    I am a 59 year old man and found out I had Crohns back in 1981 [ 4ft of intestine removed ] and when I told people I had Crohns back then nobody knew what it was , sadly I tell people now and everybody knows somebody who has it . . Oh funny as I have gotten older I have found foods that I couldn't eat in the first 10 years as I have gotten older I can tolerate them but I don't smoke drink and no raw veggies or brown breads . Oh I do now have osteoporosis so watch for that as you get older . Best of luck to all of those with Crohns and I am glad there are so many better treatments now and people telling their stories .

    Thank you, Chase. This helped me learn a bit more about Crohn's and as a medical student, it's really helpful to listen to people's experiences with their illnesses rather than just read from a book. God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful and pain-free life!

      @@RanjitSingh-rw8kv Hey Ranjit! My biggest advice is to listen to your body (easier said than done, I know)! Make sure you get lots of sleep, have a clean/healthy diet, drink lots of water, and take it easy on yourself. Stress affects Crohns so much! Take care :)

    This really helped. I’m 26 years old. I am also lactose intolerant & I was diagnosed March 30 of this year with Crohn’s. I was kinda like you and just thought it was because of me being lactose intolerant. I went to the doctor because not only was i going more frequently but it was a lot of blood, dark red and light. Then i ended up getting a skin tag. I thought it was a fissure but i went to the doctor and they told me it was a hemorrhoid. (She ended up misdiagnosing me) so she referred me to a colorectal surgeon to get it removed. He looked at it and knew right away it was a fissure. He started asking a few questions about my family history. And wanted me to see a gastroenterologist. Due to where it was positioned and Crohn’s ran through my family. I had the same symptoms as you up until I went into the emergency room & got a bunch of tests ran. A CAT scan showed my stomach was super inflamed & I was severely dehydrated as well so they admitted me for a week in the hospital. I didn’t eat for 48 hours because they were suppose to do a colonoscopy but my gastroenterologist didn’t want to since I was so inflamed. Then I was on a full liquid diet. Which I fell you it was horrible. Then one of my nurses wanted to see about getting me some regular food. I’m out of the hospital & have been for some time. My gastroenterologist wants to put me on humira as well but I have doubts about it as well as my family. I’m scared to start taking something that isn’t going to work. I’m struggling with this already because I’ve been out since March and I’m already back in bed missing work and my anxiety is super high trying to cope with everything. Your video has helped me understand this more so I appreciate people like you! I’m going to see my doctor on Monday so hopefully we can talk about different alternatives like you did with your doctor. Thanks for the helpful information!

    I have crohn's since 2013. Ive had extreme abdominal pains, diarrhea, ulcers, intense bleeding, severe weight loss, and im always exhausted, nauseaus and vomiting. im taking meds now like azathioprine. i havent opted on steroids yet but i stay away from a lot of types of foods. dairy, spicy, greasy, mayonnaise. i dont drink alcohol nor smoke (never did anyway). i can cope with the right foods to eat but what i hate about it the most is the weight loss and exhaustion. whats confusing about this disease is that treatment (not cure) differs from a person to another so find what best lifestyle fits you. just sharing. hope you're in remission right now.

The extreme fatigue is hard to live with since I was so active and outgoing before my symptoms really sunk it's jaws into me. I've been doing the prednisone dance on and off for a year now. The remicade chapter is next for me. Has it given you your energy back, or the feeling of less fatigue?? Thanks so much for your brave and encouraging video. Best wishes to you.. Your friend Jeffrey

    hey chase!! i’m currently in the hospital admitted, i’ve went through 3 different ultrasounds x-rays and mri & cat scan for unbearable pain they finally came to the end that i have a high chance of crohns which sucks since i’m only 14 and honestly don’t know how to cope with this.. but i’m doing the capsule study and by monday i should have results if i do or don’t. these past couple days it’s been hard specially cause of my anxiety. i’ve been on a liquid diet for now 5 days and it’s killing me and totally scared for the results but watching your video totally calmed me down and i just wanted to say thank you for talking about this

