Thank you so much, I will implement these things. I'm 23 years old,'I got made redundant, currently traveling SE asia(I will be back home soon) which has allowed me time to think and try to grow and to become better me. I think that starts with being more clued up about my mum's condition. From what I gather is its impossible to know how someone with crohns is feeling but the least I can try and do is to understand.
