![4 Common Foods that Make Crohn's Disease Worse [AVOID THIS]: Gut Health Expert](/img/n.gif)
crazy how someone with this disease can be a playing in NBA,it's a difficult condition
Pushing through conditions like this (as I do as well )
Is a frickin marathon that really doesn’t let up 😥.
I know right! I've had 5 surgeries in 2.5 years, two of them were emergencies and I had an ostomy for 8 months to the day. Only 26
Gaetano
Hang in there man . I know it’s a rough journey , from experience. I had 2 serious complications during my last 2 surgeries .
Something I try and remember from time to time is ; we don’t heal in a straight line. There’s a lot of downs and some ups . I hope your doing ok to the best that you can 🙏
It's so hard but he's young and generally healthy. But once you hit into your 30's and older it becomes more difficult. Gotta stay healthy and active.
@@Gaetano.94 I’m 27 and been feeling all the symptoms for the last 2 weeks… I’m starting to think I have it. Can’t get into the doctor til the 26th unfortunately. Pain is usually a 5-6 but it has gone through a few periods of 8-9 probably
Watching this on my toilet
Fucking same 😂
Dudeeee same. I don’t know if I have crohns or not but I’m constantly taking craps or throwing up whenever I eat so who knows.
@Mikey Ray same 😆
LOL
I was cured of this disease with herbs
I've had Crohn's disease for 3 years now I have lost my large intestine and have a colostomy bag the rest of my life I do Remicade treatments iron infusions and humaira shots this disease never goes away I spent 72 days in the hospital 23 days without eating 73 pound weight loss this disease is not a joke pray one day there is a cure
If this is Larry Nance Jr I just want to say thank you for responding I also want to say how cool it is but you help kids and you don't stop fighting we can be an inspiration so many people I'm not even famous but I help people everyday keep fighting this fight can one day I pray for a care Crohn's disease sucks
It's great to have positive role models like this! Thanks for speaking out on this, Larry! I will definitely have my son watch this!
I can't believe this.
A great testimony that i must share to all HERPES patient in the world i never believed that their could be any complete cure for HERPES or any cure for HERPES, i saw people's testimony on sites of how @dr Orede herbal_remedy helped them with the cure of HERPES . i had to try it too and you can't believe that in just few weeks i started using it all my pains stopped so I had to go and meet my doctor to see if I still have herpes but to my greatest surprise I was negative, thank you so much @dr Orede herbal_remedy i realtor appreciate you can also add him up on WhatsApp+2349049521615

@Dr Orede
People took his message the wrong way. He meant well. What he meant was to not let your disease control you, you should control it
The first thing you have to learn about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's disease & Ulcerative Colitis) is that you cannot control it, but if you learn to be flexible in how you live your life then you can manage it. This is an important mental distinction for those with IBD.
I have Crohn's and playing basketball is a huge part of my life (of course I don't play professionally but it's a very fun and therapeutic activity for me). I appreciate Larry sharing his experience.
Keep going
Chrohns is painful everybody situation is differentmy prayers go out to everybody that's dealing with this disease on a daily basis may God continue to be with you and help you
Thanks for sharing. I have had Crohns Dx for over 20 years. What Nance is doing is helping the younger people with this diagnosis have HOPE. I was diagnosed in my 30's, married and with a family.
I could see how stress it could be for younger people that face so.many social challenges.
If I may advise anyone, consider your diet and as Nance said " know what foods trigger your illness". Any doctor that says " just eat anything" is one you should stay away from. I have had a couple great doctors and they have respected my desire to go hard on the medications.
I took one med and kept seeing it float in the stool, so I asked " why take it?". That was 10 years ago.
I have my flares and have had two bowel surgeries ( earlier on). I am not buying all the medical doctors on UA-cam with their cures for it. Even if you manage the symptoms , there are plenty other conditions that come along with the disease. Scar tissue in your bowel is an major unseen danger that can cause major health issues. In my opinion this is where diet plays a major role.
The only thing know that works for me is Raw Aloe Vera blended in a clear liquid and ice. Everyones bodies are different and will react to treatments in diffferent ways. Do research and then do some more , as I had symptoms for years before I was diagnosed.
Wish all well and KEEP YOUR HEAD UP !!!!!
We need you back in LA Larry. Loved your dad's game too. Watch him win one ofnthe very first NBA Dunk Contest.
Not debilitating? Please take into consideration that there is not just ONE Crohn's Disease and everyone's course is the same. Everybody has a different case ranging from mild, moderate, to severe. But to say in the least that it is not debilitating?? Please tell that to the patient with a NG tube down their throat in order to receive nutrients to survive. Or to the patient who is so anemic, needing blood transfusions, so weak and fatigued they can't get out of bed? To the patient who has needed surgery after surgery, to only have been given the news there is nothing else they can do for them? It's great that you have achieved remission and can live a relatively normal life, but just take into consideration those that are not in remission before degrading other people's suffering.