  • @thomasdileo9492

    I understand everything you just said. I actually have lived with this condition for 27 years, Been threw the mill and back Had 3 feet of intestines removed. I took humira -Remicade which helped at times. The body will build antibodies to this and then they want to put you on something else. Years have past and I started to become my own doctor understanding what works and what doesnt over the course of many years. Ive been on 5-10 mg of prednisone every day which is a light dose. Always have to take Bachtram (Sulfameth/Trimethorprim every 3 days to keep the steriod at bay. This seems to have helped me stay in remission. Having the runs is common and with IBS or Crohns its always common but to tone it down is a good thing. Also what I notice with people with Crohns is we tend to worry much and stress over certain things. My cousin also has this a well as couple friends. We all mite think its food related or food allergies...etc.
    My opinion its all in the mind. I think what would help certain Crohns patients out is they have to learn not to worry and stress bout things. They have to learn to let things go and not even be bothered by anything. 95 % of what we all stress bout turn out to be ok if we take care of the situations and work at it. Also being around positive energy as well as people is another factor. Being around an environment were your judged or if its a stress -pressure related area mite not help. People shouldnt stress about being married or when that day is gona come or when there gona have kids.- Or even purchasing a home one day.. Things like this I notice many Crohns people worry much. But what Ive learned is to not worry period. Worry in a responsible way but not dwell on things. It takes time to train the mind to adjust to these tactics. Its worth it. Trust me. But it takes time and some hospital visits untill the crohns becomes controllable.
    Also even days were I mite feel a flare coming I tone down my diet. No candy nothing heavy. Ill even eat or drink jellow and soup for couple days just to help ease that flare or healing process. I learned this after many years of the making trips to the ER or end up in hospital for 7to10 days. After so many years dealing with the disease you can gauge what is appropriate and what is not. People have to get the stress part down and just let certain things go. Honestly This is where these flares come from those stressful past moments or current moments. ENjoy life and learn to be stress free. Its all mindset.
    Great video thanks for posting I hope your feeling better and things are working out for you.

    Hi Chase,
    Thanks for uploading this video. I appreciate seeing that it's not the end of the world getting this disease. I'm soon to be scheduled for a colonoscopy due to blood in stool. I'm literally scared of the colonoscopy as well as I'm scared of being diagnosed with UC or Crohns. I don't have fever, no weight loss, occasional fatigue, occasional stomach pain. All blood tests doctor took came back normal, but he want to test me still with the colonoscopy. It's all sorts of thoughts running around in my head now (what If I have cancer, what if it's UC, what if it's crohns) etc.. Do you have any tips on how to cope with this and not drive my self nuts?

    • @jaucequestra1919
      @jaucequestra1919 5 років тому

      I had my first colonoscopy last June which actually diagnosed my Crohns. The worst part about the whole procedure is the 24 hours before because you have to diet. The procedure went really well for me. They put me under and I basically just took the best nap ever and the doctors woke me up and were like boom, crohns disease. It's not as scary as it sounds. Believe me, I was terrified beforehand. You got this!

Sounds almost too good to be true, but it's interesting..

      Hi Joseph, I'm Elisa. Your experience is exactly like what I experienced. I suffered from diarrhea due to amoeba infection about 9 months ago and it was diagnosed as infectious colitis. but now I feel cramps in my lower stomach and severe constipation. I don't have bloody stools even though I also have hemorrhoids. The internist estimated that I had Crohn's. but I haven't had any other supporting examinations because my doctor is on leave until the beginning of the year. How do you deal with this constipation?

    I may be in the early stages of Crohn’s diagnosis… no official diagnosis from my Gastroenterologist yet... I really don’t have a whole lot of stomach pain only than it’s mild cramping and then I know that I need to go use the restroom… In the past this is never been an issue but within the last four months I have dropped 20lbs... I am can only eating soft food like soups... I had an upper G.I. scope which showed mild inflammation through the stomach and into the duodenum.. and the report stated similar to patients who have Crohn’s disease... I am constantly having to use the restroom multiple times a day (very Embarrassing) this has never been a problem up until four months ago... prior to this, I did have the random problems with diarrhea and I thought was upset stomach after eating something and I just chalked it up to something I ate ...not to crohns... my gastroenterologist did prescribe a PPI which seems like it does not help with any of my Symptoms... I do have a mouth ulcersWhich my Dentist picked up on two months ago... my follow up is next month with my gastroenterologist to discuss any improvement... what’s your thoughts… I’m a 55-year-old man very frustrated with all these symptoms… It seems like you’ve been living with this a lot longer than I have… Am I going in the right path

    Chase I hope you are doing well I am sixty and have had Crohns since I was in my twenty's you have to manage it. you need to get over the needles I had to do eleven blood draws last year twenty six Humira injections and three mis shots. you are going to have to suck it up butter cup you can do it. I have also had to have two feet of my intestines removed it comes with the disease. between me and you and anybody else that will take the time to read this I used to control my Crohns in the seventy's and eighty's with cannabis look into it. back In those days they did not have the meds they have to day and the cannabis would ease the pain and the inflammation. be good be sweet be strong and carry on.

    My doctor is 90% sure I have crohns. I’m just waiting on the confirmation from my biopsies. But I’m going through it bad at the moment. Agonising pain, my hairs falling out in clumps, I’m extremely pale and so tired.
    I’m not coping well at all at the moment.
    But this video as helped, because it makes me feel less alone if that makes sense.

      Leanne Vitamins A, E, D and B12 are difficult to absorb with Crohns and hair loss is one of the symptoms. Vit K helps with Vit D absorption. If you don’t tolerate fresh fruits and vegetables then vit C will help. Good luck fellow Crohns warrior.
