crohns flare

Hi everyone. I’m new here. I’ve been battling a really challenging flare recently. I’m 25 years old and I was diagnosed with Crohns when I was 7 years old. I have been really lucky growing up, going through very few flares until I turned 20. Ever since then I have had at least one flare every year, constantly needing IV fluids& meds, constant body aches and fatigue. I know my nutrition intake hasn’t helped but the thought alone of most foods, and now all meats, makes me nauseous. When I do work up the courage to eat any meat, it comes up within an hour. I also have to stay away from beans and seeds, they tend to upset my stomach too. Please offer any suggestions you may have for meals that will help me get through. Sometimes having no one around who understands makes me feel crazy or like an “annoying picky eater”. Feeling so overwhelmed these days. #CrohnsDisease #CrohnsFlare #FoodRestrictions

Hi I'm going to rant because life is rough. I'm a 24F master's student trying desparately to complete a placement but failing miserably.

I've missed 9 days of placement because of Crohn's issues. I've lost 15lbs since new years. I sleep for 12hrs at a time and spend most of my day in bed. My GI abandoned me randomly and his nurse keeps apologizing but she said he's really busy 'elsewhere in the hospital' whatever that means, so my family doctor is desparately trying to do something for me. Anyway, went under a scan today looking for an intestinal blockage or something and I won't know until tomorrow and URGH 😖

Hi, so this is kind of embarrassing, I've only been diagnosed for 2 months and I'm still fairly new to it all,haven't really spoken to anyone from ibd team. I was in hospital for 2 weeks with a flare and obstruction (which was sorted) I was discharged but am still having bloody diarrhea however the pain is very much bearable with buscapan which they have prescribed (telling me to avoid pain meds if possible to avoid constipation).im also on a low fiber https://diet.How long does this last for roughly, is there anything I can do to stop it?

I'm sick of always feeling like I'm the negative person and taking positivity away from people when I'm honest about how I'm feeling.
I was lucky and was diagnosed early with Crohn's Disease so my damage is less and my condition is milder than most. It makes me feel like I don't have the right to complain when I'm finding things difficult...but I am right now.
I had a sinus infection and after running a fever (twice) I caved and had the covid test (ouch!) so I could see a GP and get it treated. He gave me antibiotics that worked really well...but made me really sick so I stopped after one course.
Unfortunately it sent me into a Crohn's flare
I'm lucky that currently I can work from home but it left me too sick to even work from home.
I hear about other people's Crohn's flares and know how sick it makes them. Me, well everything goes through me and it makes so nauseous I honestly think throwing up might help me feel better, but my body just won't.
I feel lonely because I can't talk about it, alone since I don't leave the house, just plain depressed since I keep feeling awful and like I'm letting everyone down because I'm currently not able to support them personally/professionally.

I first got sick in 1992 when my first born was 10 months old. I thought I was dying, literally. Rapid weight loss, malnutrition, dehydration, pain. Severe colon pain, and living in the bathroom. over the years I've been up to 44 pills a day. That was 20 years ago. I quit all of it. immune suppressants included.
all these years later I only treat my crohn's with medical marijuana (legal here) and prendisone when I flair up, like right now.
the only pharmaceutical drugs I take are for my depression, anxiety, p.t.s.d....
thanks to crohn's.
So what helps you? my crohn's is only in my colon. I've refused surgeries. Doctors dont like me.