Julia Sanchez
Everyone different. I have suffered for 30 and it can be debilitating for me but I find his story inspiring that he can still play in the NBA with CD. More power to him.
Julia Sanchez well said
Agreed... how many stories are there of people who have to go through really inhuman surgeries, recovering only to work a 40 hour work week and try to cling to a normal life. It's extremely debilitating, it just won't kill you is an accurate statement. It leaves some just alive enough just to have to tend to an ostomy bag all day or eat out of a tube or liquid diet for months. Having a career or social life in between doctors visits, surgeries, taking 2 or 3 months off to let your gut heal has long-term social and financial effects. Also, being a man Nance doesn't ever have to worry about a fistula burrowing out of his intestines and into his vagina. He sugar coated Crohn's like everyone does. Google Perianal abscess. Google side effects of long term steroid use. Nance did everyone with Crohn's a huge disservice by saying it's not debilitating when the truth is that it is wildly different for everyone and he's worked hard to get his under control.
William Gilbert not only that he has the financial stability to really get a handle on his CD! He can afford a chef or someone prepare his meals to perfection. He doesn’t have to clock into a 9-5 and worry about being near a restroom all day and dealing with pain and having to take off work 2-3 months without getting paid or running out of sick time, etc...he has the time and means for it not to be an issue if he does go into a flare up he won’t miss a beat! Lucky him but for us regular ppl in the world with UC and CROHNS it’s just not that simple bro!!
Excellent video. Loved the thought “have the condition work around YOUR schedule don’t bow down to it”
Thanks so much for sharing Larry Nance's story. My son was diagnosed with Crohn's when he was 10. He is a hockey player and loved watching this. Thanks for the inspiration, and glad he is doing so well!

@@mohsogreat9357 You can be lucky to be treated in Egypt
@@MohamedBinAboAlYazid Fr lmk know how what herds ! Lol
larry nance you’re my hero
They only make stories from very successful and easily managed cases, what about showing someone who went through hell but is now in remission - that is real motivator for others.
I have UC and I was hospitalized before our first playoff game in high school and have been hospitalized several times since. It is extremely debilitating, u cannot eat what normal people eat, u have less energy, u can get severely dehydrated and lose tons of blood. In some cases intestines will have to be removed. These diseases cannot be “molded” around a schedule, when u have a flair up you are at the mercy of ur stomach. I’m sure he meant well but this wasn’t the right message to me.
Stay strong bro
Yeah it can be pretty mild
I agree it only gets worse I was 14 when I got diagnosed, now in my 20,30 yeah I thought the same but I had so many surgeries I stopped counting .now I'm 51 and lost part of my intestines, had a stoma for five years plus I have three Seton drains in my colon so great story he may think he means well but truth is it can effect every organ , bone in your body I get remicade every 6 weeks just like any other med after a while it stops doing its job , and it doesn't stop all symptoms just lowers our immune system. ...that's the ugly truth Crohn's don't go away mine took me out at 38 no energy, stomach flipping, not to mention over five craps that morning that's on remicade.
UC isn't Crohns.
@@turgonnaish They're very similar. They're both autoimmune diseases that affect the digestive tract. Difference is that UC is isolated to the colon whereas Crohn's can affect any part of the digestive tract.
Lots of overlap in symptoms. Even the treatment options are the same for both diseases.
Awesome, man. Pro cage fighter to bedridden here due to colitis. Keep inspiring.
I feel you brother, be well. Wish you the best ❤️
the disease is on a spectrum from. mild to severe, everyone is different. Let's not forget he gets premium medical care at Cedars, $$ you get the best care.
Unfortunately I have the worst care! I missed so many infusions due to their negligence and carelessness
I was cured of this disease with herbs
@@MohamedBinAboAlYazid what herbs?
@@MohamedBinAboAlYazid please share what herbs ? Shukran🙏🏼
@@ericreyna3060 Crohn's problem is blood. I treated him with blood. I took herbs from Egypt. I bought it. It was called a solvent for cholesterol and a solvent for liver fat. I am cured of Crohn's disease. This simply means that neither the colon nor the immune system is the actual problem. The whole story is blood and arteries, because it is the food of the body, without which it will not recover from any disease...
I have crowns disease and to hear other perspectives is awesome
Can this drug help you go into remission! Are there side effects? Also a follow up interview would be nice!
For alot of ppl shooting down this message remember he is having a transfusion monthly..ive heard of it before and it seems to help alot of ppl..idk the exact info but alot of u should look into it
I have a transfusion monthly as well though
I have had sever alergic reactions to some of the biologics, others just didn‘t work. I am stuck with azathioprine. I am 26 years old, female and had already 7 (big) surgeries and almost died couple of times. I wish it would work for all of us, sadly for some they don‘t work and for others they are way out of financial pissibility.
i'm currently getting transfusions monthly and taking prednisone. The prednisone is very helpful and the transfusions are the kicker. I'm also dealing with an abscess so my 4 procedures were mainly drains and 1 surgery so far.
