I have crohns too I’ve had it for one year now, and it’s very interesting to know what’s going on in my body. Due to all the trips to hospital I now want to become a doctor and I’m working towards medical school now, to help people just like me!

I'm 39 and was diagnosed with crohn's in 2007, however I had symptoms for a few years before diagnosis. This disease completely upended my life and is so severe I had to quit my career as a chef and move in with my parents. Many many emergency room visits and countless doctor visits later, and the only thing which helps me live a relatively normal life is opioid medication and healthy diet. I've run the gamut of medication (I tried at least 35 different types of all sorts from corticosteroids, intense anti-inflammatory injections as well as supplements & probiotics) and thankfully have not reached the point where surgical resection is necessary, but I can't begin to describe just how much of a game changer the opioid medication has been for my quality of life and pain management. The most frustrating aspect of my disease has been finding a doctor who is willing to prescribe what I need in the amount that I need due to the crackdown on opiates by the pharmaceutical boards. There was a 2 year period where my previous doctor retired and I couldn't find a doctor who would prescribe the necessary medication, and those two years were the most hellish and depressing of my life having to live with full blown symptoms almost daily with zero relief. I'm sad to admit that I contemplated suicide during that time because I was wasting away and constantly in excruciating pain, opioid medication doesn't just help relieve the pain it also slows down my bowels from needed to use the bathroom 6 times a day and it helps retain nutrients and stop weight loss (in that two year period I had lost 90 pounds). Thankfully I have a decent doctor now who prescribes the only thing that helps me, however the dosage still isn't enough but it's far and away better than nothing at all. I pray that all of those who suffer from this disease can find a good doctor who listens to their needs and helps them manage it to where you have actual good quality of life!

I find these videos to be even better than khan academy's, they're simple, short and straight to the point. I also love the fact that I can find everything medicine related in 1 place, will definitely be using them very often when I start my med 1 in 2 weeks. Thank you Osmosis :)

I'm so glad I found a video that clearly explains what Crohns Disease actually does in the digestive system. I have Crohns Disease and have been diagnosed at age of 13. It will soon be my 2nd year of the time I was diagnosed. Knowing the symptoms and treatments I can get, I really wanted to know what was really happening in my system. This is very interesting! I really enjoyed learning from this video and it really helps! Thank you😁

Osmosis has made it easy for me, every time I study about something I watch a video about it on osmosis and it makes it so easy to remember, they explain it in a better way. Thank you Osmosis

I have crohn disease since a year I can't explain how painful it is and I'm dying inside because people don't see my problem so they think it's not that bad I'm feeling helpless everyday sometimes pain come sometimes it's get worse now I'm suffering from anemia too

[cathysmith]

Yes, I’ve had Crohn’s disease over 20 years so now it has turned cancerous. It is rough but with the proper diet and that is extremely important when you have Crohn’s any type of disease anyone with this or also rated colitis of any kind please watch what you eat strictly organic, and stay away from gluten, please

[UjiQuji]

Great video, as someone recently diagnosed with this (effects basically my entire gi) this helps me feel more educated about what's going on in my body, cheers

[jules.]

“what is crohn’s disease?”
a living hell

[Scopy]

I don’t understand when people say “had” if you actually have it it doesn’t go away

[doctorsid]

U guys made a medical stdnt's lite easy.. Allah bless u..

[alexeonbel]

I might have this. I was having some pain and discomfort, and after a colonoscopy they found ulceration around my terminal ileum. They also said that my blood test came back with markers for Crohn’s. But after a diet switch up I haven’t had any pain or discomfort since then. And now the doctors are unsure again as to my condition. I’m going back now for a follow up colonoscopy. I really hope I wake up and they tell me I’m alright, but I’m preparing for anything at this point.

[vijaydora]

my doctor got shocked by seeing me giving all the answers on chrons disese so daamn right tanks to your awesome video

Some people think it is isn’t a bacteria trigger but an animal protein trigger particularly diary.
Studies show most people with an autoimmune disease have reduction or remission on a low fat (no oil) whole food plant based diet (some also need to remove gluten).

[notinuse]

I was told by my doctor that they are not sure what cause crohns disease. In 13 just been diagnosed after people thinking I had a eating disorder when blood tests later showed that I have ibd

[audreymitchelljones]

My Boss Juat called me to tell me she has this illness, I am hurt, But like I told her We serve God who created us, Knew what we would go through, our bodies are not here for diseases
He can and will cure this disease. I stand on my faith, who is a healer, provider, doctor, lawyer mother father everything we need and want him to be, , I trust God

[omarbenilles]

Always head and shoulders above all. THANKS Osmosis
meanwhile I have a question please if you can answer it. what does fistula mean histologically ?

[cleofrossard]

This video, as the ulcerative colitis video, is really well done and it had been very helpful. Just one observation I would make, I missed the correlation with smoking (in both diseases).

[kerubinadj]

Thank you so much for this video! As a (if it officially exists as a type) visual learner, I absorbed way more knowledge from your video. Thank you for the time you put into it!
