Hello all,
I recently just diagnosed with crohns disease at the age of 22. No one in my family has this no one in my family has a autoimmune disease i have no clue where this came from but I know it doesn't matter because I have it. I don't know much about it all i know is from the time I got diagnosed the extreme amount of pain I had and the blood in my stool. `i got put on medication from my gi specialist and i currently take steroids because I have no recovered fully from my introduction phase. I have no clue what to eat, I am tired a lot on my bad days, I have to go the bathroom a lot more than i ever did (5 times a day) and sometimes my gut hurts. i am just so confused about the disease in general and what to do. I feel like my whole world is about to change once i go back to my gi dr. I am also scare once i come off these steroids I will be back to laying in bed in the fetal position because of the pain.