I’m currently on humira for my UC and it’s really helped me a lot, I didn’t respond well to other meds but humira works and is keeping my UC at bay 👌🏻 I got diagnosed in October 2020. It’s a terrible disease 👎🏻
Tank you.
I have it to and I’m 16 diagnosed when I was 14
What is the infusion called is what I didn't hear
But for my UC I'm thinking about Entyvio this is also an infusion that targets the white blood in the stomach only
Hope this works for me
How can he say that I've been in and out of hospital for over a year now I'm now on bed rest as it's so far gone now my chrons
I feel bad for the once who have /had this ..
Seeing myself without hives or hsv2 now I’m really grateful and excited thank you Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home
I'm at a loss at this point, I've had crohn's for 5 years now I lost all muscle and fat I had built up since I was a gym rat. I've been hospitalized 6 times now and theres no light at the end of the tunnel.
My doctors have never prescribed me any medication for crohns, the pain is constant and EXTREME torture every day of my life, I cant sleep because I have to constantly get up to shit my brains out 5 times a night but it's only ever diarrhea.
I cant sit for more than 2 hours without my back aching forcing me to lay down because lack of muscle or strength because I lost 50 pounds and now I'm 6,2 120lbs, my ass hurts when I sit in a car or chair for more than 30 mins.
I eat like a fucking horse sometimes upwards of 4K calories a day but cannot get past 120lbs no matter how much I eat and workout.
My doctor tried to get me on infusions but my insurance denied it several times, my GI was livid and couldnt believe my extreme case was denied atleast 3 times.
Fast forward I haven't been able to work for years I'm broke with no money and no insurance, I'm tired of every waking moment being tortured with pain, discomfort, lack of energy, and most of all shitty quality of life, I cant fish anymore, i cant workout or train MMA anymore, I CANT EVEN HAVE A FUCKING LIFE AT THIS POINT.
I'm just short of suicide and I'm at the point where I rather just not exist anymore, I hate myself, I have no money and cant work, I cant perform any of my hobbies because I'm weak and broke, my dog is my only light and I'm crying just thinking about leaving him hes like my child I love him more than anything but my parents will take care of him.
If you are going through crohns FIGHT BACK, i failed in my mission to fight back unfortunately but do not let yourself become like me DONT GIVE UP.
I am also struggling with weight issue, I've lost 20 pounds over 7 months and still going. Luckily I have no problem with bowel movement, stool is normal maybe because I am strict with SCD diet. I don't know how long it is going to be, I still have my job at the moment but not sure if I can keep it in a long run. Iam preparing the worst scenario now. This disease really sucks.
I definitely feel your pain. I was on infusions but I’ve missed 5 appointments now due to no insurance and now I’m having a horrible flair up. I’ve started looking into other countries that have universal health care.
Something in your diet is triggering autoimmune cells, Try fasting or protein fasting some days a week and a whole food plant diet when not fasting away from gluten and yeast. Fasting , low protein causes autophagy in cells the plant diet stops relapse after a fast. When the autoimmune cells are gone you can be less restricted
@@ttt72772 I'm not nor will I ever fast that's a horrible suggestion and will lead to more malnutrition and issues. I'm also not going on a plant only bullshit diet I will CERTAINLY become malnourished. Meat & fat are the more dense sources of nutrients and I still cant gain weight I'm not doing anything that puts less calories in my body.
maybe try dr sebi diet, try some herbs he recomends ... he helped patients with aids etc...
Unfortunately everyone is different when it comes to symptoms and flare ups
I was diagnosed with it 17 years ago at the age of 9 haven't had a flare up until recently. I normally would only shit once a week but lately I've been going after every meal and I just keep farting 😂
What medicines did you take initially ?
Glad to hear the treatments work for him!
… sure don’t for me.
Ask the patients. !!
If you don't have money your health insurance will come with random reason why you don't need it. That's the poor life.
To hear "Chrons is not a disease that is debilitating" from someone who supposedly has chrons makes you wonder if they ever really had chrons at all. That's great that you've been symptom free for 8 years while taking biologics, but look around at all the people suffering from unstoppable flares, needing blood infusions from severe anemia, tired to the point they can't get out of bed anymore. The people who are on the toilet with bloody diahrea for half of their day. The people with weight left to lose with a feeding tube down their throat to give them nutrients. Saying that in a hospital full of children sick with this disease is rude and disrespectful.
