Afternoon all,

Just joined after a lot of surfing mainly looking for diet advice, I was diagnosed with Crohns last Thursday so apologies for any daft questions in advance, I seem to have it quite mild at the mo having read some of the posts on here fingers crossed it stays that way

Tynemouth,
Hello and welcome.Sorry you have to join the Crohnies club though.Hopefully you will remain a mild case for many years to come.I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago,and it was only last year that things began to change.I still consider myself fortunate though,compared to many poor souls on the forum.You will find that you are much more aware of little niggley pains,what your eating and toilet trips etc.but once you become used to the idea of having crohns,you will understand what's going on inside.We are all different,ie; symptoms,treatment,meds., diet etc. Hope your having a GOOD day today.Best wishes.
