Hello,
I am trying to find some others that are under the impression that Ritalin might be a contributing factor to their Crohn's relapses? I can't assume that Ritalin as directly induced my relapses but it all seems correlated... (*ok I use ritalin on a regular basis when I am having intense exams sessions and papers to write cause I need it the most at these times, I try to not take a lot the rest of the time. I am well aware that it's also the stressful university rushes that might be contributing, but I had the same happening during the summer while I wasn't too stress nor too overload with works... So I can't help it, my fingers want to point finger to it... Especially considering I had not flared in 10 years and a month after I started taking those... I relapsed...
It's hard to find people that have both Crohn and that are ADD elsewhere than on forums like these. Therefore, if you have experienced something similar, Id like to read your stories... Sometimes I feel like there is more than just this and that... Just like they pointed out that Accutane can lead to CD, that cigarettes cause relapse in CD but that nicotines influence positively UC, etc. I'm not confident enough to stand and pretend with certainty that my ritalin use is linked, it might be a coincidence but I think it worth asking.
Thx
