My story, I first was diagnosis-ed couple of weeks ago with Crohn's. I:stinks: It started years ago, but last year I got H-pylori and then a scoping because of all the issues with constipation and diarrhea. The H-pylori was cleared with two more test to make sure. I was placed on probiontic's and nothing got any better. The pain was the final straw. I went to get another opinion from another gastro doctor. This time it was called Crohn's. I am taking 4000mg of Pentasa. It has helped with the bloating, for without it, I would bloat like I was 7 months pregnant. The pain has not been relieved with the med's. I do exercises for my back and hips, which helps for a very short while. I can not sleep through the night because of the pain. The pills also, have stopped the diarrhea, and gas which was just awful, and embarrassing. What to do about the pain? It is almost unbearable to sit and write this story. Watching the foods I eat, and the amount. I did gain, 25 pounds this year. Still in a size 10, but that a lot of weight to gain, without ever changing my diet. Any advise would be appreciated.
