My boss is having this. He told me a few weeks ago how painful it was. He texted me this morning saying his daughter is taking him to hospital because he's sweating again. I am really worried. I am praying that he'll be OK. I am here to learn more about the chron's. May God heal those who are having this.
I’m a 50-year-old man, I was diagnosed with indeterminate UC/Crohn’s disease. Most people fall into one category or the other, but if you like myself cannot be put into either category, so most often and we are told we have Crohn’s disease. I’ve had five different G.I. doctors, and all of them disagree on whether I have Crohn’s or UC. Crohn’s affects everything from the mouth to the rectum, and everything else in between, where is ulcerative colitis affects only the large intestine. I was diagnosed at the age of 20, although I remember having the symptoms all of my life, but I was too afraid to tell my parents, because I knew that bleeding from the rectum was not a good thing, and I was terrified to go to the hospital, until it got so bad I had no choice. In the past 30 years, I have been through hell and back with this bloody disease. I have had 37 operations, the first Of which because my entire large intestine ruptured, and I was clinically dead for two minutes on the operating table. That set me off on a journey of self discovery, a lot of pain, and awful lot of secondary chronic illnesses, 11 in total, all due to side effects of the medications and treatments I received. I now live with about 5% off my entire gastrointestinal tract left. On my first operation they were moved my entire colon, and during the ensuing 36 for their surgeries they removed my rectum and almost all of my small bell, having had eight ileostomies, 2 K pouches and a J pouch (please google those terms to know what they are, otherwise I would be typing forever). Keep in mind my situation is exceptionally rare. My current surgeon says I represent only .1% of 1% of all G.I. patients, so I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, I’m one of those people that if it can happen it will, lucky me! At the age of 46 I was forced to take an early retirement, and go on permanent long-term disability for the rest of my life, and although I may look like everybody else, I am extremely disabled, you just can’t tell from looking at me, because I have many invisible disabilities. With all that said, I want to assure all of you that most people that I know of live their entire lives with Crohn’s disease, and never have to have any surgery, keeping their occasional flareups under control with medication. In fact I would guess the vast majority of patients with this disease fall into that category, and if that’s the case it’s not that bad at all, but in my case, well, I suppose there’s no point in scaring the crap out of everybody, pardon the pun, but I think I got the worst case of the disease possible. Every Doctor Who has treated me as all told me I am indeed the most severe case of Crohn’s disease they have ever seen, makes me feel so special inside, not! Why can’t I be special for having lots of money instead? The psychological and financial effects of this disease are equally devastating, something nobody thinks about, unless you’re the one suffering. At the age of 50 I never planned on Having absolutely nothing in the bank, because I was forced to use all of it just to survive, as the G.I. supplies are insanely expensive and my insurance refuse to cover it, but the fact that they save my life, I guess I shouldn’t complain, although there I say, there are days when I wish they hadn’t saved my life, because I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. The thing I’m angry about the most?I’m angry at myself for not getting it taken care of sooner, because I know for a fact that how do I sought out treatment earlier in life I am most definitely could’ve avoided my intestine from rupturing, and I could’ve avoided all those surgeries, but because of my cowardice and childish fear, I do enjoy myself to a life of unbelievable pain and suffering, please don’t be that person, get it checked out if you have any symptoms, and you will be just fine with medication alone. Wait until it’s too late like I did? If you survive, you will not believe the amount of pain that you are a force to go through just to stay alive, anyways that’s my two cents, just had to share that, so if you or anybody you love or showing any symptoms, please don’t hesitate to get a checked out, because believe me, you could be saving your own life or someone else’s by doing so, thank you for listening.
I don't want to spam but the only solution I found is honey and sahmerdan black seed oil, just eat 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 tea spoon of sahmerdan black seed oil together and you will see the benefits. Try it.
