[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 305563, member: 1550"] My brother is 52 and had severe childhood Crohn's althought it was undiagnosed until he almost died (we've come a long way in diagnostics...the doctors had no idea what was wrong with him when he was young and so terribly sick). He is on a lot of medications for t he Crohn's now and had been an actuary for years. Stress did kick up his Crohn's (he had multiple surgeries). He finally quit the actuary job so that he didn't have to work as many hours and now he's a teacher, which he loves and he gets a lot more time off. He was hoping this would reduce flareups, although he has never really gone into total remission. He thinks that working less and doing something he loves has helped a little so, based on living with my brother for all these years, I would certainly think stress can be a factor in kicking up Crohn's. However, he has also had some flareups when things were relatively smooth. I feel for your little guy as I saw first hand what Crohns can be like. Big hugs to your little guy and hope he feels better soon. [/QUOTE]
