I'm not sure if this is part of the healing process or my disease is already comming out of remmission (surgery two months ago) I had gotten to a point where my incision sites still hurt, but my gut really didn't- and was doing pretty well with diet- now, I've had several days of running to the john, and for about 10 days I've got that old familiar nagging, colicky pain in my lower right quad (I have CD) .... Have I gotten too bold with my diet-or should I call my GI? We went fairly conservative after surgery, and I'm only on Pentasa..... not sure what to expect 2 months out...

I really don't know that much about the CD I have UC(the opposite) but my advise would be to at least contact your doctor's office and talk with his nurse assistance or him personally if possible. If you are havin the same symptoms as prior to the surgery your doctor should be notified.

Good luck, please let us know how things are going, we really do care and are here to encourage and support you through all these stressful times.

God Bless. Marie

Thanks Marie, I guess the hesitancy in calling him is perhaps the fear of being told that my CD is back.. denial- such a comfortable place to rest.
