Then buy some unscented baby wipes and pour a small bottle of witch hazel into the wipes.
This is an inexpensive way to treat the itchiness and pain.

Take your time on the toilet. Bring a book or the newspaper.Relax.
If things are not any better, see your doctor.

Eating more fiber and not straining while on the toilet will reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids. These are just two suggestions. Walking is excellent for keeping regular.

Foods high in fiber are vegetables, whole grains, whole wheat bread. Adding metamucil can help. Drinking lots of water is important. Even drinking coffee can help. Some medications can make people constipated, such as anti-depressants, so if someone is taking medications it is important to check with your doctor and/or pharmacist. If one or more medication makes you constipated then you may have to compensate and increase your fiber.

I’ve been in remission for almost a year and it’s no accident. It’s no fluke. When I started doing the following things, I gained thirty pounds in a matter of weeks and my symptoms pretty much just went away. You can heal yourself too, but it’ll take dedication.

First and foremost, you need to remain positive, and you must believe that you can be healed. This is hard when you’re so sick, but you have to do it. Studies have shown that people who are optimistic about their Crohn’s have less flares overall.

Also, it’s good that you’re taking Pentasa. It’s *very* important for anyone with Crohn’s — but unfortunetely it takes about a month to build up in your blood stream to the point where you’ll feel much difference in your health.

This is why doctors almost always prescribe Prednisone. You didn’t say whether or not you’ve been on it, but since you’re still having symptoms and you didn’t mention it, I think you probably haven’t. You should ask your doctor about it if that’s the case, because Prednisone is extremely effective and immediate.

It also has some nasty side effects you need to be aware of, though: It’ll make your face round out and it’ll give you horrible acne. It’ll make you more susceptible to infections and it’ll make you hot all the time. And it’ll make your moods swing like a yoyo.

But it’ll almost certainly heal you for as long as you take it.

Also, be aware that you have to be weaned off Prednisone. Stopping it immediately is highly dangerous, but under a doctor’s supervision weaning can be done. Some people have difficulty with weaning and have to go more slowly, but it can be done.

All these meds will help you a lot. But for most people, they don’t stop flares completely. They just make them less frequent.

The single most important factor for long-term remission, given that this is a digestive disease, is diet. The diet I follow, and the one which thousands upon thousands of people have been virtually healed by, is called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, or SCD. It’s somewhat radical, and requires a great deal of willpower to stick to, but I’m convinced it’s what keeps me in remission.

You can read more about SCD at http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/.

Sadly, and due to the unique nature of food, none of the Crohn’s diets have really been studied scientifically, so your doctor won’t recommend them. My doctor told me, "I can’t actually suggest you go on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, but if you want to, and it works for you, go ahead." That’s pretty standard, which is sad because so many people could be helped if only their doctors could tell them how.

Finally, I’d just say: Don’t lose hope. You can be healed. You can have a healthy, vibrant life. The steps you have to take aren’t painless (acne?! no more wheat?! ack!), but trust me, Crohn’s is a lot worse.

Try not to stress about anything, it can aggrevate your symptoms. I was on many different medications just to make it managable, which wasn’t working in my case, bare in mind it can take a few weeks to notice the benefits from your meds. They said they were going to have to operate on my ulcers and bowel in general, it doesn’t cure you but it gives you alot less pain if it’s so severe. It’s all uphill until you are past the first few months like the other guy said, they are the worst, then it’s all about keeping it as best you can, and until then it’s very difficult to control. Try to do things to relax, when I have an episode of cramps etc I like to read or just listen to a couple of songs on my iPod or try to sleep. Some friends in hospital i’ve met over the years used to paint, since it’s the most relaxing therapy. Anything which takes your mind off it as best you can is great. Good luck, and remember it probably won’t get worse than it is now, only better. =o) Don’t hold back from calling your doctor if your pain gets worse, they are there to help and make you well again.
