Hello :)

Hi, I came across this site researching rice milk and crohns

I have been diagnosed with crohns since 2006, after apparently my firstborns birth triggered disease activity - no clue before this time, but later found out an aunty had it.

My health is not too bad these day, but its very changeable, as i'm sure most of you guys are familiar with. I am on and off steroids regularly, take aza daily and have had the drippy thing that made my viens collapse (remicade?) that was a couple of years ago.

I have 2 children and am about to embark on a Uni degree. Clearly I am stark raving bonkers, but i do not deal well with boredom, and as many of you would have experienced yourselves, being in bed for weeks is boring, so i am making the most of moderate health

Thats it i think for now, Im not the best at introductions lol

Hello Gemarie
Welcome to the forum.
You will find lots of information and support in these pages. whenever you need it.
It is a changeable life with crohn's as you say.Good days and bad days.(and nights)
It is good to be distracted and very good that you are about to embark on a degree course. It will keep you busy and distraction always helps with a chronic illness.
Bit more challenging with the acute episodes though., but I have found it still helps.
Most helpful I find is heat and meditation.
Stay well
Hugs and best wishes
