Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi Everyone, I am new to the group, my name is Caryn and I have had Crohn's Disease for 11 years and have been on SCD for about 6 years. I had surgery a year ago to remove 9 inches of illeum including the illeocecal valve due to a narrowing caused by the build up of scar tissue. Since the surgery, I have done fairly well, a colonoscopy 6 months after the surgery showed that I was in remission! One thing that I have noticed is that over the past 5 months I have had issues with constipation, where as I did not have these problems prior to the surgery, even with the narrowing. I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there who has had similar problems with Crohn's and how you have handled them. In addition, has anyone tried digestive enzymes? If so how have they worked for you? Do you recommend any specific formulas or brands? Thank you so much for considering my questions -- gratefully, Caryn :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
