About Me
28yo stay at home mom. Born and raised in Maryland. How I miss it! Have 1 daughter that is 2 1/2. Married 4 years. We have been wanting to have another child, but I am currently having a flare and my GI says I won't get pregnant until under control.

Interests
I love to be outside in the garden. I find it is a great stress reliever for me. I also am interested in photography, knitting, love to cook and bake--just hoping I can continue to eat it all! I was baking and selling things at the farmer's market. This year I haven't started doing the markets as I think I need to concentrate on getting back into remission first!

Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I was diagnosed with Crohns in 2004 while planning my wedding! Was able to get it under control with Entocort EC for 6 months and then just remain on 4000mg Pentasa. I took myself off meds while pregnant and didn't go back on them. Since then I have become more aware of the dangerous side effects of Pharmacuetical drugs and how taxing they can be on your body. I am currently in persuit of a totally natural approach to obtaining disease remission. I will keep you posted!
Treatments
- Asacol Working / Worked
- Pentasa--didn't notice any side effects. Currently not taking any meds--much to the dismay of my GI
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Try to control what I eat. Somewhat hard to do at times!
- Entocort Working / Worked
- No side effects noticed. Yes it worked. I was on it for 6months and got to come off, maintaining remission with only Pentasa. I am not planning to take it again, as it wreaks havoc on your body!
- Flagyl Working / Worked
- Used this when I was first diagnosed with Crohn's as I also had C-Diff at the time. This stuff has a terrible bitter after taste that would make me gag everytime I would have to take it.
- Probiotics Working / Worked
- Was taking Primal Defense by Garden of Life but I recently have developed some concerns over HSO's. I just ordered Natren probiotics and will be using these from here on out.
Close Other Eye Problems
Type: Strabismus (wandering eye)We notices my daughter's eye turning outward around the time she was 18 months. We were sent to Hershey Med Center and found out she has Strabismus. 3 visits later and the Drs. are saying she needs surgery. She just turned 3 years old.
