For anyone with an IBD like myself. I’d highly recommended joining the crohns and colitis charity - you get a card which helps you explain York condition when you need to go in shops etc and a radar key to access public disabled toilets when required. Both very useful!

The joint pain, the low energy that makes the most trivial tasks feel like a big deal, and the low mood. UC is like a never-ending battle, until it gets worse of course.

In recent years, this is something which has worsened for me. I'm 30 yo, been living with colitis since late teens, and I feel like a 70 yo man! The main things which have helped me the most (joint-wise) is exercise, stretching and also powder collagen. I know the fatigue can leave you bed-bound at times, I've had my fair share of those days, but even if it means just lying down on the floor and doing arms and/or leg raises - it's better than nothing! Good luck guys 💪

Invisible and lonely indeed. When the word disability is used people expect to see a wheelchair, cane , oxygen tank etc but they never realize it’s just as bad especially because you don’t get the recognition, sympathy or support as other disabled people

Iam fully on board with you the struggles everyday are challenging and planing a long or short travel to use toilets on the way are a must. They would also have to be clean constantly because we need to be in a hygienic environment that’s my worry or maybe just my OCD. However may god have mercy on all of us that have invisible disability and make it easy for us love you all.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in March 2023. I have been told that I have to wait at least 1 year to see an IBD specialist. In the meantime, I have not received any info about diet or medication. This is Ipswitch Hospital

It’s terrible that it’s such a long process to be diagnosed, then it’s longer again to wait to be given any advice or therapy to help. These invisible things can be significantly detrimental to our physical and emotional health, yet it’s a field lacking in specialists. Only six more months to go! Easier said than done. But all the best for when that eventuates and I pray that it’s such a successful productive practitioner that You are looked after 💯 %

I feel bad for you my friend, I have been having a lot of issues like going to the toilet up to 12 times a day. My stomach never feels settled and I also have to wait up to a year to see a GI specialist. I wish you the best, because every day for me and I'm sure yourself is a living hell. The cramps are incredibly painful as well.

Can anyone please help me to understand if I have UC or Crohn's disease or something else? I have been dealing recently with frequent bowel movements in the morning sometimes (3-6times), also having heartburn every morning and left sided abdominal pain/discomfort. My tools sometimes look like mushy pies but bright brown coloured and malabsorbed. What could be my condition? My blood markers all fine, except the fecal Calprotectin which was 91ug/g last time. Thank you

Hi I am a medical scribe with over 10 years of medical experience....it sounds very possibly like IBD, ESPECIALLY with elevated fecal calprotectin! If you haven't already, go see your primary care and ask to be referred to a GI specialist so you can get a colonoscopy.

Starts with medication like steroids and azathioprine..I'd thatvdkesnt work you will need stronger medication and immunosuppressants like methotrexate, if that fails then you will have IV drips like Infixamab or an injection pen in to your stomach called Adulimumab..The last option is surgery to have your diseased bowel removed amd then you will need a Colostomy Bag which will be reversible after about 1 year but if your unlucky like me it won't work and you will have issues but if your lucky then it will be reversed and hopefully you will be in remission and it won't come back again but there's no guarantee

lnflammatory bowel disease, dunbar syndrome, primary immunodeficiency, type 1 diabetic autonomic neuropathy, and having even more invisible disabilities are issues i deal with on a daily basis. being a young american adult with a normal appearance and no universal healthcare has made getting disability assistance from the federal government ludicrous. i am a registered nurse // emt with multiple bachelor's degrees and graduated among the top of my class. I want to work, but need a pancreas transplant to do any meaningful employment. This is provided all my medical appointments do not interfere with work. Good luck, everyone.

Food and drink can impact symptoms when in a flare, but do not cause flare ups (it's your immune system). I have Crohn's and drink coffee, alcohol, etc. no issue; but a Diet Coke will have me collapsed in pain within the hour! Everyone is different:)

Has anyone noticed a correlation between IBD and having a recessed jaw (which leads to reduced airway and causes a cascade of stress responses in the body)? We need to be fixing the root issue of this disease, and I think this may be a major factor.
