Tweetthis is what they tell me i have. i dont buy it but i got the diagnosis on it after getting dysentery years ago

TweetGreat article Fuzo. hopefully you're right and don't have that guns

TweetThe article is very vague on triggers and causes. Anything acidic including orange juice, tomatoes, tomatoes sauce, anything spicy, dairy, anything greasy and do a low fiber diet. Basically he says meat and potatoes should be the mainstay of my diet.

TweetI have a very hard time reading about this subject. My daughter married a widower who took his wife on a honeymoon in Mexico, knowing she had this condition. She died 3 months later. Is there so much ignorance and so little science about this condition?

TweetMy doc has been spot on for me. I do still eat the things I'm not supposed to be definitely in moderation. I am on s drug called lialda, it's an anti inflammatory and it really helps. I went without it once for almost a year when I had shit insurance and the deductible was ridiculous and I had to pay full price for this medicine $687/month. I was in agony after a few months of not watching what I ate. Bloating, cramping, loss of appetite, and then the bleeding started. Luckily I have different insurance at work now and only pay $50/month for it.

TweetLialda is one of the handful of meds I take for Crohn's. Extremely expensive. $1,000's. At a rough time in life I turned to Shire the drug producer and they filled my script for free until I had insurance so I did not have to switch meds and mess things up inside. Crohn's Disease is one of my earliest memories of life. But I am still here kicking ass : )

your triggers and issues are probably a lot different than mine are though. my big ass cant be far from the shitter when i pretty much eat anything bad haha. some things more than others but that's the biggest issue i have. the pain i can deal with but the running to the shitter 3 or 4 times after eating not so much.

Have you had a colonoscopy by a GI doctor?

TweetThe bleeding accompanies super urgent and uncontrollable diarrhea(sorry for being graphic).

that's a fact baby1 esp when you are a fat guy that loves all food. i dont think i have found many foods that i dont like, they just odnt like me very much haha. i will tell you that adding in the super bio curcummin and some of the other anti inflammatory supps to my lineup has helped a lot with the pain discomfort and bloat. then again i havent had any diary in over 3 months so i wont know completely for sure until i add a little back in

TweetOne of my regional managers has crohns and he gets remicaid? Infusions. I think that was the name. He said it makes a huge difference.
