Hey, I'm the girl from the documentary. Thanks for your comments - it's always nice to hear from other people who suffer from Crohn's. Fortunately, I have been in remission for about 3-4 years (and off drugs) now so fingers crossed I don't have another flare-up! This video is hilarious - my face is soooo swollen from steroids, I hope I never have to go down that road again.

Hope all of you are also well x

This is a great piece. I was diagnosed 2 years ago but it probably took about 6 months from me first going to the doctors (after suffering in silence for a while...) until diagnosis after being admitted into hospital very ill.

i feel there are a lot of preconceptions about crohn's disease aswell which only makes it harder for sufferers.

hi.. iv'e had crohns for about ten years,,on and off. i had the operation to remove parts of my guts..not a pleasent experience at all..but in the long run i'm glad i went through with it because without it things could have got a lot worse. now i feel fine with just the odd flare up from time to time.

oh! and the scars not too bad either...lol