@@olican101 it depends how bad is your crohns disease. I have it and unfortunately its really bad because of my dad didn't take me to the hospital for months... 🙄 im in pain everyday even though I have treatments now
I was diagnosed with crohn's when i was 18, now im 22. I had undergone two major surgeries, they had to remove a portion of my ileum and was left open with an ileostomy bag . And another surgery just to close the ileum back. Crohn's is fucking hell ! ..medications every single day untill you die and the control over your food! A big salute and hug to every single person out there in this world who are living with this terrible disease ! BTW I'm from INDIA , a country not so popular for crohn's.
I have this, and at times it is so severe that can stay in the bathroom for an hour. This can occur 4 times a day. It starts to consume your life. Let me give you some tips. Red meat is the worst thing you can consume. It is hard to digest and triggers horrible attacks. I've not eaten this for over a decade, which has helped me lead a normal working life. Also avoid caffeine, chicolate, sugar, gluten, dairy, and breads. I feel best when ratings eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, and sugar free juice. This can be a very painful and disruptive disease.
I was diagnosed with this deasese in 2016. I saw an specialist at my local clinic, he did a colonoscopy and found ulcers on the small intestine , he put on all the drugs that he knew of for chron's deasese I think and nothing worked for me, most of then would you just give me really bad abdominal cramps, I saw him for a about a year and a half and he would never answer my questions. Something I'd always ask him was if the ulcers were ever gonna heal and he just didnt care about my concerns, he also never mentioned anything about a diet or how food can affect it. I quit seeing him a few months ago and I am recently not taking anything but the symptoms are a living hell, and I'm looking forward to a second opinion at the mayo clinic kind of soon. This deasese its really affecting my daily life "any extra advice on how to emotional deal with it would be really appreciated" Thanks in advance!
This isn’t the end of you leading a normal life. I’m 19 and was diagnosed at 11, I won’t lie I’ve had my ups and downs with the illness but if you can live going through the difficulties that comes with this illness you’re a very strong person! I’ve been on Calcort then Humira and now my Doctor prescribed Stelara (not sure how it’s spelt). I got an infection in my small intestines because a year or so back I had stopped taking my humira for a couple doses. I was sent to the hospital about a week or two ago and stayed for 9 days. God answers prayers and let me tell you that if you ask God for healing and deliverance he’ll come through for you!
I have crones disease and I am only 11 years old and I was diagnosed with it when I was 9 years old! Under the age of 9 I was really healthy and was the right weight but I had 1 problem that was growing! When I turned 9 a few months later I got more pain every day until I said to my mum “I want to go to hospital” and that wasn’t I need to but it was I want to! Do you think a child should want to go to hospital? When I went to Wrexham hospital they had a big playroom that had a lot of jigsaw and that was good because I loved jigsaws at that time! I spent 1 week in the Wrexham hospital with them struggling with me until they said “we don’t know what to do because we can’t find out what’s wrong” but a few minutes later they said that I will have to go to Alderney hospital for children in Liverpool but the ambulance was late and it came at 4:08 in the morning! When I got to Alderney I met all of my nurses and my doctors found out what is wrong with me straight away and my mum started crying so I said “don’t worry because I’ll take all my medicines and be good so I get better soon! From then I had a lot of needles every morning and by the end of the week my fingers were full of plasters! I soon met my true best friend I was looking for forever “eve Rooney” the playworker in my ward... She used to come and see me every morning and I had to have a tube up my nose to feed me a milkshake full of all the good stuff I need because I wasn’t eating because of all the pain I get after eating food! I was in that hospital for a month and yes they done a amazing job, but they said to never ever go back to Wrexham hospital for my disease! A few months later I had a really bad day because I got sent to hospital for another week, but they said I can go to the ward I was in before, so I was excited to see ev (her nickname). But then the nurses she was seriously ill so my chance was gone for seeing her every morning! I got worse and worse and I have only grew 1 cm in the last two years which is disappointing! The hospital is giving me lots of treatment to keep me well but it seems to be stopping! The pain is getting worse so I’ve started saying “I want an operation to take my bowels out and that is where I am right know! Give it a like if you hope I get better. Thank you if you liked it. I hope I grow 🤞🏼
Well I have been living with this for like 5 years already, almost six years, and it’s really hard to find some of the medicines for it. Like I have this one medicine, it comes from another country so, it can only be found in ONE hospital in our location. Then in some days I can’t eat anything but soup with vegetables and meat. And my grandparents don’t even let me eat fried. When they let me eat fried they will think that I would want to eat it every day and not stop eating. Maybe I could have at least once or twice a month or something. And some days I have to lay in bed and just do nothing but sleep and go on my phone cause I can’t control the pain. And I feel like I am falling into depression cause of this. I really want to find a cure for this sickness. Who’s with me?
