Just a note to any nurses and doctors who work in emergency rooms. If a patient comes in with a complete intestine blockage from Crohns, please understand the pain is more intense than any kidney stone or child birth. The only way to reduce the pain is a high dosage of Morphine. Last emergency visit in 2008 was in the waiting room for 5 hours with no pain medicine. Worst experience of my life.

My 16 year old son just found out he has Crohns after going to emerg with a stoamch ache and then having to have majoe surgery. He has his surgery Dec 16 The Dr that did the operation told my son he could eat whatever he wanted......we are now at the end of Jan and her tells me he stomach has been hurting for weeks......not sure what to think but would love to know how people know when its Crohns and not something else.....what are your symptoms?????

@cjsnanny that's an old post. i've been on remicade for the better part of a year now. honestly i do not feel it's helped me. the first 4 months on it i just kept getting worse with chronic fatigue, pain, even blurry vision and weird itching that would lead to scabs all over my legs.

finally, i tried an elimination diet. giving up dairy, nuts and sugar had no effect but when i got to wheat it was like a switch flipped. 90% of my crohn's symptoms gone overnight. I am not celiac either.

@jwallbanger I have injections every 8 weeks. I started out every 6 weeks and there is nothing to it. It is an infusion and it takes about 2&1/2 hours. I feel so much better after.

I complained for years and years and just about dead they found out I had Crohns. I take alot of medication. I am 56 years old now and they found it about 10 years ago. I complained most of my life, my stomach hurt so bad. But thank God the Dr. in the ER that night thought about checking for Crohns.
