What meds have you tried for the gastroparesis?...
Thanks everyone!! It has actually been a rough few weeks. Crohn's-wise and everything I'm good, but the antepartum depression for this pregnancy has been more difficult than with kids 1 and 2....
If you can't get into your GI very quickly, try getting into your OB. I actually found my GIs pretty useless about my fistula. They just would tell me to see an OB, and the OB would send me back to...
Keep an eye out for a fever - the trickiest thing about RV fistulas is if they heal to close on just one side, but not the other. Then stuff gets stuck in that little tunnel with nowhere to drain,...
It sounds a lot more like reflux or perhaps an ulcer than it does Crohn's....
EruditePaul, be careful with those patches. They're an NSAID....
Remicade also lowers your immune system, so if you were starting to get a cold, then it could have just sped up the symptoms....
I just had to come share the news - I'm 8 weeks pregnant with baby #3! As some of you may know, we've had 3 miscarriages between #2 and this pregnancy, so I am really excited. We had an ultrasound...

My gums tend to get swollen and even bleed a little when my Crohn's is acting up. My last 3 dentists have all completely agreed it is due to Crohn's. They gave me a prescription mouthwash and a few...
Can you please stop calling it a cure? A cure means it's eradicated and you don't need to do anything to maintain it. Since obviously you will flare if you stop drinking the cannibis juice, it is...
@beave, yep, you're exactly right about the vaccines. Honestly, I wouldn't risk vaginal birth with a fistula. Many women tear during birth, and since you already have damage down there, your odds of...
Welcome! I've had two successful pregnancies (and breastfeeding) while on Remicade. The first pregnancy I was on 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks. The second pregnancy I was on 10 mg/kg every 6 weeks. Both...
Budesonide isn't quite as effective with Crohn's as prednisone, but it does definitely have smaller side effects. Prednisone is pretty rough on the body, and you do want to avoid it until it's...
