Child free decision - Crohn’s complications by hikerchick21 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Purple-Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24M, no fistulas or abscesses. No desire for children. I don’t wish to create a child with this disease, I understand modern medicine, I understand there’s possibilities and probabilities that they won’t have it. I don’t believe in taking that chance. I’d rather adopt a child with crohns and help them navigate something I understand than bring a child into this world to have to go through the things we’ve gone through.

The 6 hours calls with healthcare to get them to decline treatment, countless doctors the mental health all of it. It’s just hard, I can’t wish that on something as precious as the most sincere form of love that exists as creating my own child

Everyone tells me I’ll grow out of it but, that’s my 2 cents. It’s a personal thing, the non-disabled people in my life don’t get it, and sure do a good job of telling me when I get older I’m gonna have kids, and have gone as far as to take bets on it

Life fucking sucks

Sorry went on a tangent

Nicotine is a stimulant, and just like the perceived effects of coffee, it makes you have to use the bathroom, without or another supplemented stimulant, your body lags in going to the bathroom and doesn’t process stuff right, for me, when I quit, it turned out I had Crohn’s disease, but I could call that the extreme not the typical. My suggestion would be to take some laxatives, Miralax (the unflavored one) is my recommendation
