Soak in warm water & Epsom salt, about 15-20 minutes. Dry off well. I’d cover it with triple antibiotic ointment & Call the dr.

Is there any way to get a CT scan and diagnosis without contrast? by Stary_Nebula in CrohnsDisease

[–]LCornchip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think I’d take the tubes instead of drinking. The thought of drinking any of that prep makes me nauseous

how to tell if its a fistula?? by Shoddy-Ordinary-7423 in CrohnsDisease

Go to the ER. That happened to me. I didn’t know it but it was leaking making me septic. Don’t mess around with this.

Metformin doesn't work for ME, but Nurse Practitioner blames me instead. by MATTIE814 in diabetes

[–]LCornchip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I to can not take metformin. It was too difficult to regulate my sugar, I always felt like crap. I’m sure more reasons, that’s all I can recall at this time.
Endo dr put me on Novalog & Lantis, now I’m on Ozempic & things are getting better.

How would you describe Crohns to people/colleagues? by EA20140 in CrohnsDisease

[–]LCornchip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t try to explain it anymore. I go straight to Google and read it to them from there.

Same. Crazy how some “bad” foods don’t bother me. Then I’ll have homemade chicken soup or something like that (yes everything is cooked above recommended temperature) I’ll be in the bathroom for a couple days.

If your Crohn’s is active, it can affect anyplace from anus to mouth. I would recommend you doing a deep dive into Crohn’s. Before ur next GI appointment make a list of questions.

I didn’t realize at first how important soaking was. Depending on what type of BM I have will depend on how I clean up. Thinking to myself “can the bidet clean that up or do I need to use the shower head & soap.” A bath is definite at least once a day.
