All of you veteran Crohnies out there know exactly what I am talking about. For all of you newly diagnosed Crohn’s patients, I hope this will help you a little. And, everyone, please provide your insight as well! Brown Brown is the normal color of poop. There is a pigment called bilirubin that is formed when the red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow break down. This ends up (by a complicated process) in the intestines where bacteria begins to form and eat which turns the poop brown. When iron in the red blood cells combine with bilirubin, it turns brown and when the iron influenced bilirubin combines with the poop,...

I hope that you made it through the Thanksgiving holiday better than I did. It is time for another installment of “How is your Crohn’s today?” and I want to hear how all of you are and how your holiday went. The day started out badly for me because I woke up with cramping and diarrhea and spent most of the morning on the toilet. I even told my husband that I wanted to stay home because I was really not feeling well and couldn’t imagine eating or socializing and was thinking that I wouldn’t mind being alone in my misery. We were going over to his parent’s house to celebrate with his family and some friends. But, of course, he told me that I cannot be all alone on Thanksgiving, so I reminded myself of all that I am thankful for and tried t...

A number of other studies have also failed to find peptides in children with autism, but this is the largest study and the first which properly compared children with autism with a control group.There is a problem with respectable scientists. By nature they are cautious. They do not make claims that they cannot substantiate.Dr Hilary Cass, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Dr Paul Gringas, Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospital said "It is very distressing to have a diagnosis of autism, a lifelong condition. Many families are driven to try out interventions which currently have no s...

If I advise a patient to have a medical test and they decline that, as far as I am concerned, is the end of the matter. (Provided always they are adult, sentient etc etc).I last saw Annabelle eight months ago. She is 51 years old, a senior sales assistant with a large retailer, happily married, two adult children, and she rarely comes to the doctor. She came last July with a history of a change in bowel habit. Bit constipated all of a sudden. Been going on for a couple of weeks. No blood. No weight loss. Otherwise well. No family history of bowel cancer. There was nothing to find examining her abdomen, her rectum was empty and there was no blood on the glove. You can argue long into the night about...

One of the most common is obviously gastro-oesophageal reflux. Look: GERD (content/view/198/2/) Then people start to talk about acidity. For example look what Aparna wrote about acidity (content/view/276/9/) And then, if you have a stomach ulcer, you might also think about hyperacidity, which always was considered the case, though in the last 10-20 years it was shown that up to 75 % of stomach ulcers (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/pepticulcer.html) are caused by H. Pylory (or at least associated with the bug). This is, by the way, why we treat the peptic ulcers with antibiotics nowadays.Yet there are some rare conditions.I have asked Louise to talk more about one entity: Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome Zollinger-Ellison Synd...

How about week before that? Remember that late party with yourfriends? Water brash and hoarseness the day after?Because some people with those symptoms actually suffer Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease(GERD), you shouldn't take it lightly. Usual criteria are suffering symptoms of acid reflux for more than 2 times a week.The mechanisms of GERD vary. Sometime hiatal hernia may contribute to the condition.