Boomafoo: not to forget the one that suffer from associated pathologies such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Amyloidosis or behcet ... and some are lucky at the lottery and win it all
I agree with you, I have had 5 operations all in within a year, I have an ostomy bag and must go for another to have 3 foot of my large intestine removed. He has some cheek to say that..
I disagree with you completely. I've had an Iron infusion once after a routine blood test which showed that if I did not take the infusion immediately, I would need a blood transfusion. Yes I felt tired and my back kinda hurt i guess... but to hear the words that they find it suprising that I am even at work and walking with the low blood count levels etc shows my mindset at the time. Crohn's disease is not going to defeat me. Infact, I am going to do even more overtime and be more active than I would have been and better myself just to show Crohns disease has not defeated me. That's the basketballs players mindset too. Most of the time I feel perfectly healthy. Yes I have 3-4 month flare ups at times. Had Crohns for 6 years and maybe 5 flare ups.... but I never let it defeat me. Also I don't understand people who are embarrassed to talk about it. Embarrassed of what? You can be perfectly healthy and still get this disease unlike diabetes and STDs. Those disease are more embarrassing. People who ridicule you should not be friends with in the first place. For me Crohn's is not debilitating but liberating. It has put things into perspective for me and as a result I have improved myself than what I was like before in so many ways. Then again... maybe it's just that I'm lucky and that the medication I take hits the spot which makes it easy for me to have a positive mindset about it all. Who knows.
I absolutely agree with you. I'm on my second biologic after Humira failed after 2.5 years if being on it. I'm also on mesalamine and my Crohn's is STILL not under control. He makes it seem like having Crohn's is no big deal, that may be so for him, but for thousands of others, we continue to suffer.
@@tarnjeetjohal4219
Every person is different, l have had this condition for over 14 years and it has been si difficult and painful..
Thanks to vaccines for all this hell we go through.
Our unvaccinated grandparents lived till almost a hundred without any medications surgeries and hospitalizations.
Also, SAD food is created to destroy you.
Very true. Crohns is primarily occurring in 1st world countries with highly processed diets and has increased steadily in recent decades. It is insane to me that doctors think food has nothing to do with IBD- food touches your digestive tract 3+ times a day and they really think food has no effect. Insanity.
I have crohns, I believe it’s caused by an overstimulated nervous system. A lot of people I’ve talked to who have or know people with it say they are very stressed and anxious people, me included. Constantly in fight, flight or freeze mode from past trauma or other stressful events along with the way we live in society is the main contributor in my opinion. I’ve been on stelara for almost a year and it’s kept my symptoms down but still flaring with persistent diareah. Up until now the only thing that put me into remission was steroids (budesonide) but that was before the stelara and we all know we can’t stay on steroids. 2 weeks ago I believe I put myself into remission by trying acupuncture for the first time. Since day 1 of acupuncture no more diareah, now it’s once a day normal poo. I’ve gone to acupuncture twice now in the last 2 weeks and it’s worked wonders. If you’re open minded try it! I was skeptical but couldn’t believe the results, if you have any questions let me know!!
Such a goofy take 🤦🏻♀️ 60% of people with Crohn’s have an immediate family member with it, what do you know, my grandma had it, then my aunt, then me, then my little sister… not to mention she died at 65 from Crohn’s complications despite growing her own food 🤔 almost like your point has nothing to do with getting Crohn’s
the reporter wish dhe could call him her mans
Ummm you are sending a terrible message!! Clearly yours is mild. However, many people have it severely! It’s not debilitating? Tell that to my 17 year old daughter who is 93 pounds, couldn’t dance this year, and is still trying to recover from her bowel resection in January!! Wow!! SMH 🤦🏻♀️
3qtz i’m going through the same thing at 17 was 165 lbs down to 135 now I was diagnosed back in october and remicade infusions haven’t been working too well he does have a very mild case yes
I pray God be with her and help her everyday I've had it for over 17 years it's awful
This guy is on biological therapy, I am on that therapy too, that is not just infusion, that is cytostatic and only thing that can make something like healing! He is taking that for 8 years, that is a lot! One day when you are in remission they stop giving you medicine, and that should be2-4 years, not this much. So this guy is obviously sick. This is an expensive drug, but when the disease is at its last stage, you can take that over medical insurance for FREE! I live in Serbia where my annual salary can not cover one therapy and I am receiving it every 8 weeks, graduation of disease is high so I am taking therapy for free! No one normal will not take more then they can, that is made for bowl cancer, not for playing. So please, be normal and nice, don’t make full of him or speak about money or giving some stupid argument when you are not in to it...
Stelara. Noice
What's in the drip
From the sounds of things, remicade. Its a pretty common infusion medication for crohns and ulcerative colitis
Remicade probably
And once again his chron's disease was flaring up again. He lost 20 lbs in a week
In a UC flare up now.... I've lost 44 lbs in 5 weeks....
