The Humira seems to be working but have only been on it a month. Just December. But they also have me on prednisone... only for another 2 weeks they had to put me on it after my recent hospital visit before I got my injections sent to my house for the Humira. I will keep you updated on how they injections are but I hear good things.

What is Remicade? I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and acute ulcerative colitis in October after 3 years of flares that they kept misdiagnosing and back then my first ct.scan showed it was inflamed and attacking the left side of my colon and now after all the flares iv had over the years my entire colon is screwed and small intestine and they just skipped over me trying pills and went straight to taking injections (Humira)

I was just  diagnosed with Crohn's in early December.  The BRAT diet helped for about 10 days.  GI MD put me on Prednisone first which helped a whole lot.  Now shifting to Budesonide.  This came out of the blue.  Totally a surprise.  Only found out because of results from routine colonoscopy.  Freaked me out for a while.  But I'm learning how to experiment and find foods that agree with me.  Fortunately I like my GI MD who is compassionate and responsisve to my questions.  I had a R&Y gastric bypass 3 years ago and am wondering if that might have been a contributing factor for getting the Crohn's.  Could use some buddies to help me cope with all this.  Happy New Year and Happy New Decade to us all.

I really considered Cannabis to help put me to sleep and not feel the pains at night. I asked my primary care about it and she told me that although it's not backed by the medical community, it is worth trying since it is an all natural plant.

I was diagnosed in sept. And still suffering.  Have stomach pain and nausea and now wonder if I have I have the flu on top of the colitis. Due for colonoscopy on the 19th. Dr. Has never asked for a stool sample. Doesn't that seem weird.

if you know how your body can handle pills then i would say maybe, but i would consider changing your diet until you think that you have got it fiquered out

Hi. I have been newly diagnosed wirh ulcerative colitis and due to collect my medication today called mesalazine and mezavant granules.

im very confused whether to take the medication or not. Should I try changing my diet first?

To be honest I’m very fit , gym every day , only gave up amateur boxing 11 months ago. I’m gutted and very confused.

my partner seems to think I am putting the pain on and the fact that I can’t control bowel movements which only adds to the stress.

Any assistance would be much appreciated

I was diagnosed back in July, my first doctor really didn’t know what he was doing. Funny story, as he took me to the colonoscopy he was laughing and singing! This freaked me out. Right now I just got my first remicade treatment. Looking for a friends to connect with too. It’s hard to be alone through something like this, but you have everyone here!

Hi, I was diagnosed just about a year ago, and from May of last year when I started my meds to January I still wasn't 100%--the upset tummy was not as frequent, but I still did have pain and relatively frequent upset. Before trying to introduce new foods, make sure you are going a fews days with little to no symptoms, and then try the new food once and wait a few days. You may be expecting too much from the meds if you are trying new foods within the first few months. I also found that adding in a supplement of CBD oil twice a day helped my symptoms allievate.

I understand the battle. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at 14yo and suffered for 10 years with GI doctors that never explained how to heal or improve. I became a naturopathic doctor and learned how to heal and stay in remission. I have been medicine free for 10 years and did not have surgery because of natural medicine. First intervention is diet: remove common food allergens corn, wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs, potatoes. Avoid carageenan in milks and foods. Avoid sugar! L-glutamine, probiotics, omega 3, Vitamin C and E can all help. Castor oil on tummy every night with heating pad can help restore structural integrity. Exercise 3x per week to keep things moving and improve immune system. Find a holistic, naturopathic doctor. They will teach you how to improve your health and stay in remission. Hope this helps :)

Hi Evvy1010,

So sorry to hear about you being diagnosed with Chrohn's Disease.  Being diagnosed with any type of IBD is definitely life changing, and can be hard to accept at first.  

It's good you are working on keeping up your nutrition and strength, as well as staying hydrated.  Those are all VERY important in helping to keep you somewhat healthy, at least.  You may also want to try some type of protein shake with other vitamins and nutrients in it as well.  I myself, like the taste of the Atkins protein shakes, and those seem to be fairly easy on my stomach.  I am newly officially diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, which is another form of IBD, as you probably already know.  I'm not sure how much research you have done yet about IBD, but the more you know about them, the better it will be for you in the long run, especially.  I'm also still dealing with being pretty sick as well, so I know how upsetting and tiring it can be.

Good luck and take care.  Feel free to keep in touch with me too.  :)
