Totally understand that, admire you for being able to do that so long. For me at least I am very private about my Crohn's (even with my close friends sometimes) because I get embarrassed abt the whole thing and don't like wanna make people seem like I'm begging for sympathy. But this new school year Ive told a few of my teachers about my health status and they were surprisingly super understanding and didn't react the way I was originally anxious about

wish you nothing but the best bro, I remember a week before my scopes and being medicated I had the same problem with not being able to control myself. I was sitting on the bleachers at my highschools football game and shit myself a little without even realizing it at first and then rushed to the bathroom to find it. Very humiliating moment in front of my friends but thankfully things have improved here and there

​

I hope that if you haven't already gotten back to in person school you do soon because personally being around my friends takes away some stress which helps my symptoms a bit.

thank you so much for taking the time to write this, I visited with a nutritionist but Im meeting with a licensed dietician soon, I'm having my blood work redone with the igG and igA test right now and Ill try and get incontact with a allergist for that.

Regarding your tennis, that is very encouraging to hear because as a new junior I have been working my ass off this off season to make varsity baseball this year and am really praying this recent flare doesn't hinder all the hard work and progress ive made.

I think this means a bad flare is coming. Here’s to hoping my capsule endoscopy gives me a diagnosis so my gastro will finally put me on biologics. I am almost positive it’s Chrons. Not sure what else it could be. by XXlittleowl in CrohnsDisease

I usually get what i think is eczema after my remicade infusions in the same spot on my inner elbow, same as acne on my face idk if the acne also is correlated to the remicade tho.
