Tagged As: Crohns Symptom
Question:
The C, coupled with small bm's, seems to be the worst symptom. It makes me sluggish , foggy, and just plain sick. Fatigue is also a big symptom for me. I cannot relate it to any specific foods, although high fat/junk food seems to make matters worse over time. It looks like I will be put on a trial of pentasa, which would be the first Crohn's drug to try (I've tried just about ALL the IBS drugs). I guess my question is this: does anyone have Crohn's with these predominant symptoms and also might pentasa be helpful here??
Answer:
I've had CD for 18 years. Your symptoms sound like mine. I also have narrow stools and have had abdominal pain during flares, though generally to the right of my belly button (terminal ileum). But CD can occur anywhere. I avoid high-fat foods, especially fast food. I've also found that the best fiber supplement for me is Perdiem. Easy to take and it works.
