Oh Sara , I’m so sorry to hear this, you’ve been through so much this year. I think you’ll find a way to hike again, perhaps you’ll be more of a cross trainer, adding some biking and swimming to the...
I think it’s very possible it could be hemorrhoids. Sorry you have to wait to see you GI....
I have vomited, but it’s vomiting associated with pain from IBD....
Thank you for sharing this and keeping us updated. I’m terribly confused at the moment so not much help. But I read this in my new book (crohns and colitis for dummies): “...Also, the latest research...

Thank you Susie and Heather. I’ll put my email in...
Sassyback. I tried to send you a private message today but either I don’t understand internet or this forum doesn’t do private messages:) I want to keep in touch. I’m busy doing my masters and am...
Have you tried rosemary though? (Sorry, couldn’t resist! Lol) I actually responded to someone’s (too frequent) inquiry about my diet the other day with, “yes! Diet helps a lot! Today I ate extra...
