I have been dealing with fistulas since the age of 10. I know where you are coming from and feel so saddened to hear when other people are going through the same thing. Every day it is so hard to...
I too have a BAD stricture and am waiting to have surgery till November. I get so aggrevated as well about how unhealthy I eat - it seems the more white products and processed foods I eat, the better...
I get lots of headaches and I think its from my Humira. Like many others on here, shortly after my shot I get them and they can last for a few days. I also just discovered Exedrin Migraine and that...
Just a Drop is AMAZNG. It has saved me from embarrassing smells at work, home, and public restrooms. My boyfriend and I always have one in each of our bathrooms. I was very reluctant that such a...
Thank you so much for all your advise. I have started the Canasa suppository. I am getting a few tests done and I also increased my Humira from 10 days to once a week. Hopefully these things will...
Since starting my Humira I haven't had a problem with D. Every once in awhile, if something I ate bothers me I will have a little D but lately its been normal, prob due to the stricture. Sometimes I...

I can refer you to my dr. She is at Jefferson in Philly and believe me, I have seen SOO many GI's out there from Cleveland, to NYC, to Jersey, to Philly and I am so fortunate to have found her. Email...
John510- where in NJ are you located? I am from the central shore area of jersey. Def get into finding a GI. PCP's are great and all for little stuff but this disease is serious stuff. I'm 27 and...
Yes I agree totally that a liquid diet jump starts you out of a flare. I'm going through it now and even if I ate mashed potatoes my intestines would be wrathing in severe pain. A week of pureed...
