Avatar f tn Hi - sorry to hear of your Crohn's diagnosis, but as a 38 yr "survivor", you can lead a happy and full life with this disease as there are so many new drugs available, other than steroids, which was the only med prescribed for Crohn's until about 10 yrs ago. I had a month or so on Entecort (budesonide here in England) but had a severe rectal haemorrhage and was hospitalised on IV steroids and needed blood transfusions.
Avatar f tn I have been having symptoms of a Crohn's flare, severe nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss of 18 lbs in last 6 weeks,steatorrhea, pain in mid chest and right upper quadrant. Had CT scan 2 weeks ago which showed significant inflammation in terminal ileum and old pancreatitis with calcification. Gastroscopy last week showed oesphagitis.Biopsies taken. MRI scan Nov 2007 showed two strictures in small intestine.
Avatar m tn I started having abdominal pian in September 2009 (sudden onset). I was sent to the ER where apendicidis was ruled out and I was refered to a GI doctor. I've had multiple colonoscopy's, follow-throughs, upper GI's, one pill camera, and CAT scans. Every test showed thickened intestinal walls of the terminal illium, portions of the small intestines and colon. I have been hospitalized twice and placed on solumedrol both times and it has been effective.
Avatar f tn I have lived with Crohn's for 15 years and over time have learned to manage it through watching what I eat and drink, and keeping my stress levels low as well as regular exercise. Being very open-minded, I have tried acupuncture, massage therapy, and other alternative treatments and found some relief physically but they financially put a drain on you.
Avatar n tn He has been on budesonide for 4 weeks with no results. He also takes esomeprazole with no results. When she did the cameraoscopy she saw what she called white fuzz at the beginning of lower intestines. We did a round of fungal meds. No results. Can anyone help please.
Avatar f tn I am a 24 year old who just a few months ago, had my world turned upside down. I began with flu-like symptoms, trembling, cold sweats, instability/fast heart rate. Symptoms continued throughout the day. The next day I went to ER treated for dehydration. A day later symptoms continued and I went to a different Hospital where they treated me for anxiety- I have NEVER been an anxious person, quite the opposite.
48668 tn?1201543083 This is the response from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America on whether there is a connection between Crohn's Disease and Type 1 Diabetes: We don't know of any research that has indicated a connection between diabetes and Crohn's.
Avatar n tn I was not familiar with "Perianal Abscesses" so I checked out a couple of sights. On one sight it did say that some people are more susceptible to perianal abscesses such as those that have: Diabetes, Aids or HIV, Crohn's or persons on medications that suppress the body's immune system, such as steroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone), or those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer ..........so I do not think that it is indictive of having Crohn's.
Avatar n tn is it possible to have crohn's disease while having none of the symptoms and being on no medications for almost 10 years.
Avatar f tn For several years now I have been suffering from abdominal pain on my right side as well as acid reflux, nauseau, vomitting, constipation and diarhea. Since 2001 I have had several surgeries to try and fix the problem. They include: having my gall bladder removed, two surgeries for endometriosis, a total hysterectomy and my appendix removed. The doctors that I see have done several tests including a pill cam, several ct's, xrays and blood work.
Avatar f tn What are the symptoms for an Crohn's disease? Can it lead to any kinda complication like Arthritis? Anyone can explain it precisely?
3242115 tn?1447004766 I was told I may have Crohn's Disease due to my symptoms and am waiting to hear back from a specialist as to when I can have a scope done. I also have suffered with Bulimia and know of a few cases where the eating disorder has in fact caused the disease due to the unhealthy ways of eating and then regurgitating the food back up.
Avatar n tn Hello, I had uncontrolled Crohn's back in 2006, ended up perforating my ilieum in 2007. I was on Asacol, Entocort, and numerous other drugs. Since my bowel resection, my symptoms went away...just as quickly as they came on. I stayed on Azothiaprine for 2 years 2007 to Dec 2009 but have now stopped that too. I don't know if this helps but I eat off the Maker's Diet, which is basically just eating raw, unprocessed foods, organic. It tastes great and I feel better.
Avatar n tn I am regularly using Ventloin, Fomertrol+budesonide and Motelukast+LC. The only problem is breathlessness arising from throat tightness. I never wheeze in the life. The throat tightness is getting reduced when i take Ventolin. The doctor say i don't have to take ventolin beacause Fomertrol+budesonide and Motelukast+LC. will prevent the difficulty. But only medicines which seems to be working is Ventolin and Motelukast+LC.
Avatar n tn Oral manifestations of Crohn's disease are granulomatous lesions. It rarely involves periodntal tissue.However, Crohn's disease may be associated with food intolerance.
Avatar n tn Over that period I have tried different combinations of Prednisolone, Budesonide, Salazopyrin, Singulair and Colpermin, all with limited success. Presently, I am taking Budesonide (9mg daily) and Salazopyrin (150mg daily). Whilst this allows me to function normally (i.e. normal bowel movements) I have discomfort, bloating and cramping all day, every day. Has anybody ever come through this disease to lead a normal life, or has anyone treated a patient that has done so?
776872 tn?1247938680 So i was diagnosed yesterday with crohns disease in the small intestine, they have put me onto prednisolone tablets.The tablets are 5mg each but i have to take 30mg a day. I toke them yesterday and today everytime i've been toilet it has still been diaahrea but i don't expect this to get back to 'normal' for atleast a week anyways. i have also been put on calichew d3 which is calcium and vitamin D. Have you been on prednisolone if so.has it worked did you have side effects.
Avatar f tn For the past 3 years, I have been getting recurrent canker sores. They would apprear twice a month. They disappeared only when I was in my secong and third trimester of pregnancy. I did various tests and a colonoscopy to rule out Crohn's disease. I also did the ASCA and ANCA blood tests. My colonsocopy was normal. ANCA was negative but ASCA was positive. I dont have the classic symptoms of Crohn's (diarrhea). is a positive ASCA an indicator of Crohn's?
Avatar n tn Is crohn's disease hereditary? My grandson’s Dad has crohn's. My grandson is only 3 years old. He suffers with severe diarrhea frequently. Should we be concerned at 3?
Avatar n tn //www.webmd.com/ibd-crohns-disease/crohns-disease/crohns-disease-diagnosis#1 The doctor would first likely do a physical exam and go from there with other needed testing. In reading your full question, your partner has had a good deal of testing. Has the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome been mentioned? There seems to be some commonality with the symptoms of that in the information you've presented. https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar f tn I have been struggling with severe abdominal pain since January of 2016, I have made 4 emergency room trips, 3 CT scans, multiple ultrasounds, and still seem to leave undiagnosed to just DEAL with whatever it is, or survive on the narcotics I keep getting prescribed. So, I see a gyno (I had endometriosis in the past, popular opinion it had come back.) Went through a laparoscopic surgery in July 2016 to remove said endo, turns out no endo but polycystic ovarian syndrome was present.
Avatar f tn I believe you are talking about Crohn's disease. I got this from Wikipedia: Crohn's disease is an illness that causes the intestines, or other parts of the digestive tract (the parts of the body food goes through), to become swollen, and sometimes develop ulcers (holes). People with Crohn's disease often have pain in the gut, diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss. Crohn's can also cause skin rashes, arthritis, and swollen eyes.
