Hey Kelly please don't feel like your experience is invalid. If you have crohns then you have it, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing what you can to feel most comfortable. I wish you luck! đ

Like some of the other comments have said, your issues are NOT invalid because you donât have as severe of Crohnâs as maybe someone else. Crohnâs is at itâs core an invisible illness, and I think anyone with Crohnâs, severe or not, would not wish it upon anyone. We all understand.

Hey Kelly. I know how that feels. Iâm starting to experience more of a flare up because I had to stop taking one of my medications. Donât feel ashamed about needing to take that bag. Whatever you can do to make things easier for yourself is good. And youâre thinking ahead and trying to help yourself out. Crohnâs symptoms can get better. Sometimes itâs really bad and other times the symptoms can go into remission. Hang in there, youâll be in a better place with it again I promise. You are strong and you are valid!
Hey Kelly, I can relate to your story. My crohn's forces me to always be ready for things to get worse.

No experience is invalid. Itâs tough when we have to prepare for not feeling well in our day to day. I understand.
