Adieu to you

This is my final blog entry for HealthTalk.com. I want to take this time to thank you, the readers of the blog, for your insightful and interesting comments, and for taking the time to read my latest take on this literally gut-wrenching ailment. I also want to thank the best Web content editor I’ve ever worked with, [...]

Visit to the grumpy gastroenterologist

I had a pleasant and calm visit to my gastroenterologist last week. What makes that news is that my gastro doc is notorious for being grumpy and snapping at his patients, with whom he has little patience, if you will pardon the pun. In 2001, when I was going through gastro doctors one after the other [...]

The middle child and her gut instinct

I find it ironic that, as a middle-aged, middle-income, middle child of a middle-western family, I am dealing with a disease that is gnawing away at the middle of my body. There is some sort of symbolism at work here that makes me think that God, or the supreme being, has a great sense of humor. According [...]

Happy holidays to my fellow kings and queens of the cramping colon! May the new year bring relief from symptoms and, hopefully, a cure for us all. -DeAnn

In fact, they’re nothing but trouble. This novel, written by a Scottish native who resides in England, is what is commonly known as “dark fantasy.” Dark [...]

Diets, supplements and faith healers, Oh my!

PT Barnum, the famed circus owner, once said “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Nowhere is this more evident than in the proliferation of modern “snake oil salesmen” on the Internet. I know I’m not the only person with a chronic illness who gets loads of spam in their inbox touting the curative powers of [...]

Faith in a cure for Crohn’s

I grew up in the Methodist church. And although my parents were not particularly devout, I did learn that some people feel the need to congregate once a week just to catch up on gossip and fashion, if nothing else. Many of the Methodist ministers we knew during my childhood turned out to be awful people [...]

Dealing with Crohn’s disease as a parent and a wife

My 7-year-old son Nick calls my flare-up pains “cranks” and is certain that if he kisses me on my tummy, the pain will subside. He’s become adept at finding the heating pad, plugging it in and then placing it gently on my left side, where the granuloma in my colon pains me the most during [...]
