weird, eh? Did you notice in the link you posted it said that smoking can cause flare ups? :p
"Smoking cigarettes actually has an inverse effect on Crohn's disease; people who smoke, or who have smoked in the past, have a higher risk of developing Crohn's than non-smokers. Crohn's Disease patients that smoke have an increased number of relapses, repeat surgeries, and aggressive immunosuppressive treatment. People with Crohn's are generally encouraged to stop smoking by their physicians in order to prevent flare-ups of the disease."

When he stops for more than a few days, it acts up.
/no Crohns, non-smoker.
I have colitis. No cigarettes, yes weed.

Do you have trouble putting on weight?
Do you have trouble putting on weight? Not if I eat a lot. Before working out in 2005 I was around 120. Then I got really sick in the summer and dropped below 100 lbs. Went on prednisone in and ate everything in sight and got back to 120. Then joined a gym near the end of the year while still on prednisone. I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not. Prednisone causes bone and muscle loss and water retention. March 2006, I was on no meds and shitting 20+ a day. April I was able to get on Remicade.
I got up to 160 in march of this year but I didn't like having a fat waist so then I cut a little. The biggest problem is loss of appetite from running to the bathroom so often but I would just fight it and force myself to eat.
Just wondering if anyone else here has it. my sister has it, aunt has it, seen patients with it.
why do you have it?
conan o'brien also has it.

you don't develop crohn's like that. i think that statement is pretty misleading.
Somebody want to tell me what the f*ck chron's is?
Somebody want to tell me what the f*ck chron's is? Basically an ilness of the stomach that lasts forever, it comes and goes in spurts, and when it acts up you can get violently ill. (no, not talking from experience, yes have a cousin with chrohns)
If you don't know what it is, look it up on wikipedia or something. But yes, I was diagnosed with it back in Nov. I actually haven't had a hard time putting on gains. I am up about 10-15 lbs since then. I haven't had a bad flare up and am totally in remission now that I am on meds. I have tried to keep track of my supplements to see if any of them could cause problems, but so far so good!
Crohn's...
If you ever want to discuss it, feel free to pm me.
Friend of mines son in law has it. He is 40 now and just had a collostomy bag put on. He was taking like 25 shits a day and was in pain alot.
He is alot happier now.
oh my god after reading shit like this and the guys whove had cancer before im so glad i dont have any debilitating health problems. sure ive got some, basically just allergies (fatal allergy to shellfish) but i dont have to worry about them on a day-to-day b asis.
My brother has had it since he was about 6, hes now 27 and still suffereing from it, it was very severe from about the age of 16 to 24 where he spent most of his time in hospital. He's on a hand full of pills everyday now, but he can go about his daily buisness as usual.
My dad had it pretty badly, was really ill
I don't really nkow much about it, to do with bowels or something.
He had to take steroids as medication, made him fat though...
