My name is Nick, and I also have Crohn’s. I am 28 and was diagnosed when I was 11. Your optimism is a symptom of your good health. I have had two surgeries and dozens of colonoscopy’s, so hearing your story fills me with disdain. I hope for your sake it doesn’t get worse, because you have never experienced pure torture like this before. I pray to God everyday for relief, but each day seems a little longer and worse than the last.

i was the same age when i got crohns, i’m now 31. its tough to deal with but believe me it can get better. not to be harsh but first you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself. think about some poor bastard with terminal cancer and 6 months to live. you still have your whole life. positive thinking and being happy WILL have a positive effect on your situation. Also, i highly recommend you take liquid omega 3 fish oil daily. my doctor has nothing better than steroids to offer so i did research.

Try the Specific Carb Diet!! Google “SCD Diet Main” It works!! You will get better maybe cured!! The goal is no pain no drugs no D.
So many have been helped by this diet! My daughter 8 was so sick!! Now she is completely symptom free!! She must stay on the diet at least one year. It’s tough but so so worth it! Our whole family eats this way now. We are all healthier. The Science behind it explains why SO many are developing this disease now. It’s the food we eat!! Drs won’t admit it!! -

I am fit and healthy and have Crohn’s disease, I have just been diagnosed at the age of 36 years old! I’m on steriods at the moment to stop the inflammation but I’m still eating well, going out, dancing and just enjoying life. Crohn’s is not a death sentence! No way! Crohn’s can also go into remission which is something to hope for and you never know what medicines will be available in the future. Please stop feeling sorry about it! This is a common disease.

I wish I had met you sooner – I am Eric Henderson – a real person.. I too have crohns.. I had been pumped full of meds – steroids, remicade, toxic stuff – I had many visits to the ER and ended up having intestines removed and an osotomy bag. the bad was removed and I felt much better for about a year and a half – then symptoms returned – began to flare up again. a friend sent me some aloe sea vegetable juice and it works… I want to send you and anyone with crohns some. Please call me – try it.

lol oooo man. you really need not make boasts like that. crohn’s disease is different for EVERYONE and i have been on prednisone for almost a year and sure it will help short term, but it causes a HUGE amount of long term side effects and all kinds of horrible things happen to your body while on that drug. I am in the process of tapering off of it right now, and it has been hell. Please keep in mind, every one is different. Especially the intensity of their symptoms. You happen to be lucky.

I think this video diary is great- very mature and realistic. Many thanks to Nick for talking so frankly about his experiences.
