Has anyone here with IC ever been diganosed with Crohn's diease? I spent all afternooon in the er and this is what they said that showed on my CT scan. My bowls are really inflammed. I have to make an appointment with my uro to get a gastrologist so that I can have a biopsy done.

I just want to know if this is normal, and if there are others out there that have this what meds were you put on.

They started me on prednisone to get the inflamation down and vicotden for the pain. I know that it is all about pain mangament just as well as IC I am assuming.

If there are any suggestions I would love to here them.

You are not alone. Many with IC have Inflammatory Bowel Disease(IBD). It isn't as common as PFD, IBS, and some others but there are a group of us with both IC and some form of IBD. My current treatment plan is antibiotics I alternate between Cipro and Flagyl every other week, a high dose of asacol, and VSL#3 2packets a day.

Feel free to contact me if you need to. You are not alone and I am always here for you. :groupug:
My current diagnosis of IBD is UC/crohns...uclerative pouchitis. I am a unique case.

I have to say that the VSL has made a huge difference in my treatment....more than many meds and it is an alternative although I do get help paying for it since doctors want me on it.
