Can Chrons Disese Turn Into Cancer?

Q: I have chrons and i had a dream last night that my dad said i have bad news it’s not chrons it’s cancer so now im worried can it?

A: hi wisam, I am a crohn’s pt. I’ve been one since the age of 12….going on 28 yrs. now. I understand your concern of CD turning into Crohn’s. There is a risk in pts. who have IBD if they have polyps in their large intestines and don’t take care of themselves. Some crohnies will have no problems b/c they are on maintenance medications such as Entocort, Humira, Remicade, or immunosuppressants to keep things under control. Be sure to ask the GI for something for pain mgt. such as Darvocet, Demerol, Tylenol 3, etc. to get you through those rotten spells. For stomach spasms ask for Hyocosamine or Bentyl.The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation has a website that you can go to find the latest information on treatments, diet, surgery, how to handle pain/flare ups, etc. They also have a live chat and website that is run by healthcare workers during the week as well as a forum that is open 24/7 where pts. and their family members can post questions.This disease is a pain in the butt. My heart goes out to you. I hope that your MD can put you on something to keep things in check and something for the pain. Feel free to email me if you have questions. I’ve been where you are.The CCFA site has info on colon cancer and IBD as well. You can also talk to your GI and primary MD to get accurate information as well.

Help With Chrons/Predisone?

Q: i have been taking predisone latly for my chrons disese but since iv lowerd the dose iv been feeling sick agian and im trying to get off predisone as quick as possible what should i do

A: Don’t mess with your prednisone. I know it has many less than desirable side effects but it is a good drug and if it is working for your crohn’s why would you want off of it? Crohn’s is pretty miserable all by itself. Stopping a steroid can also be dangerous! If you really don’t want to be on it, talk it over with your doctor and see if something else can be done.
