Hi there,
I have had crohns for over 25 yrs (diagnosed at 12, small bowel resection, flare up in my esophagus, anemia, arthritis)
When I was younger I was smaller with the disease. I am in an active flare now and I am actually overweight. I am not taking any meds currently. I have to discuss this with my doctor soon but I am trying to avoid meds if possible however the pain is starting to get me down. I am at least 60lbs over weight, Im keeping very little nutrients in my body so Im at a loss. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you
