I have been taking remicade for over four years now, and it is amazing. I'm not completely asymptomatic, but most of the time I can now pretend that I am. (And, as an earlier poster pointed out, my remaining symptoms may be the result of earlier damage and surgeries.) After my last colonoscopy, the doctor said that there was no visible sign of new inflammation. -Bryan Eastin
Hi, I'm Joe from Malaysia. I am looking for PredFoam enema for my Mum. She had a Ulcerative Colitis for about 8 years now. She also had a Colostomy for 2 years now. Now she is thinking of doing the reversal operation which she found really depressed of using the bag. After doing the Colonoscopy, with the Gaestroentrologist, we found that the colon still inflame and this need to be settle the before the reversal operation. He prescribe my mum the Enema and for the best result he asked me to find the Predfoam enemas. however, there is no supply of this type of Enema in my country. Can anyone tell me where I can get supply of Predfoam enema? I am willing to pay although I need to get the supply from overseas. Please e-mail me at Johanis78@gmail.com. I really appreciate your help.
Hi scott; I have suffered crohns for the past 15 years although only diagnosed 5 years ago. I had colectomy 4 years ago and have been on all types of medication. Recently had colonoscopy and was very dissapointed to learn that crohns was back full force in the site of surgery.Was prescribed entecort and asacolon.i made the decision that i wasnt going on any more steroids as i end up worse after i come off them. I am sick of taking drugs and not getting better so i did a bit of research for a naturel remedy and found out about sedacrohn. i have been on it a week and for the first time in years i have no diareah (sorry i still cant spell it) and i feel great. its fantastic and i know i have only been on it a very short time but i have never been free of that embarressing symptom even after the surgery and to be free of it now makes sedacrohn worth every penny. i would give it a try if i were you. i would not be waiting for scientific evidence to back it up cause if you do you could be waiting years. i am delighted with the results. As regards to diet i eat what i want when i want as i found diet didnt make any difference. the only thing i have cut out is milk as i have heard that there is a bacteria in it that could be the cause of crohns. i know it is a bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted but it like a comfort thing with me , i feel like i am doing something, best of luck martina
"Don't forget Dipentum!!! This is the forgotten drug. It releases like sulfasalazine (2 molecules bound together and broken apart by the same intestinal bacteria), but no sulfa. It's 30 years old, and still not available in generic and almost never prescribed. Apparently, it has a tendency to cause diarrhea. It did not do that for me. Thanks, Mike"
You are right Mike there hasn't been much information on Dipentum, well I tried to look for some and here's what I got...
Olsalazine is an anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. It is sold under the name Dipentum.
The chemical name is 3,3' -azobis (6-hydroxybenzoate)salicylic acid. It is sold as the disodium salt.
Like Balsalazide, Olsalazine is believed to deliver Mesalazine, or 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), past the small intestine, directly to the large intestine, which is that active site of disease in ulcerative colitis.
The common side effects of Dipentum that may go away during treatment, include abdominal pain, cramps, or nausea. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. If diarrhea, rash, or itching is experienced contact your doctor .
Yes I have had a P cyst and boy can they be a pain in the butt! The best thing to do if the sinus is not inflammed yet is to keep the area clean and dry. However if it is inflammed then the best thing to do is get it removed or it will cause you alot of problems in the future. Here's the thing though...it is not a big deal! You could live with it, it is NOT cancer, and ALOT of people have them (just dont talk about it because of the area). Ask a trusted dermatologist what general surgeon you should go see, then make an appointment and they will let you know what stage you are in and your options. Don't stress! I just had mine removed and I was back at work within a week with just a little bit of soreness. I never took a pain pill. The best thing to do is search the internet and get educated on this condition. Good luck!
I myself was on immuran for CD. Actually got me even more sick. Funny the day i stopped taking it I was 100% fine. Often stopping the medication can work, but as usual speak to your doctor, but it is definately a thing to consider. But note: Often you can see if it is the Chrons or something else by blood test.
Hi all, I've been on 2-3 Entecort per day for almost 10 months. I have found it to be amazing! I've been on Pred many times and always gained lots of weight. Plus it made me moody and angry all the time. I've had Crohn's for 28 yrs, and I've never been on anything like Entecort. All the benefits of feeling good and no weight gain, moon face, or loss of sex drive. Not your typical steroid! So far, I haven't noticed any real bad side effects except a few more headaches. So, I'd recommend giving it a try...it's been a god-send for me. Good luck. Tracy in Michigan
I am about to have an Ileocecal resection on Friday 4th November (today is the 31st october) have Crohns Disease for 2 and a half years. At 19 years old I am quite worried. I just hope the pain goes, it depresses me so much. I'd like to know about anyone's experience after the op. My biggest worry is going the toilet after the op, I've not had solid stool for 2 and half years, I imagine it will hurt!!!!!
Simple treatments include garlic, you can buy a pound or two for a few dollars, and a high fiber cereal, one of the best on the market, Kellogs Bran Buds, with psyllium.... (you might try ginger tea as well...) You are correct, it appears that 'money' is driving the research and the treatments... Problem is the treatment can be quite simple, too simple in fact, that you can't believe that such a simple cause and effect would be possible... Oh by the way...I am a researcher having spent many years researching "half-truth paradigms" resulting in the correction to the world definition of 'truth', 'half-turth' and 'lie'...coming to a dictionary near you soon....
