  • I have crohn's disease and the symptoms were horrible. I was diagnosed a year ago, lost shit loads of weight and looked like a skeleton. Fortunately through medication, exercise and proper diet I feel much better, and there has been a reduction in the inflammation.

  • you guys are all drifting away from what it's all about....stop all this "one upmanship" and get back to Crohn's

  • Imagine not having access to medical coverage. Some people think not all kids deserve access to treatment.

  • I have crohns to I am only nine and I got it when I was 6 and I had surjery when I was 8 It is so painful and my dad has it.

  • and you should research your illness cos you clearly know jack s**t about it 

  • i think this is the most stupidest video i have ever seen in my life its totally takin the p*ss out of people who are suffering with crohns wth the whole toilet /roll thing ive had crohns for 10 years and two bowel ops none of the meds work on me i basically have to get on with it and this is the sort of things that make me fuming when i see people putting this stuff on. everytime you ask someone hey you know what crohns is?? they reply oh yerrr its where you s**t yourself all time. thanks alot!

  • I was diagnosed at 13 as having crohn's. Been off medication through strict control of my diet- simple foods, no rubbish junk foods. You just need willpower. I was on a liquid diet for 2 years to get myself better. Doctors have no idea what's going on, but that's not a reason to turn to stupid pseudoscience remedies. Just take what's been proven and based on science.

  • @lumaix

    2 years on a liquid diet!!?!?!?!?!?!?  mine only lasted 1 and half months

  • @Goalie1995 Well that's why I don't get stomach aches ever. I'm pretty much healthy.

  • @Goalie1995 oh yeah and I've never taken meds

  • @lumaix so you're only allowed to eat jello and popscicles for food and u drink juice and pop and clear broth and all that stuff?

  • i read this and i am among the 2 to 28% of the population who suffer from constipation...i have been really lucky though i have had Crohn's Disease for 9 years i got diagnosed with it when i was 14 and i have only had 1 flare up since then and that was 4.5 years ago....i am not taking any medication for it although they prescribed pentasa and entocort for it but i have managed just fine without it!

  • 15,000 + views has certinly raised awareness .

    raw veggie juicing has helped me so much, cabbage too, cutting milk/dairy .....

    helped me , mebbe it'll help someone else too, just wanted to say.

    luck.

  • ive had cd for 5 yrs now .. had a bowel resection 2 yrs ago . and lost 30 cm of small bowel , part of my colon and my appendix ... i now have a huge scar where my great abs used to be .. i hope it is my last surgery but recently developed another fistula caused by the crohn's .. theyve given me more meds to take but so far getting better .. but at least im alive .. i hope everyone with crohns learns to live a normal life despite being cursed with this disease ..

  • @TrailBlazersInc: Have you tried a naturopathic approach?

  • @4chango i tried changing my diet , and also tried different herbs and stuff that were supp to help stop flare ups . but so far nothing worked .. they currently have me on remicade infusions

  • @TrailBlazersInc: There currently a complete regimen onmy channel in the comment section, that will help.

  • @TrailBlazersInc Did you try Cat's Claw? It's the most amazing herb ever for Crohn's. It has worked without fail for me; suppressing the most painful intense flares in minutes. This one time I couldn't even walk I was in so much pain, took a dose of 4500mg of Cat's Claw, and then in 10 minutes I was back to normal. IMPORTANT NOTE: when I started Cat's Claw, I only started receiving the beneficial effects at 4000mg. Anything less did practically nothing. And the recommended dose was 1500-500mg.

  • @socceric17 Uncaria tomentosa actually strengthens the immune system, which is not of any help to people with active disease. The benefits you feel are likely due to the sedative effect caused by high doses. All in all, I find it entirely believable that you'll FEEL better at the time, however, I'd still recommend conventional (ie proven to work) medication alongside it. (To be fair, you didn't state if you'd used Uncaria tomentosa in lieu of other treatment or with it.) 

  • @pamew Actually new studies are finding that Crohn's Disease is caused by a WEAK immune system, not an overactive immune system. And if that's true, it would also explain why some people can suppress their crohn's with high levels of vitamin D and others can suppress their crohn's with fish oil when neither of those have any sedative effects. And nope, I'm not taking any medication besides Uncaria tomentosa and I only take it as needed now as my symptoms have become less severe ^_^

  • @socceric17 Please talk more crap.

