Hi XXXX,

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory condition of gastrointestinal tract lining. & causes severe abdominal pain & other digestive problems hampering your day to day life & health. I appreciate your concern.
* From your information you are probably going through an acute exacerbation of the condition. The flushing & feeling hot is out of the stress of pains you have to stand. The tubal pregnancy like pain may be due to affection of intestines in nearby area.
You are taking Ibuprofen & Rolaids for it without relief.
* I would suggest a consultation of a gastroenterologist & get your medicines revised- for the medicines you are taking are not relieving you.
Doctor will asses your condition/ & will give you specific treatment that suits/ helps you .
Other alternatives for treating inflammation like oral 5 amino salicylates / corticosteroids / immune system suppressors/ antibiotics/ metronidazole/ Proton pump inhibitors will be advised according to doctor's opinion, to make you relieved & comfortable.
Surgery is advised in few non responding patients.
* Along with these few life style changes would help you to cope up with Crohn's more comfortably. they are-
-Food: take small servings of food. Drink plenty of water,take low fat diet, take multivitamin supplements.