all i had was a burger, sweet potato fries, and like 2 onion rings for dinner, and i feel this. it keeps getting worse by the hour and I'm concerned. i literally ate a small bag of goldfish before bed the other night and had this type of pain so bad it woke me up in the middle of the night😞
Please. Never. Give up. That you. Can. An will be. Healed. From this.alwaful. Disease. Believe. Really. Believe. With. Your. Heart. An your. Sole. An it can truly. Be.
I got lucky, diagnosed early and nipped in the bud. If i could go back and change my disease, i wouldnt because it made me stronger and i refuse to let it rule my life. Sorry to anyone who has it bad, if i could take it all for myself, i would but i cant and iv always felt like i didnt deserve the perfect little life i live with my disease in remission, but i guess i cant complain or rant, just say to anybody that is suffering that ur not alone, ur strong and i salute u wherever u r ♡
I was diagnosed with this when i was 11 lol :( Im 14 now ITS HELL I HAVE OTHER STOMACH DISORDERS TOO I HAD A PEPTIC ULCER THAT WAS BLEEDING I HAVE H PYLORI (a bacterial infection of the stomach) WHYYYY CHRONS IS ENOUGH HELL
I was dealing with crohns for 2 months before I was diagnosed after a bunch of blood tests and doctors appointments. I was diagnosed on my 13th birthday and i had to have 2 colonoscopies and remicade infusion. It helps a lot but sadly gave me psoriasis and skin problems all over. I have to remove special things from my diet that cause flare ups like corn potato anything fried peanuts oranges caffeine and chocolate. Anyone who has gotten medicine and still has gut problems I suggest going to a special doctor that puts bikes on your stomachs to test if what foods may irritate your gut. Also I have to take like 8 different supplements. One time my crohns got so bad and painful I Almost killed myself, I went to the bathroom at one point 17 times a day. So take this advice and know it gets better just good to know there’s other people out there who share this. Crohns is a living shithole
I'm a child and was diagnosed with Crohn's a few days ago. This video gave me good insight as to what's going on in my body. I'm actually anemic and fatigued most of the time, and I now know that this may actually be coming from Crohn's. Thank you for this video!!
I unfortunately have it. My mother, and her brother has it. My mother had multiple surgeries, first was removing part of her colon and giving her a colostomy bag. She had to take alot of prednisone which made her gain weight. But her health was good. After 8 years she had an experimental surgery called a J-pouch. Which looped her intestines. And then could use the bathroom as anyone else. But after just a few years it turn bad. It put a strain on her heart and cardiovascular system. Then when she was bed ridden she got bed soars. And then infections. And then she passed away. She would have lived longer if she has kept the colostomy bag. And now im have to go through the same things. R.I.P mom.
I am 19 and a student Before entering the University I ate lots of fast foods and drank coca cola NOW AS A RESULT OF THESE I HAVE SOME PROBLEM WITH MY STOMACH AND my intensines sounds chronic What should I do to be healthy
I have that and i never got better with doctors help. It only got worse with medicines. I got better after i changed my eating habits and changed my diet completely. Now i’m almost 2 years crohn’s free. NOTHING symptoms and blood work is perfect. No medicines no pain anymore.
My doctor is pretty much in denial that i have Crohn's. Even though blood test have shown deficient in vitamins d and b also stool test shown inflammation. I also have all the signs from the mouth ulcers and body ulcers to the calcium oxulate stones to eye problems.