    No, seriously, go on.

    If Crohn's was caused by a weak, under-active immune system, then immune-suppressants would make it worse, not better. Everything you just said is contrary to around 30 years of successful treatment in Crohn's patients. Don't blame anyone but yourself when you end up with a strictured bowel and have to have a bunch of your guts ripped out.

  • @pamew 30 years of successful treatment? lol that's funny because I can't go a day without hearing a new story about someone's liver getting shot from from their meds, or someone gettting a serious infection like gangrene because their immune system was suppressed, or someone having their entire large intestine removed because their meds weren't working. I didn't switch to alternative medicine for no reason. I switched because modern medicine wasn't working for me.

  • @socceric17 You know what "alternative medicine" is? It's Medicine that doesn't have enough proof to actually scientifically prove that it works. You don't trust medicine, so you use unproven medicine instead? makes perfect sense...

    Secondly, the things you list like liver damage are called "side effects". Like it or not, despite their drawbacks, cortical steroids have by FAR the greatest success rate of any medication.

  • @pamew No actually alternative medicine is medicine that can't be patented like herbs because they grow in nature. And since you can't patent them, you can't make a huge profit because other people are allowed to sell them too. And since there is no profit behind alternative medicine, pharmaceutical companies don't fund any studies in that area. Additionally, herbs have been used as medicine for thousands of years so to say that alternative medicine is unproven medicine is incredibly ignorant.

  • @socceric17 "No actually alternative medicine is medicine that can't be patented like herbs because they grow in nature."

    Aspirin.

    Penicillin

    Both derived from natural sources. Both NOT "alternative" medicine.

    "Additionally, herbs have been used as medicine for thousands of years"

    1. Argument from antiquity fallacy.

    2. People thought the earth was the centre of the universe for years too.

    How do you think that ingesting a weaker, more dilute form of the same thing is better?

  • 2) Naturopathy is rejected close to universally by medical professionals.

    Odd that you'd mention greedy corporations making profits. You any idea how much "holistic medicine" makes in profit in the US? Not that "they make profits so it's a conspiracy" is a valid argument to being with.

    I guess I can understand your desperation for a sense of salvation, personally I prefer to just go with the most realistic and evidence supported treatment. Your choice.

  • @pamew U sound like a prednisone dependent. I'd prefer herbs or non-allopathic medicine over conventional medicine such as prednisone any day. Just don't blame the world when you die so young with complications due to overusing conventional meds.

    There are arising number of docs who support that Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis as the culprit among CDers. Why do you think Dr. Borody is becoming more recognized? Because his treatment works better than giving corticosteroids all day...

  • @Almondx3 "U sound like a prednisone dependent"

    Since being diagnosed at age 13 to now, at age 21, I've only actually had 3 rounds of steroids. So no, not at all. Also I mentioned nothing about what particular treatment I'm on up until this point, making your accusation somewhat blind.

    As to your claims regarding myco... (continued)

  • 2)

    MAP has been found in slightly elevated frequency in people with crohn's. There's no actual evidence of MAP being the root cause however, and the absence of it in many with crohn's disease rules it out completely as a lone cause. This is contrary to your claim of:

    "Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis as the culprit among CDers"

    "Why do you think Dr. Borody is becoming more recognized?"

    argumentum ad populum fallacy, and a poor one at that, as it's still a minority opinion.

  • @pamew U sure are making me imply that you prefer to live a drug intervening life with complications with what you've said. Don't give me the autoimmune bs b/c there are plenty of people who are gone into stable remission with Dr. Borody's treatment for MAP, alternative treatments, dietary changes, etc.

  • @Almondx3 "U sure are making me imply that you prefer to live a drug intervening life with complications with what you've said."

    I can't MAKE you imply anything. You simply stated that I "sounded like a prednisone dependant" and when challenged, failed to provide any good reason why you had come to this conclusion. I also haven't suffered any complications as of yet, so wrong yet again.

  • @pamew And just because the doctors think that its cause is idiopathic doesn't make it true. You can't take a biopsy of every single cell that's inflamed in the digestive tract and confirm whether it has been infected with CMV or MAP.

    Not saying that THIS is the primary cause/trigger of the disease because every individual with this disease manifests with different color.

    There's a limit to how much much our medical system can offer for this disease. It's not like a broken arm.

  • @Almondx3 "And just because the doctors think that its cause is idiopathic doesn't make it true."

