Wow. I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I don't know anything about Chrohn's, but if there's anything you want to talk about let me know.

So sorry all this is happening, I'm not sure I can really help but wanted to say I will send good thoughts your way! Try posting on the crohns board, they should be able to help. Hang in there. HUGS TO YOU!

I'm glad they found a diagnosis! It's not a good one, but at least there's no more anxiety over it. I'm so sorry that you haven't been feeling well! My grandpa has Crohn's and he had a special surgery done for his intestines, and now he can eat whateevr he wants as long as he takes his pills daily. He has to grind up his pills and stirs them with applesauce in the morning before breakfast and again at lunch. Maybe you should look into that? If we go out for lunch, he takes his applesauce and medicine into the bathroom and eats it. I don't know anything about the surgery as far as that (It was a few years ago-I was maybe 9 or 10?), so I agree with Michele that you should post on the Crohn's board. Hope this helps!
