's mild and predom inflammation is rectal/decending colon. I'm not having too many issues but I'll just knock on wood for that. I'm hoping that this forum can help answer any questions I have and just let me talk with others who have experience in these matters.
3 colonoscopies in 1.5 years but the worst was the lower Intestinal CT scan yikes!

Prescribed
Canasa 1000 mg

Hello and welcome to the forum, there is a lot of help info and support here so I am glad you have decided to join Would you say you are now symptom free or do you still have a few niggles?

I'm not completely symptom free, I sometimes have bleeding and lower abdominal cramping but I am getting more regular. I try to avoid high fiber and wheat foods so that seems to help.

Thanks for all the discussions.

Is your doc aware of the continued bleeding and cramping? How often are you seeing them for check ups?

 

[ChrisTian]

The bleeding has stopped, I just relocated to AZ s I'm a looking for a new GI. The cramping has occurred for a few weeks. Mostly just rectal inflammation but my symptoms are really mild.

Hi Chris and welcome It's good to have you here!

What medications do they currently have you on and what have you taken thus far?

Again, welcome!

 

[ChrisTian]

Check out my first post.

Cheers

Woops, I'm really sorry about that, I'm not sure how I missed that.

Out of curiosity, in all your testing, did they check for c.diff?

 

[ChrisTian]

Nope. I've just recently relocated to Arizona so I'm looking for a new GI.
