Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I've had stomach problems all my life. Started to really complain about them in college. Finally was diagnosed when I was almost 24. It's no fun having Crohn's Diease but at least I somewhat know what's going on now.
Treatments
- Asacol Somewhat Helpful
- Not really sure how much the Pentase helps...seems to be just more about diet than anything.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- It's all about diet, but you'll still have bad days but hopefully less.
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- It helps me when I'm really down but no long term help.
- Probiotics Considering
- I just take it here and there and it seems to help some.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have to watch my weight since I have Crohn's Diesease. I can lose weight really fast and get extremely unhealth quick. I'm not fat or anything but couldn't lose a few pounds? So it's always a good idea to watch what you eat.
Treatments
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- I try to eat 2,500 calories or less a day and make sure they're good calories...like avoding mc donalds!
Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have Crohn's Disease. I've been diagnosed for about 3 years now. All you can do is take it a day at a time...
Treatments
- Aloe Vera Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to work as good as Pentasa
- Asacol Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to help some but it's really all about diet.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- your diet is key. learn what u can and cant eat and try your best to stick to it.
- Probiotics Somewhat Helpful
- seems to help some but i havent used it for very long and only here and there.
Open Healthy Eating
I have Crohn's Diease. I have to watch what I eat and how hard I push myself at the gym. You have your good days and your bad days, but you can't let it keep you down. It's all your choice. Trust me, I was at the ER all yesterday, and I still can't wait til I feel better so I can get back in the gym and coninue to eat right.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- the more calories you burn the more weight you'll lose and better shape you'll get in or at least you can eat more! lol
