I've been diagnosed with crohns in my small bowel

Now you know what you have it is a starting point.  They usually try different tablets to get your crohns in remission - dont panic if the first couple do not work for you.  They will Im sure find one that suits you  Crohns is a very individual disease and you will learn to deal with each issue as it hits you.  I wanted to know as much as I could about the disease - if your like that then have a read up on it.  Whilst doing this you will also come across the things you have read about during your journey to find a medication that works for you.  Good luck and ask lots of questions that will ease your mind take care xxx 

Hi Kerry,

      I've had Crohn's for 52 years since 14 and yes it Crohn's cannot be cured.It has only been in my small bowel and no where else. I know when I have flares I go off food and stay on liquids after a calming down I start with the white of the egg for protein, mashed potatoes anything very soft. It's not easy with children but if husband and family can help that's a big  plus. Crohn's will be there for the rest of your life but with medication it can be maintained and go in remission. Keep your chin up and good luck.
