A co-worker of mine also had the same. The thing is, she worked HARDER than everyone and never took a sick day!! Maybe you have an edge; the disease comes with a natural force to wanna…kick butt!!!!

Hey…best wishes to you. My ex-boyfriend developed crohns in college. We were both on track scholarships, but I watched him deteriorate to nearly nothing while he dealt with the disease. They were finally able to control it and he not only became an All-American in college, but he went on to compete at both the World Championships & Olympic Games for Canada. He said after the pain he went thru with Crohn’s, workouts & training were "easy as pie".
Stay strong & stay positive!

Best wishes to you! Sorry to hear about the Crohn’s. I suffer from IBS at times and take acidophilus (sp?) every day and it really helps as well as aiming to drink a gallon of water a day. Again, best wishes and keep me posted. Add me to your myspace okay? I’ll send you a request.

Way to go! You ARE Bigger than anything that happens to you in life. Just know you can do anything you put your mind to!

I think that it is great you are pushing past this illness and not letting it beat you, you have to take charge and it looks like you are. Don’t get discouraged and continue to work hard and you will always get what you want!

I am so sorry to hear about your news…. but you have an awesome attitude about it and that is what counts the most…
I admire your determination to not let it stop you.
My best to you.

Educate yourself about Crohn’s and keeping fighting for a healthier you! You can do this! Take small progressive steps, listen to your body, and yes, drink plenty of water this will help. You have my support and prayers.

My mom has chron’s too. I know it’s a bummer. All you can do is continue to work through it. Even if it sucks to deal with it, it’s better than what will become of you if you don’t take care of yourself.
Proud of your decision to fight to stay healthy!

With crohn’s you’re not supposed to eat alot of fiber. My lil bro has it, but he can’t put weight on. You want to eat things that won’t rush right through you, so limit the fiber. I’ll have to look it up again,but I believe you should be taking selenium and calcium which should help alot. don’t go to the medical doctor! They just want your money. Think positive and don’t stress, that won’t help you beat this.
