  1. @APBBlue Mine had me do the split prep last time and I haaaaated it. Was miserable all night and got no sleep. This time I asked to go back to the previous prep and it's a lot easier, thank gods.

    (Also, solidarity fist bump from a fellow #Crohns peep)

  2. Why is it taking me days to recover from an MRI scan of all things? I don’t remember having this problem in the past. 😑 #crohns #ibd

  3. @ScienceScholar
    Docs have lots of problems diagnosing #crohns even after symptoms have appeared. Maybe this will help them, too.

    Years ago when I started my web page for #crohns & #Ulcerativecolitis, back in the Stone Age when you had to write your own html, I’d get 2-3 emails a day touting cures, often offering me a ground floor marketing opportunity. The most entertaining was a home kit for a blood filtering process similar to hemodialysis from some Russian guy. Drinking aloe vera was another popular one.

  5. I normally don't feed the trolls, but this one was too good to pass up #ostomy #crohns

  6. Salt pills > electrolyte drinks

    No I will not debate. 😂

  7. Scientists at our university and LMU University Hospital Munich combine dietary therapy with fecal microbiome transfer to improve long-term treatment for #Crohns disease. By reshaping the #gutmicrobiome, they aim to sustain remission and reduce #inflammation: go.tum.de/395259

  8. CW: Chronic illness discussion hospitals Crohn’s and poop chat

    I must be doing a bit better this morning as I was allowed to get up to the toilet, and I’m attempting to decipher France Inter 7/10 sur la radio. Coffee and yogurt so hopefully a none too painful 💩 to come, which I am dreading in case of any straining needed. Typically my Crohn’s has been so well behaved that I have a wee bit of difficulty once a day at the moment.

  9. "The big hope is to find active ingredients that would restore the functionality of disrupted mitochondria, in other words, to repair them in a sense. This would limit intestinal damage as a trigger for chronic inflammation processes," said Dr Dirk Haller.

  10. Well, I got a 9/9 on the Boston score for bowel prep, so I did it in well much as it was massively annoying and tiring.

    Better still, my Crohn’s is in clinical remission also, which is even better - more the result of restarting #lowdosenaltrexone than the steroids I’d wager, as it was not great after the latter. Either way good news.

    Only concern is I have another check of my pancreas in 6 months due to a cyst that needs monitored.

  11. As a veteran of colonoscopies, I’ve actually lost count, tomorrow’s is my 7th I think, this has to be the worst prep regime I’ve had yet. Usual drink of a litre of vile stuff 18:00-19:00 but the second lot is at 05:00-06:00 before the procedure at 08:30 - and I have to be in a taxi 06:15 to get there for 07:00. Not going to happen that. Will be later than 07:00 but last time there was a long time sitting about waiting anyway.

  12. @emsquared absolutely. Reminds me I need to book a taxi for a week today for a hospital trip - colonoscopy fun. #crohns At least this time it’s paid for by the health service.

  13. Prep mostly done. So it's stage 1 of checking out how to deal with ongoing (37 years) Crohn's and diverticulitis disease tomorrow. First up is a colonoscopy, which always fascinates the scientist in me if nothing else. #Crohns #Colitis #medicine

  14. CW: Advice needed for day after colonoscopy please help

    So, I questioned the nurse after the procedure if I had dietary restrictions and she said none. So, the day after the colonoscopy I ate sauerkraut (to repopulate my gut biome) raw carrots, I ate green beans towards the evening, salmon for dinner.

    Peanut butter on a rice cake for a bedtime snack.

    At about 6:30 in this morning I wake my excruciating stomach pain. Have to vomit. Can't vomit. Dry heaves. Abdominal pain

    At 12 noon the diarrhea starts in. It's about 2:47 pm and I'm still going at it.

    I read online documents on post colonoscopy care and found that a restricted diet is RECOMMENDED during the first WEEK after the colonoscopy

    I know this is graphic, but I'm pooping out nonstop carrots. Carrots. Carrots. Carrots 😭

    I can't hold down any liquid whatsoever. My inclination is to halt all drinking for several hours until the diarrhea stops.

    The doctor office is closed so I can't ask them for advice.

    Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you so much

  15. CW: talk about body size and past body image things

    I wish we had sliders irl like in vr, sometimes I want to be super small and wish I was tiny so I could be held, im also trying to be more okay with my size though. its tough sometimes having body dysmorphia and having folks talk about weight and body stuff around me. prednisone and crohns have made my weight fluctuate so much, I just want to feel like me again #crohns #disabled

  17. Still feel like shit coming off steroids. 3 more days of 30mg, then 20, 15 and 5 for a week each. Don’t have much faith in previously shite version of ‘normal’ being resumed after that tbh. Thoroughly scunnered wi it. Feeling jittery and shaky, tired no matter how much I nap in the day due to hourly peeing overnight. #crohns #autoimmune #ckd #kidneydisease #chronicillness #fatigue

  18. Only took 3 appeals and getting the office of the DC healthcare ombudsman involved to finally get approved by my PBM. I now have $14k worth of meds sitting in my fridge… #crohns