    "idiopathic" simply means "arising from an unknown cause".

    The exact mechanism(s) that causes Crohn's  have not been isolated. This means it is idiopathic. This is not a matter of debate.

  • @pamew And really? You must be taking the logic course, which I took two years ago, in college. You seem to stray away from the point instead you attack the flaws of the structure of an argument. You can practice plenty of this if you are preparing for the LSAT.

    Let me know if you are taking the MCAT, I can help you with that.

  • @Almondx3 "You seem to stray away from the point instead you attack the flaws of the structure of an argument."

    Haha, oh wow...

    "you attack the flaws of the structure of an argument."

    Yes, because if an argument is built on logical fallacies, it is not a valid argument. The clue is in "fallacies."

    "You must be taking the logic course, which I took two years ago, in college"

    Nice attempt at another ad hominem, implying that I'm behind you in terms of education.

  • @pamew Aspirin is not an herb. Herbs contain a variety of chemicals that all work together to help the body. This is why herbs are better. Aspirin is just one of those chemicals in the herb. Would you call a Vitamin C supplement a fruit because there's a large abundance of it in fruits? No you wouldn't. Would you say a Vitamin C supplement is just as healthy as eating an orange? No you wouldn't. Why? Because oranges contain a lot of different chemicals that helps your body in many ways.

  • @socceric17

    "Aspirin is not an herb"

    Strawman. Didn't say it was. You however, said this:

    "that can't be patented like herbs because they *grow in nature*."

    I think you'll find that the bark of the willow tree is in fact natural. "like herbs" doesn't mean "exclusively herbs". Get your wording right.

    "Would you say a Vitamin C supplement is just as healthy as eating an orange?"

    If I was treating a vitamin C deficiency, pure vitamin C would be the better option. (continued)

  • 2) Yes, you also get healthy nutrition from eating an orange, but you get less vitamin C per dose. Which makes it less efficient for treating a vitamin C deficiency.

    Much in the same way that you can use willow bark to treat headaches, but commercial aspirin is more efficient. If you're treating a specific condition, the best medication is one which specifically targets said condition at the highest level of efficiency. And we have a word for that. It's called "medicine."

  • 3) quite a few patented medications have their roots in those *natural* compounds you keep harping on about. Clever men in labcoats realised that if you isolate the relevant compound, you can get a much more effective per weight product than you would by simply ingesting the entire source.

    I notice you appear to have abandoned your argument from antiquity at this stage, at least you seem to have (somewhat tacitly) acknowledged your mistake with that one.

  • I would recommend using Cat's Claw. It's a herb that reduces inflammation, relaxes muscles, improves immune system, fights free radicals, and lowers blood pressure. I got off all my medication for Crohn's by just taking this one simple herb at 4000mg/day. If you are unhappy with Crohn's please please please research this miracle herb. It has completely changed my life. You can probably find it at a local health store but if not, you can find it online at numerous sites.

  • Check out "The Community Crohn's Foundation" fan page on Facebook and become a fan!! Thanks and best of luck with everyone battling this disease!!

  • Heres a bit more information on Crohns Disease that I found.

    theoriesforcrohndisease(.)blog­spot(.)com

    Hope it helps.

  • I like the pictures of the toilets. LOL So true. Thats one of the reasons we got a camper so there was always a toilet nearby on are camping trips. Even with a toilet nearby u just never no when your chrohns will give u a embarrising moment.

  • im not sure what song ... its one of you tubes audio swap ,

  • whats the song? great video i commented a while ago when i first got chrons :)

  • andrew still luv u bra

  • Haha thanks bro

  • I think you're being a bit unreasonable. Not all cases of crohn's disease are the same, so it's unfair to be so judgemental. It actually causes a great deal of stress for a lot of people so I'm happy that you are managing your case with such success but this it's not that easy with other patients. I would avoid making such claims. Just my opinion though.

  • yea youre a real piece of shit!!! you're lucky to be able to that stuff but your still a fucking asshole

  • i was diaognised with Crohns Disease last April,2008. For few months i was on pentesa but i found that it did not help me. I ordered a Yoga DVD of Baba Ramdev for stomach ailments and tried yogasan and prayanam everyday. i am feeling better. I also read so many books on Natural Hygeine and one of them is Self Healing by David Klein. Please read this book. I am performing well without any medication. Just trust on God & God may bless you all. if you need to contact me please contact me.

