But we can try these tips to avoid bloating — we’d be willing to try anything to get rid of that tight-pants, always-full feeling. And share your own ways to fight the bloat in the comments section, below. Avoid salt. It makes you retain water and bloat up. Drink lots of water. If you’re hydrated, you’re body will avoid storing up lots of water. Ditch the straw. Drinking through a straw increases the amount of air you swallow, which would make you bloated. Don’t eat gassy foods. Carbonated drinks, lentils, wheat bran, and artichokes make you gassy (which can be more uncomfortable than bloating alone). Grab fiber. Eating fiber helps everyth...

There are certain facts that women should know about uterine fibroids.

In case you are new to this blog, I stole this idea from the MS blogger Trevis Gleason because I thought that it was a great idea. The idea is that we each tell how we are feeling today. I will start by saying that I am generally good. I have decreased my prednisone to 15mg per day and the last couple of days I have been a little depressed and very tired. I know that it is my medicines that make me feel this way, but still, it doesn’t make the sadness go away or the irrational thoughts, joint pain and certainly doesn’t make my mind work faster. I just have to wait it out until I get balanced again. I was feeling really good bu...

I am also a little bit nervous. I love to paint for many reasons but mostly because I love the vivid colors of the oils and I love the freedom that I feel when I paint. I can do whatever I want with the colors and it is bliss to be free like that. It is also very relaxing. I also love dancing for the same reason. I spend most of my days being constrained by what I can’t do that I love the feeling of letting go, of being free from everything, even if only for a moment. I have never taken a formal painting class before; I have just messed around with oils at home. I am nervous about the class mostly because I worry that my Crohn’s will act up. It is impossible to predict how I am going to feel and I donâ€...

Luckily, there is no sign of glaucoma or cataracts, which is really good since I have been on steroids for so long. Plus there is no sign of inflammation. Crohn’s disease can cause inflammation in many different parts of the body other than your small and large intestines. These include your skin, joints, mouth, throat and eyes. I get the inflammation in all of these except my eyes, which I pray will remain unaffected. Inflammation of the skin can cause inflamed skin nodules on the arms and legs (erythema nodosum), and blue-red skin sores containing puss (pyoderma gangrenosum). I get the erythema nodosum. They are red hot patches on the skin that are very tender to the touch. I have gotten these before and after a major intestinal flare and once all...

I know what it is like for me but I don’t know anything about what it is like for a man. I wonder if you have the same fears and concerns as us women. Are you afraid to tell people that you have Crohn’s because maybe they will know what it is and judge you in a bad way? For women (at least for me), I never wanted to talk about anything related to bodily functions or the toilet. I mean, I tried to keep it a secret that I ever went #2 at all. It all seems so silly now, since everybody does it. I just didn’t feel that it was very lady like to mention such things. Now can you imagine having this kind of complex and then developing a disease that makes you go to the bathroom for #2 many times a day – with gas...

That is the finding of cancer experts this week who announced that possibly insignificant events and signs can turn out to be real-life indicators of ovarian cancer. And, the identification of these relatively light (benign) signs can, however, save lives according the report.Signs such as bloating, abdominal pain and even eating difficulties are among the signs that one may have ovarian cancer. Although these signs are not really significant in many circles, they can all be significant indicators when recognized as such. In fact, all these signs -- if they persist daily for a few weeks -- should be investigated by your doctor or oncologist.Read | Permalink | Email this |&n...

There are no great screening tests to pick up on its presence in the body, and by the time symptoms appear, the disease has often progressed into an advanced stage. But a ray of light has recently emerged in the study of ovarian cancer -- and it could help in the prevention and early detection of this deadly disease.Think about this, from the April 2007 issue of Woman's Day magazine:Researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine have identified a simple checklist of six symptoms associated with an increased risk of the disease and three of them -- if they occur at least 12 times per month and are present for less than one year -- were present 57 percent of the time i...
