I have Chrohn's Disease
No kidding? That's no fun. I have ulcerative colitis... never tried the weed for that. I've been symptom free though (knock wood) for over two years now.

Yeah....my GI told me to never ever ever take Immodium ever again. or aspirin...

(I took part in a clinical study about a month ago. They suspect something in cows' milk could be part of the cause of Chrohn's)

I have Chrohn's Disease ................
So does/did my wife. Have you considered getting those inflammed areas resected? My wife had about 7" resected (during emergency exploratory surgery) and has been Chrohn's free for 9 years now.

She can eat anything she wants now, except she does need to get monthy B12 shots, and if she has syrup (like when we go to IHOP) once she's done eating if there's not a bathroom (a decent one...........she is a girl :rolleyes: ) we're in big trouble...........why syrup goes right through her I have no clue.......... :confused:

in '96 i had an obstruction in my small bowel & had about a foot cutout. At the time they thought that was the only infected area & I was symptom free for about 1 year. Then I started getting sick again, but it was different than before & come to find out I have it in my lower colon too. :rolleyes:


MMmike-
yeah, I've heard UC sucks too. its cool you have been symptom free for so long. :thumb:

What does it feel like/what are the symptoms? I have had off and on stomach trouble for years. I have always just attributed it to stress though.

its different for everyone, but somethings that aren't GI related can be symptoms too. Like, stiff, aching joints, low grade fever, low energy level, anemia and also a high sed-rate. It comes & goes too.
