Hi. I am new to this forum but not to Crohns. I was diagnosed 41 yrs ago (Wow..I can’t believe it’s been that long!) at 16yrs old. I had been on everything but biológics which was what the direction my Dr. was moving until I stumbled upon LDN. I have been on it for 10-12 years and have been pretty much in remission since... or at least symptom free! A few weeks ago I started having a lot of gas…which produced either yellowish/tanish floating blobs or clear liquid sometimes tinged pink or red.. being worse in the morning upon waking And eventually a normal bowel movement. This has been going on everyday now with occasional soft stool. It’s been so long since I have had a real flare. Usually in the past I would have multiple urgent trips to the bathroom with diarrhea. .. but this is not that. Does any of this sound like something any of you have experienced?
A couple of things that I have thought may be contributing are: At the moment I have an infected impacted wisdom tooth which I will be having surgery for (no antibiotics taken) I also had pork which I had to handle raw and also made a kale salad which I massaged and I was concerned at the time if I had washed my hands well enough. I also have internal hemorrhoids. I was able to get in to my Drs office today and saw the PA. They took blood and scheduled a colonoscopy. She thought it was imperative that I got in ASAP. Thank you for any reply’s and/or input. I am kinda nervous.
