Crohn's symptoms decrease with cold/flu?

[Kegsworth]

I've noticed since my dx that when I have the cold or flu, my stomach seems to be more forgiving than usual. Almost in remission, but not quite. I assume it's because my immune system is preoccupied with the acute symptoms associated with these common invaders.

Anybody else notice the same?

I so wish that was my case in a way.LOL.Mine actually gets worse,my arthitis acts up and I feel like I have charlie horses continuously.I get badly dehydrated to the point I get renal failure and end up in the hospital.Mind you I also have an ostomy bag which makes it all the worse
