So since my hospital stay in early February, I have not gotten better yet. The same problems abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, weak, and the list goes on. I’m scared to eat real food because it causes painful cramps and diarrhea the next day. I only eat jello. I’ve had this happen before a few times, but it’s constant now. I try to eat and my upper abdomen starts feeling full and tight. My back and ribs will hurt. And if I do have to eat hours later because I need to for my medicine, it still feels like there’s still so much food in my stomach. I’m not sure what would help. Anyone have the same ..read more

Been given the option to start one of these medications - Does anyone have any experience of being on either of these? I’ve got leaflets on both but just wanted some feedback from people who have used either? I haven’t used biologic before - currently on Mesalazine and Azathioprine but they’re not working.

I have been on budesonide (1 a day) since September , I kind of sucked at taking them until this January I’ve been steady and I’ve taken them like I’m supposed too.

I’m waiting on an appointment with a new GI but am not able to see her until Augu ..read more

A family member is switching meds and will have a couple of doses of Simponi left.over. Anyone know of any organizations that take donated meds? It's so expensive I'd hate for them to go to waste. submitted by /u/censorized [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Has anyone tried FODMAP Diet? My specialist recommended it to me, but I’m sceptical about it…I paid for the app, so I get some guidance. It’s very difficult for me to eat anything and there is currently no dietitian to help me, I keep losing weight due to diarrhoea, feels like I’m on my own, I get no help… submitted by /u/Big_eyes29 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