  • @imx4uxxx

    I'm so glad I got Crohn's disease cause it proves to me even more evolution is true and I'm on the negative side of things and there is no God.

  • @imx4uxxx I'm 13 & have Crohn's disease I take pentasa also... it's helped for a while but I am still always sick and constantly losing weight and getting sick any suggestions?

  • @SaphireInk If you can afford it try Lialda. There's a ton of different medications out there and it's sort of a hit or miss with most of them. The IV treatment remicade might also be an option. Most importantly is your diet though. Get a high quality juicer and start juicing a bunch of vegetables and also start making Brasco Broth (google it). That stuff will do wonders! Good luck!

    oh and I was diagnosed when I was 10 and am now 20

  • research (maladie inflamatoire) 3 videos of my little girl 16 years old who is battling this week for a life for the 6 times..

  • i thought my crohns was bad

    i was diagnosed in october 2008 (im 12)

    i just wish my classmates could understand the illness but not one of them has the brain capacity to do so

    and i would like some GOOD medicine

    the docs have given me a load of shit like prednisolone pentasa asacol

    all of which didn't work out

    im on antiobiotics now but they're doing nowt

  • hay im on pentasa now lol

    im on 2 diff types of medicon a day

    it suck taking it al the time and if i miss it im always ill

  • same same

  • I HATE THE PENTASA LOL SO MANY

  • I was just diagnosed on 1/12/2009 (I'm 15)

    I got an abscess on my ass the size of a tennis ball. I needed surgery After the surgeon cut me open she stuffed my wound with gauze. every day for a month after a nurse had to come to my house n pulled the gauze out and put clean gauze in. very PAINFUL.

  • Hey guys i know how you all feel i was diagnosed with crohns colitis when i was

    15 im now 23 ive tried just about every medication. Ive had 2 lots of surgery, Im now on Humira which unfortunately isnt helping much either.

  • o and by the way i was diagnosed at 16 surgery around 17th Bday and now 20! Family Guy helps!

  • wow and i thought my crohns was bad. all i have had is a foot of small intestines removed and they even took my apendix the robbing bastards. At the worst parts of my crohns history i was on 2 macaptapurine tablets, 8 pentasa some steroids and iron tablets. That was 2 years ago no, im not too bad now i have the occasional flare ups but they only last about 24hours at a time. But i would rather have tablets then surgery again. To all my Crohnies out there keep your chin up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i had crohn' s for 19 yrs im 31 now. i had 2 surgery s losing 3 ft of my intestnes. Im addicted to oxycontin i take two 80mg tablets a day for the pain. Its an everyday battle and hopefully they ll cure this one day. Stay strong!

  • Hey peeps! Have anyone had drug induced Lupus from having infliximab infusions? I was told it's kinda rare, it happened to me which is a nigtmare as it worked wonders for my crohns but caused so much other unwanted probs lol....typical!

  • unfortunately...drug induced lupus is actually more common than people know. very sad ;-(

  • thats right you dont get lupus you causes it and dairy is another big cause animal base diets kill or disease people

  • what kills me the most is the mass number of ignorant people. I mean, it's only your body and your health, no big deal! (catch the sarcasm) but the thing is, people like to use the excuse "well, the doctor never told me." if you're an adult, you need to know that maybe you aren't asking the right questions. If you ask, they will tell you! My fiances cousins g/f, has lupus, and has had it for years, and the entire time, she thought there was only one type of lupus....ignorance is bliss.

  • perfect fucking song by the way....

  • As Crohn's can be very painful...I am fully addicted to vicodin. It's fucking horrable! I don't know which is worse, the pain the withdraws or dealing with life struggling between the two. I had a bowel resetion and a colostomy bag for a year or so...since reversed.

    I can't spell by the way so if you are going to rip on me for it...fuck off. Anyway I'm drunk as shit to escape the pain right now. Thanks for the video~!

  • Aww bless you. I know exactly what you mean, with all of it. I also had withdrawals when i came off alot of stuff including MST tablets but now im on Oramorph. Anyhow all the best :o}

  • Comment removed

  • I have crohns disease and it is not fun at all. Find the right GI Doctor and the right surgeon and take meds as necessary. Keep up on the latest news. Be aware and be careful and know all you can to stay well.

