Hi All,
I was diagnosed in November '08 after 25 years of horrible stomach aches (I'm 26 now). I was put on Asacol which was helping in the beginning, but hasn't been doing much of anything for me over the last month (maybe I need a higher dosage or new meds?). I've been very careful as to what I eat, but every now and then an ingredient will slip past and I won't realize until it's too late. It causes such horrible stomach aches. My stomach bloats to the point where I look like I could be pregnant and I feel like with every breath I take I'm at risk that my stomach might just tear open down the center like a seam. Pepto doesn't do anything for me, other than make me more sick; so I was curious as to whether or not you guys know of anything I can take for the pain? I'm in agony! Thanks!

Try the Garden of Life. From Jordan Rubin. He has a company that gives herbs for crohns and he has a book that is amazing. Although 25 yrs of pain from crohns. I cant imagine. Not knowing what the... is going on. The stuff he went through to find a cure. The book is called Patient Heal Thyself. I take Primal defense and Perfect food from him. Primal has HSO. Homeostatic soil organisms. Organisms found in soil. He has a really good diet too. I have never been able to stick to it. But take those two above, along with a drug called Balsaladize. Hope this helps.

when was the last time you had a colonoscopy to check the progression/status of the disease. is it UC or Crohns? As far as the stomach aches, I use to have the dull bad aches on the lower portion of my stomach, there wasnt much I could do with those, but if you are having just bloating and pain from bloating i would just suggest a probiotic, it will at least help balance your system, Flora-Q is a good one, there is also one from Forever Living (i can giv you more info on that) that is a probiotic as well. it all helps balance your stomach. but its not a pain reliever, but it helps, and is something you should probably take regardless.
