Hi , yes I'm new! My name is jennifer and I am a 33yr old mother of 3 ages 7, 5 and 3! I have had crohns and ibs for many yrs, and was officially diagnosed 13 yrs ago! Since pregnancy was a challenge with meds I completely went off everything and managed pretty good , until my last pregnancy in 2011! After my third child I was immediately put on Imuran with that my doc was sure I would find some relief!!! Well it turns out my body had an allergic reaction and gave me severe pancreatitis, which I guess only happens to 3% of people taking Imuran ! Well then , my gi retired and I had to meet my new young gi who wanted to do all of his own testing on me, cause he needed to diagnos me for hisself , so s copes showed uslcers and inflammation and whatever! ! Nov 2012 I had a stricture that had to be surgically removed! The surgery was jan 13 2013 !! This is when I fell into depression and have had bad anxiety ever since! I was put on methotrexate and humira ! My crohns was still active and did not go into clinical remission until that summer! Still having lots of diarrhea !! Bile salt and from ibs!!! So what was the point!! I guess I had to have it because of potential bowel obstruction! So now I sit here today still having cramps++ and diarrhea ++! I came off my mtx and humira , no change! I now just take codeine for my bowels!!! I guess that sums up my my history! Sorry to bore you!!
