[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 496228, member: 1233"] Crohn's is an autoimmune disorder and can be very difficult. there are medications that help, and controlling your diet is HUGE to controlling it, far as I have seen. I have IBS and the gut doctor thinks that it may end up as Crohn's but isn't there yet. There are months when I HATE the bathroom and all that happens there. Matt NEEDS to start keeping track of every single thing that goes into his mouth. Food, liquid, medications, tobacco, pot, ALL of it. What it is, when, how much, even what temperature it is. Then he can start to figure out his triggers. The friend I have found that the more processed it was, the more her body loathed it. NOT a lot of fun hwne you are 16-18 and going out for lunch every day, Know what I mean?? Fatty/fried foods will be some of the hardest. There are recommended diets that can help. He also NEEDS to be scoped and to be tested for celiac disease and food allergies/sensitivities. It can be managed, and medications to suppress immune function may be needed at some time. The mouth diary (would call it food, but it needs more than just that) will be a huge help in finding his triggers. He should check out a crohn's diet and I thnk there is a support group online for people with crohn's. He will get a lot of help there too. Part of living with a chronic condition is learning to make informed choices. Is having this candy bar/hamburger/funnel cake worth the cramps/bloating/whatever that will happen? If yes, eat the item. If no? Don't eat it. Only he can make these choices, which hoovers for us moms because we hate to see them miserable. [/QUOTE]
