Living with Crohn’s Disease can sometimes be very lonely. Since joining this online community of IBD bloggers, I have felt less alone than I have in a long time. It is comforting to find people who REALLY understand my daily struggles. These are people, who, despite being sick themselves, will do their best to brighten your day!

Thanks for pointing me to these. I’m a blogger with Crohns, but I don’t blog about my Crohns, especially since I was diagnosed after I started writing. It can be very isolating sometimes, mostly because I am too embarrassed to discuss life wtih Crohns. I look forward to exploring these.

I have been thinking about starting a blog about my Crohn’s journey for a long time! When I was diagnosed I found it difficult to find information other then that off medical sites. I plan on telling tales of my journey, try to help other with food ideas and I would love to be considered part of a community where we can help each other out.

Lauren, I love your blog. I do not suffer from this disease, but I recently got involved with the CCFA Team Challenge here in San Diego. I’m running the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon in November 2015 to support Crohn’s & Colitis. I’d LOVE your assistance (and your audience) in helping me reach my fundraising goal. Please view/share my personal page. Good luck on your journey and I’ll continue to keep reading.

I’m afraid I don’t. Food is a very individual type of category when dealing with IBD. There is not one thing that helps all people. This is still something I stuggle with myself.

Hello,
My name is Sattin, and I work for The Henne Group(www.thehennegroup.com)
We are conducting a unique project that involves individuals with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, that are on Entyvio. The Henne Group is collaborating with C Space, a trusted research agency, in building a private online advisory group, or online community, of 50 individuals living with various health ailments, in Australia, Canada, Germany, the US, and the UK. Participants will share their opinions and feedback with a well-respected pharmaceutical company, whose goal is to understand more about your journey as a patient and to help develop new therapies to improve patient care and treatment.
Patients who qualify and agree to participate will:
-Share their opinions and observations about their health experiences
-Interact with other individuals that have the same health ailments as they do
-Influence innovation at a pharmaceutical company
-Earn honoraria (Monthly electronic gift cards and payments) for market research participation
You can participate in this online community whenever and wherever it is convenient. You will be asked for your opinions and ideas in a variety of ways, including surveys, discussion boards, and brainstorming sessions. Members will typically spend about 5 to 15 minutes per week in the community. NO ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO SELL ANYTHING OR INFLUENCE MEMBERS’ THINKING AND ALL PARTICIPATION IS CONFIDENTIAL.
As a thank you for your time and contributions to the community, members have the opportunity to receive honoraria in the form of Amazon e-gift certificates along the way. The more they participate, the more they receive!
If you are interested in participating, please complete this short screener to see if you qualify.

Hello everyone.
It’s my first time really talking about my plight. 1st i have crohn’s but also I’m a TB carrier, so that means no Humara or any of different derivatives of such drug. So i have moved to Oregon and have started on cannabise, high CBD and the strieght CBD oil. I’m doing very well but now have a hard time finding a job.