  • Hey, I suffer with Crohns, I have been on various medications and trials, so far I have not had surgery apart from removal of my appendix as it was affecting my intestines.....I hate this condition...It depresses me so much!

  • This is a great video. I have had Crohn's for about 5 months and i hate it! i would die for some BBQ ribs. lol. But thank goodness for Imuran, entecort, and my millions of vitamins. :)

  • have you guys tried remicade yet? it really worked well for me. i hope the best for you all.

  • dont worry man the medication they have now is great. do what your doctor says and eat right, everything will be ok

  • @phillyctheman LOL, if that was true, i and a lot of people would feel soooo much better.

  • @Avenuezy i have had crohns for almost a decade now and i have been through it all. at the end of the day when you're feeling good (like i am now) the only thing is to be grateful. Positive thinking can go along way my friend

  • @phillyctheman how do you manage?

    my latest blood test results were not good. i was being hysterical, i acted like it was the end of the world. i am NOT down to be poked twice a week. who DOES want to be poked? i decided to try a natural path because i know there are other answers out there besides committing suicide. though it doesn't make a difference since i have been living in hell my whole life..

  • just been diagnosed with chrones disease. there hitting it with everything theyve got though. on steroids, immunosuppressants and on elemental 028 until christmas then its the lofflux diet for me! this disease is awful, i was luck though, only took two months for it to be found out! in that time i lost a stone and am now 5,9 but weigh only 6,10 stone if it carries on im going to be hospitalised over christmas. and im only 15!!

  • Professor Borody interview. Must watch.

    IBDvideos' channel playlist

  • I am having a colonoscopy today to take a third look at my inflamed ileum. This disease takes a lot out of a person. It is particularly painful when it invades the roof of one's mouth. Ouchie.

  • I was diagnosed 7 years ago at age 16 - 3 operations later and still not settled. Don't know anyone else with it. My friends are sympathetic but they will never truly understand how debilitating this is

  • i was diagnosed with crohns on thursday 1 december and i haft to drink nothing but basically milkshake ,no food for 8 weeks including christmas and i am only 13

  • Check out IBDvideos' channel for more information on Crohn's

  • Talk to your Dr and get medical marijuana it has helped me and nothing else would. I have yet to go under the knife.I only wish I had talked to my Dr. about it sooner.

  • i was diagnosed with crohns when i was 12 since then i've been emitted to the hospital 3 times and i've also undergone laproscopic (spelling) surgery, since surgery, knock on wood, i've felt virtually cured

    hope eveyrone with this disease can feel as well as i've been doing

  • i was just diagnosed with chrons on thursday. sucks im only 17. i had to get a CAT scan because i have been having lots of pain on the right side of my belly for about 3 months which was thought to be from ovarian cysts, anyways they thought i had apendicitis but when i was in the hospital they said it was chrons. i dont need surgery thank god, i hope the meds help quick because i cant stand being in this pain.

  • Yeah i was diagnosed at the age of 11, drasticly changed my teanage years!!!

    been on tablets everyday for 5 years now in and out of hospital about twice every year.

    very painful on the right hand side of my stomach aswell! and im only 16 now =[

    gonna have it for the rest of my life

  • @KirstenBo: I place a naturopathic approach for chrohn on my channel in the comment section. it will only be posted for a few more days.

  • I have had crohns 20 years with more then a dozens surgeries. I must say that vid sums it up beautifully.

  • Love the new song, thanks babe:)

  • none of the pills work for me:(

  • Me either. I just started Humira at the end of July, and it's not really working, either.

  • I've lived with Crohn's disease for 20 years. Never had to have surgery, been in remission level control for about 10 years now.

  • realy

    what kind of crohns do you have ???

    what do you take ???

  • i was diagnosed with this dreadful disease in 2002-2 ops later and lots of appointments,tests,pills etc i have been clear since then thank goodness.

  • that video made me sad... :) thank you for posting this!

  • I loved the tribute..very nice.. i have CD for 9 years and 1 surgery 8 years ago and thanx for clip

  • thanks loved that one i to have it been 11 years now and have 3 kids so you too can have a almost normal life keep up the fight al of you from kissabell in australia

  • i love how u made it a little funny =D made me laugh. thanks

  • I have had crohns for 7 years. I was diagnosed in 2001 when i was 12. The first couple of years were tough. I lost alot of weight and had to be fed by a tube. I was told in 2005 that I needed surgery. This was the best decision of my life. I had it on a Wednesday and was out six days later. That was three years ago and I have not had any problems since. Anyone who wants advice can just ask on my profile!!

