Hello,
I've been very lucky, as I have been diagnosed with Crohn's for many years, but haven't experienced noticeable flares since the original problem. I use pentasa to manage the disease. Only recently have I had problems with flares.
How do you know when to become concerned about a flare, and when it is time to visit your GI?
I was advised to visit my GI only if there was ongoing diarrhea and ongoing blood. Before my diagnosis, I was not seeing any blood and very little diarrhea. However, a hole was found in the bowel.
Wondering when it is appropriate to see your GI.
