I've had Crohns for 26 years now. After 3 surgeries, I have 6ft of small intestines. I am borderline shortgut, but I don't have to be fed via TPN. However, I have the crohnic diarrhea that someone with SBS has. I go to the bathroom minimum of 10 times a day, on a goin day. On a bad day, almost 30. This has caused hemmorhoids and anal fissures. I have tried Immodium, Carafate, cholestrum, lomotil. I must spend over $100 a month on Tucks,preparation h, and lidocaine. I'm at the point of asking for an ostomy so I am not tied to a toilet all day. I am married and have 2 kid sand this is killling my life!! And don't even think about asking for pain meds, you get"that look" from the docs. Anyone have the same problems??