Why don’t you have them do a Endoscopic, that’s how I found out I got it. I have an Ulcer in my small intestine and inflammation through out my upper track. Have been experiencing severe stomach pain and went in and they did the test.
I have crohns my symptoms were weight loss fatigue and anal bleeding. I take an expensive medicine and now am have no systems. I gained about 35 pounds after 3 months of getting treatment
Can you please explain me the details why because my sister is also suffering from Crohns disease since 10 YEARS. Gone for treatment to many hospitals but no cure. Will be a honour if you tell me how to get rid off to such disease. Am from India. Thank you Mobile : 91+ 9948698551( watsup number)
It has no cure but working with your doctor and dietitian symptoms can be manage! I am so sorry for how go feel right now and I hope you all can feel better soon!
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but my next door neighbors are a husband & wife couple whom both suffer from crohn's disease. They both smoke cigarettes a lot and drink harsh liquor.
Any medication for IBD.. For stomach crump.. Gargling sound in empty stomach.. Bread and dairy intolerance.. Eyes allergy.. Weakness.. Any medicine plz
I have severe abdominal pain and bloating but no diarrhea, blood in stools or mucus. Docs say it’s Sibo/Dysbiosis and I had a colonoscopy that did not show Crohn’s or UC but I still don’t believe these incompetent doctors. Really hoping for a miracle at this point been dealing with this for 8 months! Everyday! Help!
(Cure for crohn's) For the first four months, you take 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night with GI-Integrity (L-Glutamine). If you are allergic to shellfish be careful with it though because it contains small amounts of shellfish. You also take 3 drops of 10-1 CBD-THC oil with a product called CBD alive at night. Do this for at least four months and the pain will go away....plus your calprotectin level will drop. Trust me, I have tried many different medications including methotrexate and they caused horrible symptoms, but not GI-Integrity or CBD alive. In fact, you will not even have to go to the doctors for it because both are just supplements not medications!. I have taken them for a year now and I have had no symptoms related to crohn's disease about after 2 - 3 months once I started. Please try it....I feel like these supplements are not represented like they should be.
I got a book on gut microbiome there is a lady that works with ppl who have this. It has definitely helped with my gut issues. "The microbiome solution" I think is the name, defo worth a read.
I suffered after eating and a while later after meal it felt like sumat burst inside my stomach and immediately I couldn't breathe proper..... all my body went warm and it felt like I had no air TO breathe . I've suffered this for years! has ANYONE suffered from this????????????
Dude please consult doctor my cousin who is of my age 19, came to about last stage when it was detected. He had to go through multiple surgeries. The surgeries where hell like. His stomach bulged , he was in paon and he passed out , that was tge point when he was detected with chrons disease
Deepu Raja uhm my mother has worked out for years and it’s never gotten rid of her crohn’s disease. You probably never had it and just had a stomach bug 🙄
I have it. It just adjusts to the medicine they give you. Rn I’m currently suffering all over again. Whatever I eat hurts me badly 10 minutes after. I don’t know what to do because it just keeps adapting to the medications.
Stay away from alcohol, coffee, cigarets, fast food, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, eat small meals, meditate, and add flax seeds and fresh aloe Vera to your water and you will see the difference.
Two weeks from now i supposed to have an mre check for chrones the doctors said that they are 90% sure that i have chrone after 8 months of having problem the checks i did didnt show any chrone or colitis so il still got hope but after hearing what everybody says it got me thinking whats the point of getting up in the morning if this is how ur life are?. If i have it so far it isnt as hellish as it sound so i wonder does it ever get worst rendomly or is it always stays the same like symptoms wise. Other then that wish me luck and hope for the best
Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) is a challenge to diagnose because it mimics every common gastrointestinal disorder, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Please check our newly launched educational patient resource resource "You and Constipation" (www.YouAndConstipation.org) intended for patients with constipation. Wishing you good luck! Hopefully you will get proper diagnosis and treatment!
