Lol @ JANICE - the TV ad is from Centocor, a pharmaceutical company that develops medications for Crohn’s disease. We’re not affiliated with them at all.

Hey Kevin, hopefully you’ll make it back to the site to check - for anyone else concerned about having crohn’s and living by yourself, don’t be. I prefer to have my privacy and have never needed to have anyone else around unless I was really sick, which doesn’t happen often enough that I need constant care. It’s not something you should be concerned about, as long as you are otherwise healthy and can get around okay (walking, stairs, heavy lifting, etc.)

I was diagnosed at 18 and am now 46. I have had many, many surgeries and colostomy and reversal….etc…I have a 9 year old son. An unremarkable pregnancy. I have been in a remission from crohn’s since 1995. With only 3 hospitalizations for obstructions sice that time and I haven’ t been on any medication ….only while in the hospital or for a month after to calm things down. I have had no pain since 1995 except on those 3 rare occurances. I am gaining in knowledge everyday. I have been most recently taking vitamin D with a calcuim supplement. And am for the first time in my life experiencing regular stools with only occassional diarrhea. Every person who has Crohn’s needs to have their vitamin D checked and look at the new research. Science Daily.com explains the link of vitamin D to Crohn’s disease……we need to all be aware of this. I am also a Registered Nurse and have tried many different things but nothing has helped me more than Vitamin D………It may prevent Chrohn’s disease and at the very least help fight the inflammation, etc……….Try it!!!! Talk to your Doctors……Test your vitamin D level!!!
Who wants to live with Crohn’s disease or just fight the symptoms…..I’d rather prevent it in the first place……..VERY VERY Promising NEWS!!

Joyce, I recommend you re-read the post above and then look into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Salads and potatoes are the wrong things to be eating! Leafy greens have tons of fiber which is hard on the gut, and potatoes are full of starch, which is difficult to break down. You need to start on simpler foods that are easier for your body to process, and cook your vegetables at first before you move to raw leaves. Check into the SCD first and go from there.

I have been just diagnosed with crohn’s about two weeks ago. The first time I have ever been to the hospital and I didn’t know what was wrong, I had intense pain and vomiting from that pain. it only took 4 hours to get into the ER cause I was there a week before. I got the IV bag and morpine, then after the x-ray and ct scan they started me on prednisone. I was bombared with test and this nasty stuff called colyte, that stuff makes me sick even thinking about it.
I was there for 6 days, that was the most boring and foggy 6 days in my life.
But all of that time I’m glad they finally figured something out, that I can somewhat control and manage and have a normal life..
