We've talked about LMV's Crohn's office, and we have talked about Jim (POPS) Crohn's diner, what about a whole community based around IBD?
What would your community have in it?
What would the street names be?
Who would you want to be your neighbors?
 
A 'flare up friendly' diner with only yummy safe foods. And someone to clean all those bathrooms, lol.
 
Doctor House (yes, the fictional character from TV) would be on call 24/7 to help the undiagnosed get diagnosed, and to help the tricky/severe cases get into remission.

Every house would come equipped with a minimum of 10 bathrooms (and a maid to clean them) and bidets in all the bathrooms. Heated seats on the toilets too of course. And a full media library in each bathroom - books, video games, TV & movies.

For those of us who are crazy enough to work out, there would be a fantastic gym with every type of equipment imaginable. And nobody would ever hog the gym machines by just sitting there for ages playing with their phone (sorry, turning into a rant now! :p ).

While we're dreaming, in our fantasy community, the only side effects from pred would be awesome ones. Increased muscle mass and fat loss and no water retention, energy to do what you need to do during the day but it would magically allow you to sleep at night, and instead of moonface, it would give you the ability to fly to the moon! :p
 
An inexpensive store close by that has everything we might need for those with IBD and their families who live with them. Includes: food, beauty aids, clothes, medications and other necessities. Of course, this store would have to be the right price where everything is on sale everyday so we wouldn't have to keep a watch for sales!

Also, it'd be nice to have a place where we could go to blow off steam when we're frustrated. Might be worth having a range of some sort. Maybe full of Nerf guns or water guns? We'd want to be able to have fun, but not hurt each other!
 
I think we would all have hovearounds instead of cars. That way we don't have to tire ourselves out having to walk into stores. Like in Wall-e! And there would be no need for computers because we can just all talk in person
 
Stores where gluten-free items or lactose-free items are actually cheap!

And clothing exists that grows and shrinks with you and always manages to make you look good.

Toilet paper that is super soft and never runs out, ever.

Every hospital room is private, with your own washroom and comfortable amenities. And actually good food.
 
Your veins don't get exhausted! IVs don't hurt, and we have NSAIDs we can take safely. :p

Biologics are way more affordable, and people with IBD get coverage for their medications.
 
Cheap craft stores with everything everyone is working on along with free classes for those wanting to learn new things.

Warehouses that have all the items one would need for hunting or fishing for those interested.
 
Cross-stitch, yes to the craft stores!! I would add to that, sewing machines that never jam, with bobbins that never run out of thread. :p Every color of yarn imaginable and they never run out of stock. Every type of fabric known to mankind, and sewing patterns for things like hospital gowns and heating pad covers. (I can never find sewing patterns for that kind of thing!)

Beautiful hiking trails - with nice bathrooms every 20 feet or so - not porta-potties, not pit toilets, but proper flush toilets.

A cat cafe, so that we can all meet up and de-stress by petting some kitties while chatting and drinking herbal tea. :)
 
And a butler, personal assistant, massage therapist, physical therapist, makeup artist, hairstylist... ;)
 
You've all convinced me to move here.

Let's add a beach and a mountain for hiking in.
 
Ooh yeah a beach. And no one would have to be self conscious because we are all accepting of each other.
 
And we all have the most expensive awesome electronics...for free... Because we deserve it
 
Hiking trails with benches to lay down on about every fifty yards. And, of course, the previously mentioned bathrooms.
 
I'm voting for self cleaning bathrooms and not the pit toilet kind!!! The kind that you never have to scrub down!

And, cross-stitch items to the ceiling in those craft stores Cat! Of course, we have to have a way to get up to all of them too though...

Did you not see my earlier post about how instead of moonface, we'll be able to fly to the moon? ;) We can just fly up to the stuff on the top shelves!

Hey, if we're dreaming, forget House, I want Doctor McCoy. No more colonoscopies (and preps), he just waves his little magic tricorder and knows what's wrong, then gives you a nice hypospray to cure the whole thing.
 
All restaurants already know about food sensitivities and it's easy for everyone to find something safe to eat! And offer digestive enzymes too.

All washrooms are stocked with 3-ply toilet paper.
 
Every time you have to go to the bathroom, there is a double that appears to take over your responsibilities.

:dance: Boy is that a pet peeve of mine... They get the thinnest toilet paper thinking they are saving $$$ but you have to use 3x the paper so they didn't gain anything. The worse are any state amenities like rest stops and state parks, they have the thinnest paper on the planet. When I go camping at a state park, I pack my own toilet paper. When I am traveling I prefer convenience gas stations to rest stops.

I know! It's terrible. Even when I was in the GI ward at a hospital they still had 1-ply toilet paper, and that's the one place where you'd think they'd splurge.

I can just imagine this restaurant. "How are you today? And any food sensitivities/ allergies? Oh of course we can make that gluten free. And can I interest you in any complementary digestive enzymes today?"

Lol. Would be fabulous
 
All housing, transportation, and luxuries are 100% paid fo,r because everyone admires the IBD community for our awesomeness.
 
i think were forgetting the point I'd rather have only scientists and doc. devoted to finding a cure (not 'remission') once and for all.
 
Water fountains would also be equipped with saline pumps and electrolyte enhanced water for dehydrated crohnies.
 
Free reusable water bottles included with ice & electrolyte enhanced water that by the push of a button will refill itself. However, are also good in dishwashers for sanitizing.
 
Who has been reading my Christmas list?

We no longer have any food sensitivities and can eat anything or as much as we want.

And, ya, we really are incredibly awesome ~

Can this be available now? Right now my husband and I both have upset tummies from eating too much. I guess that's what happens when you cook your own food...:ybatty:
 
Can't forget the personal chefs that intuitively know what the healthiest meal for each crohnie is.These meals are always delicious,as well as nourishing,of course.
 
how about these for street names .. poopendectomy ave..loo rolls lane, ineedtogonow st.. getoutathe way.. followtho ave..skinnyarse boulavard.. ostomy corner..just a few to get us started :)
