Aw Sue, sorry you are so poorly. When I've been really poorly like this, I've just eaten very bland foods...chicken, mashed potato, rice, rice krsipies, rice milk, white fish etc. Maybe replacing food with some nutrition drinks or an elemental diet might help a little till you get more settled again. Good for nutrition too.
Hope you feel better soon,
Gail

Sorry to hear that,

When i felt similar to that my Hemoglobin was very low, about 3.2 "very low" so i had to go into hospital and have a blood transfusion.

Hi ty gail and darren, for your advice,  had a really bad night last night up and down like a yoyo, its just has if ive had picolax and clean prep its just like having a pee from my bum and god the stoach pains, but hey, thats the joys of crohns, ill give it another day r so, and if no better im of to the drs.

Hope you are feeling better today Sue, it sounds like you have have a rough few days.  I had dia and stomach aches all day Monday and was feeling very sorry for myself but nothing compared to what you have had - poor thing.  Whether it was a bug or crohns I agree with Gail, when you feel like eating you will need low residue to give the bowel a rest but take on plenty of fluids (bet you know this already lol).  dont wait too long before going to docs, although getting there when your bums exploding isn't easy is it. Get well soon  x

Thats how mine was - just like Brown Water coming from my bum - and it smelt very potent.

yeah mine is very smelly as well darren, mine is also quite light in colour, but ive been told thats something to do with the bile and my gallbladder. cheers xxxsuexxx

Ty linney for your comment im taking everything on board cheers xxxsuexxx

Hi

My sympathy goes to you all.  I'm on my 3rd day of a particularly bad flare up and totally agree with all your comments - it is like peeing from your bum! and the smell is vile (v embarrassing as I have builders working at my house at the moment and the smell goes right through the house, despite using any air fresheners).  Sue, mine is fluroscent yellow in colour (I don't have a gall bladder though).  Luckily I'm not being sick. Let's hope we all recover quickly.

Love
Lou

I had a flare up that lasted 3 weeks, i lost half a stone because everything i ate came back up. Thankfully it has cleared up now. My thoughts go out to you all!!

Hi all i bit the bullet today a went to see the dr, has i cant take the pain anymore, shes put me back on prednisalone 5mg x 6 daily,  and also put my lansaprazole to 2 x30mg a day. so lets see if this works, Ty all for your tips and advice xxxsuexxx take care all

Omg im so tired, all ive done for a week is sleep, when i went dr yesterday i felt like a walking zombie, this is a horrible feeling, when i started with all these syptoms years ago people told me the first flare up is usually the worst, how wrong were they, this is worst than the bad one i had back in august last year and that was bad. ive had bad days since but nothing like this flare up. anybody heard of this before xxxsuexxx tc all

Hi Tatty,

SNAP !! I have had a rough week...same symptons..headache...cramps..sickness and lots of running to the loo !! I have only been back to work for 2 months since my opps and was determined not to have any time off. After 2 days of feeling rough and spending most of the night on the loo I had to take time off..feel really guilty. Feel exhausted and just want to sleep..this is my first attack since being diagnosed just hope they are not regular !

Hope you are feeling better.

David
