Crohn's Disease and Steroid Use

[Femme40]

I am a 40yr old woman with well controlled Crohn's Disease for over 4yrs. Cycled Clen with no recurrence of disease. Would like to try Anavar, Winstrol or Primbolan (inj). Anyone (male or female) with advice regarding use of these with Crohn's Disease? Do NOT want to cause a flare. Thanks!

I have Ulcerative Colitis and do fine w/test as I am on TRT. I am adding in GHRP-2 next week and hear HGH helps with these diseases.

BUT and I repeat BUT...everyone is different and will react to things differently. So go into everything with caution and DONT stress because that is a major factor in alot of flare ups. You know your body better than anyone else so do what you feel is right for you just be careful.

One of the Oxandrolone's sides is intestine discomfort with possible diarrhoea.
I believe in your case, that is the last thing you want.

I have U/C and have not had issues with AAS, hopefully titanium can chime in because he has crohns and might have taking some of these compounds.

Thanks for the suggestions, all....much appreciated! Stress at a minimum, weight training definitely a great outlet. If I were unable to do that, I'm sure I wouldn't be doing so well with my disease. Which is why I want to get maximal results at this point. Thought about GH....but I've been so well controlled, colonoscopy is clean. Therefore, no GI will give me a script for it. Pricey otherwise. Good to hear others have not had issues with AAS...gives me hope.

My brother has Crohn's and he uses AAS pretty extensively but.. EVERYONE is different.. and he is of the Male gender.. He hasn't had any instances where it effected him in any way regarding the AAS.. but he has had flare ups and ended up in the hospital for other reasons.. so all I guess I am saying is.. if you are going to go the route (this is coming from his mouth) "If you go the route of AAS use compounds that leave the your body quickly. *Anavar,winstrol,tbol,primobolan(acetate),Any Peptide, and if your goals permit even low low dose test prop- you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever- if by chance you DO.. Discontinue Immediately !! Good Luck with your treatment, I know what you are going through and at times and you are a very strong woman for being able to conquer it and be able to utilize your time at the gym shows the type of person you are, i wish I had the chance to meet you myself..

i have crohn's and have taken a cycle of sustanon. when i went to the doc for my yearly check-up i mentioned it to him and asked if it would hurt me. he said it wouldnt and i never flared up and havent had any symptoms from it. but my case is more than likely different so just take caution.

I can attest to this, anavar has given me horrible gas and slight diarrhea.

My Chrone's gets better on cycle, and bothers me more off cycle. Under control with Pentasa and librax.

Diet and stress are the biggest components.

I will add emphasis on "STRESS".

Women's chemistry is different that male, obviously, so I would proceed with caution.

I have studied this exhaustedly and blogged my diet if that helps.

Auto immune diseases are on the rise.

I can tell you 3 things that Doctors in Boston do know.

Environment, stress, and diet.

I think you will be fine, but do proceed with caution.

Start low, and ramp up from there.

Gear is a blessing for myself.

Going on TRT for this reasons, (and others).

Hope this helps.

I can eat var like candy.

No issues.

Everyone is so different with this, so that's when the proceed with caution comes into effect.

Thanks to Deuce and Rana with there input.

And everyone else also.

If I find anything new or different, I will add it to my blog.

I have U/C, diagnosed 3-4 years ago and have had no flareups while cycling. I have used moderate doses 40-60/mgs per day of anavar or 50 mg/dAy of winstrol along with a test base. Good luck.

I may add that I only had the squirts for 3-4 days and after that I was good.

The smallest change in diet or medication can cause this.

Then the body gets used to it.

It really is amazing how we are all the same, in the fact we are human.

But, so different with everything else.........

Deuce...thanks for your words of support, very much appreciated! Leaning toward Anavar or Winstrol. Test? Absolutely not! The slightest risk of masculinization worries me, even at the lowest dosage. Want to retain my femininity I would obtain either of the others at the lowest possible dose, then break the pills in half to begin. My concern is my current medication regimen potentiating the effects and/or side effects of the AAS. As I said, had no issues with Clen....but in a class of its own.
Just a word to the wise...being a medical professional myself...to all that have either UC or Crohn's Disease: I see in the blog repeated recommendations to ask "your gastro regarding the use of AAS". These specialists are trained in the treatment of this particular disease...NOT the use of AAS in conjunction with the disease. If anyone out there wants a truly educated opinion regarding this topinc, please go see an Endocrinologist. These are the physicians well-versed in this subject. A simple recommendation based on my occupation.

I have an excellent gastroenteroligist and a endocrinologist also.

Education is key.

Stress was the cause of my U/C, I removed myself from that enviornment and have had not flare ups in a few years. I am lucky to be able to eat any food without any issues. Read Titaniums blog, threre is a lot of great info that should help you out!!

Rana and Titanium...thanks for all of the input. Always very interesting to hear of other's experiences with this disease process. From day one I have been told stress is a major factor in triggering flares and/or causing IBD. Interestingly enough, during the most stressful times of my life in the past four years (since diagnosis)....death of a loved one, difficult divorce, surgery (non-IBD related)...my disease was at its quietest.

The acute onset of my Crohn's occurred during a relaxing 2 week vacation in the Caribbean. Studies (as well as opinion of multiple NYC docs) reveal the theory that IBD is associated with exposure to a certain bacteria, along with a depressed autoimmune system. I also tested positive for the gene. So much is known, yet unknown.

Causes of exacerbations can be so individual-specific...as is response to diet/medication. We can only cross our fingers, hope for the best and find what works for each of us. And continue to share info!!!
