Severe stomach swelling

[twilli13]

New Crohn's diagnosee here. My lower abdomen is chronically swollen. Curious if anyone else had this swelling and some tips for how you lessened this in your experience. Nothing I try seems to work...no matter what I eat, and I am taking probiotics and Pentasa.


Thanks

My stomach is also swollen most of the time, but I haven't figured out how to make it go away, sorry!!!

Looking at your other posts ( regarding constipation) I would be concerned that you have narrowing, and the swelling and constipation could be as a result of the food being physically unable to move normally through the digestive tract. Have you had any tests like a barium follow through to rule this out?
