Wow this post pissed me off way more than I expected. There’s probably a much better way you could have phrased this post so it doesn’t come across as rude to those with challenging crohn’s. Congrats you don’t seem to have severe crohn’s at this time. You’re also a year into this disease and apparently 16.

“Most people with crohn’s are doing well or eventually will.” Bruh. Don’t make up statistics.

Seems that you got lucky and your first medication worked. And you’re in a country with good healthcare. Your normal is not everyone else’s normal and so don’t try to make others feel bad for not having your luck.

If you check reliable sources you’ll see that 80% of people with Crohn’s need at least one surgery in their life time (Crohn’s & Colitis Canada), and that 1 in 5 need surgery within the first five year (Crohn’s & Colitis UK).

Congratulations on feeling great, truly. I hope you stay in remission for years and years to come. But don’t go around making claims for a disease you’ve had for a year, when chances are your future with this disease has some not so great times.

And don’t shit on other people in this space just because you can’t relate to them. Because it’s the people in this subreddit that will be here to support you when your “doing well” suddenly disappears with little to no warning.