  • linds92 i was 13 when i was diagnosed and my xmas was worse den ur prolly i got all this new snowboard stuff that i couldnt use was enimic cuz i was bleeding and now i cant do any of the sports i used to do so yeah it hasnt been a year yet even and i was on prednisone or w/e and now i have knee pain i cant wait till i go into remission it will be so much fun !!!!!!!

  • 17 years of severe CD... and still kicking. If you haven't yet find yourself a local CCFA support group. If your town doesn't have one, start one!

  • I got crohns and its pretty bad ive only had it for 3 years and i got really depressed and did stuff that i regret but then a girl just recently came into my life and she doesnt care about my illness she cares about me and i promised that i wont go anywhere. Someday there will be a cure!!!

  • Got crohns myself, diagnosed Nov 2007....very thought provoking this video. Agree with comments re prednisone, plays havoc with you does'nt it. My crohns starting to settle into remission again with Aziothripine. 5 flare-ups since xmas eve (that was some xmas day!!). Theres a study into the causes of Crohns starting now by University King's College London, watch out for the results of it in the next few years.

  • so im not the only one who has a pharmacy of pills at home. LOL. I hate steroids!

  • lol i have quite the pharmacy going on my kitchen counter too... The steroids suck, gives me horrible chest and neck acne and make me want to keep moving all the time and like wiggle my fingers and tap my feet like a crazy person lol. And as much as I dont want to eat they give me a huge freakin appetite lol

  • me too! people at school make fun of my face-fat =( i have lots of spots too

  • great vid. ugh prednisone... lol

    not that many people know about CD which kinda stinks because you can't really talk about it that much with understanding people, like i don't know anyone my age with crohn's in my town..

  • i got crohns disease on october 2007 i was 13 now im 14 but this hurts like hell im right now stuck in the hospital for pains i drink 21 pills a day for this crappy disease i get locked up in the hospital 2 times every month for a week i hate this shit but owell this is in gods hands now he does what hes does for a reson well bu bye yall

  • Hello, I was diagnosed with CD before my 14th birthday, now a while later I have been getting small itchy bumps on my behind and neck near the chest, My friends and i went throuh a manhole sewer tunnel and I was wondering if its from CD or from crohns, someone please answer me. TY

  • i dont know what going into a sewer has to do with anything but the steroids can give you those "little bumps" if you are on them... Just acne but it can be irritating and look like a rash

  • Great video, i was diagnosed with this afawl disease 8 years ago. i no what you are going through. Good luck with everyone who is going through this disease.

  • This vid scared me way more than making me fel good.

  • Its said no one knows what causes crohns but I "KNOW" one cause!!! Huffing! I huffed/inhaild blast off aka that caned air to get high. It gave me crohns when I was 15 first affecting my throat and then making it to my intestanse 6 months lator.

  • Huffing does not cause CD. Do your research. Many of us who have CD have never huffed.

  • my symptoms started the first time i got drunk when i was 13, does that have anything to do with it do you think? considering its supposed to start when your immune system over-reacts to certain substances...

  • I have had Crohns for almost 9 years, but am in some kind of lucky renmission the last few months, but I wonder what's next. Hopefully surgeries will become less needed, because there were 2 new disease-modyfing (not steroids) drugs for Crohns made available in the last few months, one is Cimzia a TNF-drug, and the other is Tysabri, which has a new approach. Surgery is the last thing we want.

  • Hello fellow suffers and supporters

    I know what its like i was diagnosed when i was 9 years old and im 15 now. I know what every ones going through and how though it is, i myself have had 3 surgeries and have taken many very expensive medications ..

    For all you out there the PROBIOTIC im on now is called florastore its great no presription need and not very expensive its changed my life maybe it will change yours?

  • yeah i've been messing with it for about a year now and its still severe, if i'm not better by 10 weeks they're pushing for surgery. scars the shit out of me (no pun intended) i'm only 16

  • I don't have crohn's nor do i know anyone with it but it looks very painful and the video was very touching i'm sorry to those who have it and have two word's of encouragement keep fighting!

  • Thank you for the video, even though I dont like country music I found the toilet pics funny, I have been fighting severe CD for over a year and am only know finally entering remission, its been hell and painfull
