Just for further education, flares can also include but not limited to: joint pain, fatigue, sweating, chills and low grade fever. That's my experience, at least.

It feel like there’s no way out of this I have days where I don’t want to get out the bed. The pain is so bad just stay strong.

I had two this month. Put me out 3 to 4 days a week. I’m curious if anybody else has diarrhea or vomiting or they have pain in their heart? I think from the vomiting, the strain on my heart, the hospital thought that I had a small heart attack last time. How do you know where it comes from that is the scary thing? Do you think it is completely diet?

Thank you so much for this! This made me understand how things could be for me without making me feel scared.

Being a chrohn's sufferer myself, this is really helpful to be able to show others.

I can get an Ulcerative flareup if I use antibiotics, even topical ones, such as Neosporin. They destroy bacteria in my gut, and I get an overgrowth of bad bacteria, which causes a flareup. Unfortunately, my GIs will only prescribe meds that suppress my immune system and recommend colon surgery when the meds don't work. My GIs know nothing about balancing gut microbiome. They know nothing about diet, probiotics, FMT, ... I've had to learn all this on my own. If I had known earlier, then I never would have taken their meds. All I got from them was side effects, including interstitial nephritis and osteopenia.

@@KulmiyeMr I saw a functional doctor who gave me supplements, one of which killed the overgrowth of bad bacteria in my colon. One of the ingredients in the supplement is an herb that's used in Chinese medicine. In my case, my UC flare-ups are often caused by an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut. It makes sense that this supplement would put my flare into remission. However, I still recommend doing your own research before taking any medicines/supplements or undergoing any treatments. My current functional doctor can get a little overzealous.

I was diagnosed when I was fifteen after a year of pain and suffering. People are too scared to treat or diagnose children in the US and I almost died because of it. We need to fix our healthcare system or things are only going to get worse.

Same i got diagnosed with it when I was fifteen in February a week before my birthday where I've been having pain for 2 years :(

I am just getting over flare up. I’m 50 and just diagnosed in2022, this was 3rd and the worst. The pain was unimaginable, several times I was sure I was gonna pass out, hoping to. Ended up in ER and have missed 3 days of work. I can’t imagine dealing with knowing one of these could be right around corner. I’m currently petrified to move.😮

Went years without having a flare; was diagnosed at the age of 6 and went in remission around the age 10. Now I’m 22 and my UC has been back up and running for the past 2 months😪😪

We lost him, can someone please help me to understand does it happens this way

Too vague to be of any use. Basically, do what you'd do for any condition. Nicely presented though

I'm so sick with nausea vomiting and diarrhea I want to be dead. If I could have end of life I'd take it. I've not found any practical advice or help what to do. I had a 6 month flare it devastated me. I only had 6 weeks remission now I'm bed bound live alone and back in a flare.

Currently at the end of a nasty flare up. Its wiped me out xx

Medication would be great if you have a good GI doctor. Mine sucks. Never given me any meds but BENTYL. and we all know that works for a year and neevr works again.

My Crohns is really getting me down at the moment. Ive felt ill for a few weeks with zero energy. I have two young kids so it sometimes makes me irritable and I don't have the energy to play with them. I also find it hard that you're never sure if you feel ill whether its linked to a flare or not. Ive had headaches for weeks and no idea if its Crohns or something else as Crohns and the medications can obviously lead to so many different symptoms

This may help to cope: any two ply tp and any body lotion (not body wash), wipe and repeat until paper is clear. Cleans and soothes rectal tissue. Expensive wipes are history!

Hi I had the disease for over 15 years it was in control for at least 12 years until my doctor's messed up and failed to do the correct test when I had really bad gurgling in my stomach. I would get your Doctor to get you a dietitian and check for deficiency in things like iron, B12, calcium, and potassium etc. Make sure as well all your meds are timed for the same time each day or month week mine monthly now. Drink lots of water and sounds odd but I find Bananas are usually good to eat and helps a little bit. The only other thing I can advise is try and relax when you can and I know this is the difficult part of exercise when you can. I know none of this is a cure but it may help. Best of luck to you.

Every diet is totally different with completely opposite and apposing recommendations. Just stop eating, look at fasting info if you are not skinny , you are over weight , you must stop stuffing your fat gob. During a recent flare I had to travel by car on a couple of eight hour trips , I stopped eating after eight o'clock the night before and got by the next day on a total of 2 small thick shakes and 2 small maccas chips, all day felt more alert while driving and was not tired.
