Treatments
- Asacol Working / Worked
- Mesalazine and Rowasa enemas.... very embarrasing. NOT painful at all... directions are once before bedtime (HOLD AS LONG AS POSSIBLE--> UNTIL MORNING...) which only turns out to be like 30 minutes... 1 hour if I'm lucky.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Lettuce, salads, and all other vegetables that I normally would eat. Grapes (skins), carrots, nuts... as I do not process these very well...
- Azathioprine Working / Worked
- Dr. wants to start me on this drug very very soon... pending blood work to see if my body produces the enzyme needed to USE this drug.
- Azulfidine Working / Worked
- Dr. prescribed this BEFORE I had my L. intestine removed in 2000. I don't remember seeing or feeling any improvements....
- Dietary Modification Working / Worked
- LESS 'flavored' foods, and more bland foods. LESS FIBER!! Horrible feeling with FIBER. More breads.
- Entocort Somewhat Helpful
- Switched health care plans in around 2004-05. New Dr. prescribed this to me, I notices a slight difference in 'symptoms'.... but not anything significant worth writing more about - - then again, I didn't take it more than 3 months.
- Flagyl Working / Worked
- I don't notice much of a difference, except in LESS GAS (pain, pressure, bloating, and gas pain)... and a bad bitter taste left in your mouth if you take more than a second to swallow that bill. 500mg, 4 x daily as needed
- Lomotil Working / Worked
- Helps control the frequency of running to the restroom
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Helps with inflammation in the bowel, therefore causing less trips to the restroom
- Probiotics Working / Worked
- Yogurt with Cultures, accidophilus, etc, etc.... tried them all... GARDEN OF LIFE Primal Defense, etc... ANYTHING 'GARDEN OF LIFE' (GOOGLE it!)
- Remicade Working / Worked
- REMICADE was by far the best treatment for my Crohn's
- Surgery Working / Worked
- L. inestine removed in 2000, reversal surgery later that year. 'pouch procedure' done, with occasional 'flare-ups' from Crohn's
