No pain???? Wow I haven't had a day in a year without pain, Actually my docs say my Crohn's pain is the whorst they have seen, to date.

Don't trade no pain anytime, embrace it!!!

Hello,

I have never had much pain either. I have basically gone my whole life up to now without knowing I had Crohn's. And I am 46 years old.

When I formed a stricture that blocked food from going anywhere, my trouble started. In a round about way that I won't go into, this led to an H-Pylori infection that did cause me pain. I got rid of it myself, but needed surgery to get rid of the stricture.

So it is entirely possible to have Crohn's without pain. I do not know why there is no pain, but it has benefits.

I was in excruciating pain a few times in my childhood that may have been Crohn's but I have no way of knowing now.

You will have to treat it one way or another. It just keeps eating at you otherwise.
