Are you a puker? How often do you vomit as a result of your crohn's? Does anything elicit the vomiting?
I'm exactly the same, never had a real problem with my crohn's till jan 2009 since then major flare it started to get worrying when i'd feel better for being sick so if the feeling came to be sick I wouldn't fight it... argh sucks lolMINI Cooper said:I am a BIG puker.
If not on any drugs, I will puke myself to starvation:
ugh!!!i know!!! and you can feel the gland in your jaws burning right??Nytefyre said:I am not a puker either. However, when my mouth becomes overloaded with saliva I know it's time to head for the can!
Thank you! I will definitely have to try the baking soda trick. I have had to have caps put on my teeth, as my front teeth are see-through now because of all the throwing up I have done over the years. I go through intense pain and saliva build-up before puking, and there really isn't anything I can do to stop it once the cycle has begun.Justicexhaze said:I didnt read all the posts but this advice I can give you. I have gotten sick alot. One of the first things I would want to do is get that taste out of my mouth so I would brush my teath..... big no no. The acid from your stomach with the abrasiveness of the tooth paste and toothbrush will slowly eat away at your teeth. I found that out a little late (last year 2009). If you think you will be or have been sick in the past get baking soda and mix it with water to rinse your mouth. It neutralizes the acid and will help save your teeth. It may seem a little silly but 30 years of doing the wrong thing will take its toll on your smile.
