Hello chronies,
I am a 26 year old female that was diagnosed last January 2014 with Crohn's disease, esophagitus and a strangulation stomach hernia.
I honestly had always had all of the awful symptoms of Crohn's but never though there was anything wrong because I'm never talked about my problems. I actually was scared because I was really sick with vomiting and lost 60 pounds in a month. I thought I was pregnant. Thank god I was because the guy I was dating flaked out on me when he found out I had a disease instead. My grandfather and great uncle had Crohn's and ibd are all genetic on my mother's side...my cousins have celiac disease.
After being diagnosed I am completely gluten free and can not eat any raw fruits or veggies.
I currently just ended oral and anal enemas of pred.
I also take pentasa and many other vitamin s daily.
They are still wondering what parts are causing inflammation besides my colon. My inflammation markers arnt going down from the steriods...sso I am getting an Mr entograph.
This is really hard learning to deal with my Crohn's...I have almost lost my job and many friends ships because they don't understand. ..I am newly dating someone and it's so hard to hear the question all the time of "how I feel?" IM GLAD I FOUND THIS COMMUNITY I NEED SOME VENTING AND PEOPLE TO RELATE TOO.
