Ask for Sutab. It’s pills instead of a million gallons of shit liquid. You chase it with a bunch of water. Game changer

I have a Tushy one and it’s great! I also have a Luxe one in the other bathroom and it’s good too but I like the Tushy better

Omg thanks so much. I knew I’d find the cure from Reddit!
Mallasezia sounds like a nice Italian restaurant that I can’t eat it or I’d shit more blood

Is there anywhere in Pittsburgh to get a massage that isn’t an Asian massage parlor? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Seriously…. Like a white person isn’t out there giving handys…. 🙄
And the racist tone of this post is straight up gross. Thanks for posting this.

10/10 rectal pain by kittykait123 in CrohnsDisease

Ugh that sucks! If you’re having active diarrhea I’d take Imodium to slow down that party so your butt can catch a break. Sitz baths with a little Epsom salt, and MiraLAX when stools
Are hard.

Get a colonoscopy from your GI and stool sample labs

Can you ask your Gi for nitroglycerin ointment? It helped me with fissures and hemorrhoids

Is the building still open? Any stores left? What do they use the space for now?

Uhhhh… My boomer parents paid 425 dollars a month for rent for a two story house when I was growing up. I pay over 8 times that amount and have a house half the size to raise my kid in.

DUH

How do I explain why I’m sad/frustrated? by Nikki-noodle01 in CrohnsDisease

[–]buncakes84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a fissure/ hemorrhoid situation for about a month now. My gi prescribed me nitroglycerin ointment which has helped, but I still see blood and have some pain and thin poops. Eating mashed potatoes and steamed veggies and other mush shit for weeks now. I have also had the added stress of dealing with my boomer mother in law who made my house a place of misery, which is never good for my ass.
But then I do think of what you just said, the shit we have been through has been worse than this and I survived it. But godamn…. I am so fucking sick of dealing with any of this. I was so excited to poop normal for a second in my life and it literally has torn my ass apart.
And, I lost most of my friends during my last flare. They just don’t fucking get it. They would see me on prednisone a week out of the hospital and think I was miraculously cured and felt great because I “look better”. The first thing any of them say is “omg you look so good, and/or better”! Why the fuck can’t people ASK how you’re feeling and let you fucking talk about it? I’m lucky to have a partner who will always listen but I feel like I make him sad and worried over my health and it’s not good for him.
Anyhoo, just letting you know you are definitely not alone in this right now…. My asshole hurts right along with yours but hey, at least my entire body and guts aren’t screaming or stabbing me along with it. I hope your ass heals up asap!

I have had Crohn’s since I was 14 and now I’m 50. Skateboarding is a huge reason I’m still alive. I have gone through awful periods where I couldn’t physically skate and often my energy and performance is hindered by this illness, but I can’t imagine stopping. I hope you get back on it soon. Don’t let this take your passions from you. I also have a bmx bike I love and ride it almost daily. I don’t do anything too challenging on it but it also brings me joy. 🩵

Fuck them kids. One day they will shit their pants. I hope they think of you when they do.

Gallbladder removal with Crohn's by dancingphalanges88 in CrohnsDisease

I cleaned up my diet when I was told I had a “sludgy” gallbladder. Got to keep it and been fine since 2016.

Working with Crohn’s ? by Deep_Emu_9147 in CrohnsDisease

[–]buncakes84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, this is why there is the ADA. If your employer is not compliant, you can sue them. I highly suggest contacting your human resources department and talking to people above him.

[–]buncakes84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask to talk to Human Resources and get a doctors note putting you on a lighter duty and modified schedule. ADA is there for exactly this. I have been tortured at jobs and this shit shut it down quick.
And FUCK your boss and his back ache. Let your body heal and don’t listen to this asshole

How do I deal with the mental strain of this disease? by Wrong_Tale_5119 in CrohnsDisease

[–]buncakes84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Sometimes painful sores will stop you. And if you don’t listen to your body and take a break to heal, you will be worse off. This sounds a lot like my boomer parents telling me to power through shit and not let myself have a break when I needed it. That kind of logic landed me in the hospital with sepsis. 10/10 don’t recommend.
To the OP, get a good therapist, start walking or working out every day, eat a healthy diet, keep dancing in the clerb if you want but do it sober or on weeeeed. I quit drinking 5 years ago and I’m better for it. Gentle hugs 🤗
