• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

Encouraging tips from experienced patients !!!

Thrre is a lot of support on this forum. I have a history of fistulas. One of them, i had pastors lay hands on me and afterwards, they couldn't find it. I have been operated on numerous times. I had a resection eight years ago. My family was there at the hospital for me every time they could. My wife waited on me hand and foot while I recovered.

Faith is such a strong thing in our lives. I also believe that family's compasion and moral support plays a key role in the disease's management. Of course under the appropriate medical guidance. Your story is such encouraging:) wish you the best :)
Keep posting inspiring context :)
I would like to hear even more hopeful messages :)

Certainly without support from my Wife & Children (now adults) I don't think I'd be here now. Friends sometimes can be supportive, but not always & I've got used to that side of life.
The other thing I've done is I've stayed on a low fibre diet for the last 8 yrs & it appears to really help me. Of course I get tempted to eat the wrong foods but its just not worth it for me.
I'd also advocate straight talking with your Gastro Specialist, pussy footing around gets you nowhere & sometimes you end up being given treatment you don't want. You know your own body better than anyone else-never forget that.
Best Wishes
