Many times I get asked if I’ve actually had it bad with Crohn’s disease.  The main reason why I believe I’m asked that is because I like to keep a positive attitude and not dwell on a lot the negatives that I’ve been put through during my journey with IBD.  The reality is that even […]

2nd Hospital Visit of the Year ~ Partial Blockage/Precautionary Action

Many times we can see when our Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis is going to flare. We can feel something slowly changing and know that something is brewing in our body. Sometimes though that isn’t the case and our IBD can cause us problems before we have a chance to blink. This is what happened […]

Cannabis For Crohn’s & Colitis (Documentary Video Include)

The use of marijuana for Inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions is a tricky one to talk about. It’s a topic that is controversial in many ways. People have good points on each side of the argument. The topic of cannabis for medical use is not going away and I wanted to do more research […]
