Bad days in remission ??

by Jo
(Kent, UK)

Hi there. My 13 year old daughter had a limited right hemicolectomy in April this year. she started off well but in the last few weeks she had been having a few days off school as she has Crohn's pains back. This morning I could actually hear her stomach groaning and then see her hunch over with the pain. Does anyone else still have bad days when they're supposed to be in 'remission'???? Please help! many thanks. Jo

My son was suppose to be in remission but he has been in pain for 2 months. He is 17 and had the crohns since 13. He had to withraw from college to come back home because of the pain. Now the pain is less but he is not in remission. Bleeding stopped because he took remicade ,one shot only. Now Stress is the main problem and then the food. Every time my son eat fast food he gets severe pain and when he eats homemade food "not greasy or hot" he is fine. Do not give her row vegitables they are hard to digest and some of the are very gasy. Drink a lot of liquid.No milk or citrus. If she feels weak give her protein shakes. clara
