That doesn't sound ideal Labaradorite... You should not have any pain. Might be worth a scan, but I hope it settles....
Xeljanz is a JAK inhibitor, and no cases of peripheral neuropathy using it. Hope you find some relief....
Yeah, my background. The small intestine handles nutrient digestion. The large bowel mostly absorbs water and a few minerals. Since UC affects the large bowel, protein digestion and absorption should...
Yes poopydoop, that is exactly the case. Not sure why you need to be so rude IBD girl? I am, in fact, an authority in this case. I'll avoid helping you if you prefer. Take care...
Very sweet of you to apologise clo, all good. At the time, dissolvable meshes were not that successful. They usually take about 6 months to dissolve. That time is needed to build a solid wall of scar...
That's what I said.... " A couple of grams of free amino acids (not a lot) delivered via suppository, could be absorbed into the blood stream and circulate. It isn't like topical medications such as...
Yeah I'm sure. Digestion of protein is complex. Gastric juices begin the breakdown, then pancreatic and intestinal enzymes continue to break down the peptide bonds into smaller peptide bonds, and...
I had a double inguinal hernia, repaired with mesh. It had gotten really bad after surgery, to the point I couldn't walk without a tight hernia belt. I did do some research as some people have...
I did the test as part of a genetic study into IBD (just a blood test.) The list of medications that are affected by genetic makeup was extensive. They categorize drugs into long lists, showing which...
Along with straydog's comments I'd add that you have a perfect right to ask your surgeon what went wrong and how it might be different this time. Good luck, and yes it is horribly frustrating....
Unfortunately those amino acids don't go straight to the area. They will get absorbed into the blood stream, and are then used by the body in the normal way. It's probably better to simply eat more...
Huh?...
This isn't some game, where we can debate philosophical points of view in flowery terms. When someone spreads misinformation, mistruth, and is corrected so many times by so many people, yet continues...
The vaccine does not alter genes. Bill Gates doesn't need more money. Dr Fauci has not colluded with the vaccine makers in order to defraud the public and make money. (Some people abuse 'free...
You see Clo, recidivist, cannot stop dredging up nonsense about 'gene altering' etc from the rabbit holes of the dark web....
Thanks Jane, clo, Michelle, poopydoop, CC ✌️👍...
Doesn't sound like Crohns at all. You sound healthy. Go live your life and be happy. If you get any other issues at a later date, deal with them as they appear. Take care...
Young people don't spread the illness??? And only older people are really at risk?? Wow. Someone else take this one :(...
These things are scary indeed. However, the incidence of Bell's palsy in the trials was still lower than the normal incidence in the general population. It's important not to panic and draw unfounded...
Some people love conspiracy theories. They want to believe that Bill Gates, Dr Fauci and the 'government' have created the pandemic to profit from it. They want to believe the testing is all bogus,...
Saying that : " the PCR test can produce false positives", does not mean it is inaccurate or unusable! It has to be used correctly of course. Saying that Mullis said, back in 1993 : " the PCR was...
You can claim it is free speak to lie and spread disinformation. I call it what it is. I don't appreciate your character assassination clo. Practice what preach perhaps....
Claiming that someone who died before covid started, somehow said PCR was not reliable for covid - neither credible, nor useful....
That's all very nice Clo. But we have a recidivist poster for whom no amount of correction ever alters their behavior. Posting utter garbage dredged up from the dark rabbit holes of the internet is a...
Derrick Boze!!! The whack job who claimed 5G was causing covid, but later apologised. There's no level IAC won't stoop to, in order to spread conspiracy crap....
Ah the YouTube warriors... where would we be without them. Who needs actual,science....
Ewa you are right that aspirin is also known as ASA, acetyl salycilic acid. 5-ASA is actually amino salycylic acid. Aspirin is an NSAID , so not recommended long term for IBD patients....
Aspirin seems to cause diffusion of H+ ions accross the gastric barrier. That creates physical erosion, and prolonged platelet bleeding. Of course taking aspirin sporadically isn't really a problem....
Another very interesting, clever, small molecule that reduces the inflammatory response....
Glad entyvio is helping her. Well done. It's extremely unlikely entyvio is causing inflammation in her big toe. Entyvio binds to a specific integrin which is expressed on a small subset of...
Aww look, coffeemate has dragged himself out again. Even IAC prefers you not defend him lol...
Another ludicrously biased and ridiculous view presented by IAC! Think of it the way it is intended. What if some whacko anti-vax parents refuse to allow their kids to get vaccinated. And what if the...
Groan, no that isn't what happened. The reason the shares got sold is because they reached a predetermined price. Months earlier, as permitted and regularly done by executives, he (and others) set a...
A few judgy know-it-all people around, who try to shame sick people because they can't eat "healthy"! How do you know that guy didn't need some calories and some carbohydrates? Sick people can't...
IAC, you happily go down the rabbit holes of the internet to dig up obscure nonsense. Thankfully, most see through it....
As usual we have IAC spreading utter nonsense. The Liberty Beacon is a far-right conspiracy and pseudoscience website, and should not be taken as a reputable source. It saddens me that misinformation...
The leading ones are genetically engineered RNA, having instructions to make a protein which prompts an immune response (so the immune system learns how to kill the virus.) Nothing live. Extremely...
It means your body is destroying the humira. Usually they try to increase the dose, or switch to another med. Imuran is good for stopping your body thinking of the humira as foreign, and then making...
Trough level should be greater than 5 (micrograms/ml) ..... greater than 0.6 means there is some humira in your system. Anti adalimumab antibodies should be less than 10 nanograms/ml (some say less...
It seems very unlikely that it was related to the use of the biologic. Imuran (azathioprine) is much more associated with possible skin cancer. I don't think you should even consider stopping your...
It sounds like a bowel obstruction... hopefully it has settled. When the bowel gets blocked, you feel wave like pain, since the normal peristalsis continues even though things can't move. It is...
Well done. Maybe weekly humira will do the trick....
Really interesting. I wonder if it will give sustained relief... 👍...
It's perfectly fine. Natural cocoa is bitter. Manufacturers make it less bitter in a process that's been around hundreds of years. It has no effect on health but does reduce flavonois a little. This...
You could try skipping one dose a week... or just go down to 9mg but only every third day. It seems you need to go slower....
You're a long way from needing any surgery! Try some meds and see how you go....
Crohns patients are tough as nails. We don't complain unless it's serious! It sounds like you really need some help. Must be very painful. Better to go in I think....
Can you get to a hospital? It might be an abscess, or even a fistula. It may need draining. Hopefully it is nothing too sinister. Take care....
Just send cash....
Sounds like your bowel is recovering and you don't need all those shots. High b12 is mostly from over supplementation...
