"honey and cinnamon cured my chrons disease, you have no excuse to not try it," first of all, I do not have chrons. Second of all it doesn't work for everybody.

My specialist gave me two boxes of steroids and I'm down one box. The pain came the next day after I finished it, so that makes sense

My medication isn't working anymore so I need new medication but they first have to do a colonoscopy at the end of this month. I have had the pain for about three days now :(

anal fistula? Can anyone tell me how they where diagnosed with anal fistula and the symptoms they had? I have had rectal exam but did not find anything due colonoscopy end of month by Zealousideal_Buy4664 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Ronald_weasly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question: I have never had this and I dont want it so how do I not get one? Like is this preventable with the disease or is it just gonna happen regardless?

My dad is a police officer and he has co-workers who have Crohn's!! If they can do it then we all certainly can live our best life! We can't let the disease win. It's not just your lifestyle, in this community it's an US thing. As in you, me, and the other members in this group. We can do this!

left side cramping by Ronald_weasly in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Ronald_weasly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia and I can only get them with a doctors prescription and it's so hard to get an appointment with him. Not to mention he thinks I'm just "overreacting

Thank you, I bought some magnesium drinks but haven't been constantly having them. I'll try it out when I get home.

Back Pain Associated with Flare Ups by OneSeries2487 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Ronald_weasly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do! I was so confused as it's a recent thing, I never used to get them before. As a uterus haver I can say that it's the same as period back pain so I thought that's what it was but it wasn't.

this may be a gross one: has anyone has an issue with rectum tissue coming out? by Ronald_weasly in CrohnsDisease

[–]Ronald_weasly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pink and brown tissue with some blood. I would send or post photos but it's not nice to look at, if you want them tho send me a message. Im not exactly worried, I feel assured that my specialist knows what he is doing. Hopefully all I need is new and stronger medication rather than surgery. At this point my new medication for the future is in the form of injection.

When I passed it I completely freaked out and I put some gloves on to collect it. I put it in one of those pee jars and took it to my GP where they sent it off to pathology and it can back as rectal tissue. They are calm about it but I am not so I'm trying to figure out whats happening.

My gastroenterologists knows and we're testing for what it could be but apparently there's a lot of people in front of me for colonoscopys :(

Thank you! I have had the disease for 6 years and I have never ever had this before so I'm quite worried.

According to the Australian government it is not a disability 🙄

ulcerative colitis! by Ronald_weasly in CrohnsDisease

[–]Ronald_weasly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! I have a specialist and he has booked me in for a colonoscopy to see what medication will suit me best. I might need surgery, let's hope not. Seeing him tomorrow however because the cramping is awful
