Gastroparesis????

Does anyone know anything about this disease. My granddaughter was diagnosed with it. The doctors were checking for Crohns but didn't find that but said her problems were from gastroparesis. Both her...

IBS vs. Mild Crohn's

It's best to know what is wrong. I had issues for 25+ years. Everytime I went to the doctor I was told it was IBS or lactose intolerence. My daughter was diagnosed 18 years ago at the age of 12. I...

Crohn's and Diabetes

Since I have steroid-induced diabetes I'm only on insulin when I'm on prednisone. I haven't had to take pred for 4 years. And the only time I was on insulin was when I first found out I was diabetic...

Hi, Sorry I didn't notice this post but I'm one that got diabetes from prednisone. It's called steriod-induced diabetes. Great. Was diagnosed with Crohn's in '07 and then developed diabetes within 3...

Crohn's Pain & Symptoms while on medication?

I found out I had Crohn's when I had blood and other stuff in my urine with a bladder infection. It was a fistula to my bladder. I might be wrong but it could very well be that. Please get that...

What's the deal with Salads?

Okay, now I understand. There is several reasons why certain foods can cause problems. Not only obstructions, but also the Big "D". I thought because I was in "remission" I shouldn't have the "Big D"...

Promethius test question

There are 2 prometheus tests. One to determine if you have IBD and the other to test if you can tolerate 6-MP. When I had a reaction to 6-MP my doctor ran both tests which did tell him that I did...

Overweight with Crohns

I too am one that seems to gain weight when I am at my sickest and not from steroids. My doctor told me it's because I'm not as active but I don't think so. I don't notice much difference in my...

Results of my GI visit from Monday 8/30/10

It sounds like to me that he is not treating the disease but the symptoms. If you are having bleeding you are slowly doing damage to your guts. My opinion is the best course would be trying to keep...

What's the deal with Salads?

Why can't Crohnies eat salads? I always thought it was because of possible blockages. I've been on remicade for 3 months now and everything is normal (if you know what I mean) except when I eat a...

50% with CD may also have IBS

I think you can have both but I don't think a doctor can determine if it's IBS or Crohn's just because you are supposedly in remission. My doctor does that thinking that it can't be Crohn's because...
