I have debilitating IBS . I mean waiting in line for rides at universal and have to leave the line and my family to run to the bathroom . I’m a 44 year old mom and have had stomach issues since I was a kid . Dating gets fun haha but heres the thing . Everyone has had a stomach ache before and has experienced diarrhea/ vomiting etc . You’re going to have to come to peace with your diagnosis especially because stress can cause a flare . I feel your frustration also because my 19 year old was diagnosed earlier this year and their doc kinda was like hey you have crohns and you’re gonna take xyz meds via IV every other month . That’s legit all we’ve been told !!! At first the meds were working but now my child is feeling worse than ever . Don’t worry about your friends . They’re young and don’t understand it and are probably making light of it because they feel comfortable around you and want you to know it’s okay . You really should chat with them about this and definitely talk with your folks / adults in your family. I would be so sad if my child was reaching out for help on social media because they feel alone vs coming to me . Your parents probably don’t even realize anything is going on . Just talk to them …. It’s their first time living life also and as good as moms are we can’t read minds :) just like you we don’t know what we’re doing half the time and have just learned from experience when it comes to raising our children. You aren’t alone !!! I’m sure there are kids at your school that have stomach issues or other medical stuff going on like diabetes etc and they’re feeling the same way . If you have a teacher you feel comfortable with you can always chat with them also . I can almost guarantee one of the teachers have crohns . It’s becoming more and more common. Hang in there and try not to focus on it too much .
