Welcome to the Crohns Colitis Support Group.
This support group will help you connect with others that may have Crohns in the same location and many similar symptoms.
Crohns Colitis can affect any part of the colon.
Although each person with Crohns Colitis may have different symptoms, some of the symptoms may be more specific to this location and we may be able to help each other out with treatments that have worked.
Symptoms you may be experiencing (some only during a flare):
Abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, below belly button and rectum
lower left area pain
Diarrhea or unable to have a bm for several days
Excessive Gas
Bloating
Rectal bleeding.
Obvious blood and mucous in the stools
Rectal fistulas, abscesses
Anemia, often extreme ongoing anemia
Fatigue
Rash
Scleritis
Treatments: Treatment for Crohns colitis will be similar to other Crohns treatments. Each person/parent will decide on the best treatment possible to stop the inflammation:
6-MP Prednisone, Entocort, Flagyl, Remicade, Prednisone, Asacol, iron infusions, .......
Common Supplements: Multivitamin with iron, Vitamin D (1000iu), Calcium (1200mg), Omega 3 Fish Oil, Probiotics (Acidophillus), Milk Kefir,
Extra treatments: Cortifoam, Steroid creams or steroid enemas. These treatments are done at home. They are extremely effective and can help heal the anal, rectal and sigmoid areas of inflammation, bleeding and pain.
It is recommended to see an Opthamologist every two years.
Please add any comments or questions you may have in helping others or finding treatment and support for yourself.
